The Latin in “Girl, Interrupted”?
In the scene where Susanna was seeing Dr. Wick, Dr. Wick spoke Latin (or I believe it was Latin, anyway), then she said what it meant in English. Does anyone know where it came from and where I can find a copy of this passage, namely so I’ll know how to spell it? I loved it.

What place is this, what region, what quarter of the world? Where am I? Under the rising of the sun or beneath the wheeling course of the frozen bear?
