the man i have become vir qui ego factus sum Explanation: This rendering assumes that 'man' in this context refers to the adult human male of the species ('vir'), not to our species as embracing both sexes ('homo'). The difference between 'vir qui ego factus sum' and 'homo qui factus sum' is, freely, the difference between 'the (ideal) man who I have become' and 'the sort of person which I have become.' |
