non eo tantum uolo tecto tegi quod imbrem ac uentum arceat, sed etiam quod uisum et oculos delectet.
Remarks about the translation
Ceci est un extrait de texte de Ciceron assez complexe...
J'avais pensé à: "parcequ'il n'empêche pas que son toit le couvre de la pluie et du vent, mais encore qu'il puisse charmer la vue et les yeux."
Mais je ne suis pas certaine du sens des mots, le sens de la phrase est incorrect et je n'arrive pas à faire paraître la nuance du subjonctif! Merci beaucoup de votre aide.

"I want him not only to be covered by a roof that protects him from rain and wind, but also by one that pleases his sight and eyes"
Visus = sight, face, sense... I think "sight" is the better one.

Uhm, I've checked a thing... I think it's better: "I want not only to be covered by a roof that protects (me) from rain and wind, but also by one that pleases (my) sight and eyes"

Sorry for the mistake.
