LUCIAN, SATIRIST AND ARTIST
the measures of Alcaeus and Sappho; Virgil, dreaming of some new grace for his Aeneid; Ovid like a revelling bee storing his own fra grant honey from Hymettus though destined, in the " trist " days to come, merely to sight the
Acropolis
from the Saronic Gulf as he sailed by despairingly to his distant exile; Pliny, the meticulous imperial official of Lucian's own day, pausing perhaps, en retour from Bithynia, to secure some Greek gem for insertion in the charming setting of his epistles; or — a vivid tradition at least to the Christians — Saint Paul as interpreter of " an Unknown God "; and, finally, the successive epiphanies of the imperial masters themselves, Augustus, Nero, Hadrian, Aurelius.

Many a thing you did to save me,
Many a holy gift you gave me,
Music and friends and happy love
More than my dearest dreaming of;
And now in this wide
twilight
hour
With earth and heaven a dark, blue flower,
In a humble mood I bless
Your wisdom--and your waywardness.

--With regard to
philosophical
metaphysics I see ever
more and more who have arrived at the negative goal (that all positive
metaphysic is a delusion) but as yet very few who go a few steps
backward: one should look out over the last rungs of the ladder, but not
try to stand on them, that is to say.

J’emmenais Françoise au-devant de Gilberte jusqu’à l’Arc-de-Triomphe,
nous ne la rencontrions pas, et je revenais vers la pelouse persuadé
qu’elle ne viendrait plus, quand, devant les chevaux de bois, la
fillette à la voix brève se jetait sur moi: «Vite, vite, il y a déjà
un quart
d’heure
que Gilberte est arrivée.
