Genesis 8:11
Douay-Rheims
And she came to him in the evening, carrying a bough of an olive tree, with green leaves, in her mouth. Noe therefore understood that the waters were ceased upon the earth.
Francis Patrick Kenrick
The olive tree retains its verdure even nnder water. It is remarkable that it has been taken as the emblem of peace, even by the heathens, as is evident from Virgil. iEneid 8 : 110. Paciferaque manu ramum prsetendit olivss.
