| the borderless kingdom regnum sine fine Explanation: Or, more classically, 'sine fini'. 'Finis' means literally 'end' but is used metaphorically of the border of a country. The Latin means literally 'the kingdom without a border', the prepositional phrase 'sine fine' being used in an adjectival capacity, a construction found in prose but much more commonly in poetry. |
