seem (v.): vĭdeor, vīsus, 2: foll. by nom. in apposition or infin. mood: the death of those men s.s happy, illorum beata mors v., Cic. Am. 7, 23: they s. (as it were) to banish the sun from the world, solem e mundo tollere videntur, ib. 13, 47. N.B.--Videor is rarely impersonal, the personal constr. being preferred: e. g. it seems to me that you are a passionate man, stomachosus esse videris (Kr.): rather than videtur mihi te (L. G. § 232, Obs.): except when videtur = it seems good (tibi si videbitur, villis iis utere).
