Latin in Pilgrim at Tinker Book

For my AP Lang class we read the book Pilgrim at Tinker by Annie Dillard and the author incorporated latin words into the book such as "fuge, tace, quiesce" and "veni!". The first phrase means "flee, be silent, stay" and the second phrase meaning "come". All of the words are imperative giving commands. She used these words to emphasize her points made earlier and it provided a stylistic flair to her already impressive writing.
