when he reached his fiftieth year , he withdrew from all things and would no longer exercise his arts . one summer evening he was sitting in his courtyard , enjoying the cool air . while there he drank a number of goblets of wine , and by midnight had fallen fast asleep . suddenly he awoke , feeling ill . it seemed as though some one were patting him on the back , and before he knew it , the ball of fire had leaped out from his throat .
