1' ' SLEEP By FRED R1-IEA, january, 1931 He had started out with high hopes of traveling across all Greece. His voyage across the Adriatic Sea, however, had already ruined his enthusiasm for the trip. His frail body could not endure the heat, and he had now become very weak. He gladly accepted the invitation to go to the house of Tullus. He hardly knew when he was being carried from the ship to his friend's house. It was near the shore, and he was soon resting on a bed of tortoise shell and ivory. Many thoughts passed through his feverish mind as he lay in pain. I-Ie, Virgil, the poet, had not finished his great life work, the Aeneid. Then his thoughts went to glorious Rome, in praise of which his Aeneid was written. His poor literary effort seemed quite unworthy of its subject. The task of ever describing the greatness of Rome seemed now impossible. Suddenly he wished to destroy it--to hide it-so that nobody could read it! Next the shuttle of his feverish mind picked up another thread. His father, mother, sisters, brothers had all died. He himself was over fifty years old, and he, too, wished to greet death. He longed to be back at the bay of Naples and to pick the hard red apples, as he did when he was a boy. But alas! he was far away from home. Then he bade the tired servants to sleep. just before midnight he himself sank to rest in death and slept. E281
