# Letters to Atticus/2.14

Translated by Evelyn Shuckburgh

## To Atticus at Rome
### Formiae, April 59 BC

How you rouse my curiosity as to what Bibulus says, as to your conversation with "Iuno," and even as to your "fast" dinner party! Therefore make haste to come, for my ears are thirsty for news. However, there is nothing which I think is now more to be dreaded by me than that our dear Sampsiceramus, finding himself belaboured by the tongues of all, and seeing these proceedings easy to upset, should begin striking out. For myself, I have so completely lost all nerve, that I prefer a despotism, with the existing peace, to a state of war with the best hopes in the world. As to literary composition, to which you frequently urge me, it is impossible! My house is a basilica rather than a villa, owing to the crowds of visitors from Formiae. But (you'll say) do I really compare the Aemilian tribe to the crowd in a basilica? Well, I say nothing about the common ruck—the rest of them don't bother me after ten o'clock: but C. Arrius is my next door neighbour, or rather, he almost lives in my house, and even declares that the reason for his not going to Rome is that he may spend whole days with me here philosophizing! And then, lo and behold, on my other side is Sebosus, that friend of Catulus! Which way am I to turn? By heaven, I would start at once for Arpinum, only that I see that the most convenient place to await your visit is Formiae: but only up to the 6th of May! For you see with what bores my ears are pestered. What a splendid opportunity, with such fellows in the house, if anyone wanted to buy my Formian property! And in spite of all this am I to make good my words, "Let us attempt something great, and requiring much thought and leisure"? However, I will do something for you, and not spare my labour.

## Footnotes

* ↑ At comparem for at quam partem. At has its usual force of introducing a supposed objection. I can't, say you, compare the Aemilian tribe, the Formiani, to a crowd in a court-house! They are not so bad as that, not so wasteful of time! I take basilica to mean the saunterers in a basilica, as we might say "the park" for the company in it, "the exchange" for the brokers in it. I feel certain that Prof. Tyrrell is wrong in ascribing the words sed ... sunt to a quotation from Atticus's letter. What is wanted is to remove the full stop after sunt. The contrast Cicero is drawing is between the interruption to literary work of a crowd of visitors and of one or two individuals always turning up. The second is the worse—and here I think all workers will agree with him: the crowd of visitors (vulgus) go at the regular hour, but individuals come in at all hours.
* ↑ Because he would be inclined to sell it cheap in his disgust.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 132/Issue 1701/A Doubting Heart

* A DOUBTING HEART.
* Where are the swallows fled?
* Frozen and dead,
* Perchance upon some bleak and stormy shore,
* O doubting heart!
* Far over purple seas,
* They wait in sunny ease
* The balmy southern breeze,
* To bring them to the northern home once more.
* Why must the flowers die?
* Prisoned they lie
* In the cold tomb, heedless of tears or rain.
* O doubting heart!
* They only sleep below
* The soft white ermine snow,
* While winter winds shall blow,
* To breathe and smile upon you soon again.
* The sun has hid its rays
* These many days;
* Will dreary hours never leave' the earth?
* O doubting heart!
* The stormy clouds on high
* Veil the same sunny sky,
* That soon (for spring is nigh)
* Shall wake the Summer into golden mirth.
* Fair hope is dead, and light
* Is quenched in night.
* What sound can break the silence of despair?
* O doubting heart!
* Thy sky is overcast,
* Yet stars shall rise at last,
* Brighter for darkness past,
* And angels' silver voices stir the air.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 132/Issue 1701/A Year Ago

* A YEAR AGO.
* A year ago we walked the woods,
* A year ago to-day;
* The lanes were white with blackthorn bloom,
* The hedges sweet with may.
* We trod the happy woodland ways,
* Where sunset lights between
* The slender hazel-stems streamed clear,
* And turned to gold the green.
* Thrushes sang through the cool green arch,
* Where clouds of windflowers grew:
* That beauty all was lost to me,
* For lack of love to you.
* And you, too, missed the peace which might
* Have been, yet might not be,
* From too much doubt and fear of fate,
* And too much love of me.
* This year, O love! no thing is changed:
* As bright a sunset glows;
* Again we walk the wild wet woods,
* Again the bluebell blows.
* But still our drifted spirits fail
* Spring's happiness to touch;
* For now you do not care for me,
* And I love you too much!
* D. Nesbit.
* Good Words.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 132/Issue 1701/Cæli

* CÆLI.
* If stars were really watching eyes
* Of angel legions in the skies,
* I should forget the countless host,
* And seek your gazes still the most.
* And if your eyes were really stars,
* With leagues of desertspace for bars
* To keep me from their longed-for day,
* I should not feel so far away.
* F. W. B.
* Spectator.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 132/Issue 1700/Harvest

* HARVEST.
* The corn-land is lying in brief, deep rest,
* While tempest is sullen, or sunshine blithe;
* Sweet is the scent of the farrow refreshed
* After the raid of the pitiless scythe.
* Now recks it little — come shower or sun —
* The harvest is carried, the work is done.
* The jubilant summer has yielded its sway,
* And August has lavished its gold on the year;
* Magic of moonlight, dazzle of day,
* One long laughter with never a tear!
* Harvest of happiness, gathered and stored,
* Winds cannot scatter the ample hoard.
* Awe of the mountain, and calm of the lake,
* Mirth of the valley, and sigh of the breeze;
* Freedom of upland, and moorland, and brake,
* Music of forests, of torrents, of seas:
* Harvest of memories, golden and gay;
* Fear not for dearth in the wintry day.
* Smooth out the seaweed, and dream o'er its spells;
* Tighten and tie up the salt-laden tresses;
* Little ones, lay by the basket and shells,
* Put on the shoes again, turn down the dresses.
* Harvest of health, in its happiest guise,
* Rosy-brown faces and laughter-lit eyes.
* Ah! but the woods in their midsummer green!
* Bright with the flow of the musical river:
* Shading soft blushes with tenderest screen,
* Touched with an echo of voices that quiver.
* Harvest of love! Is it anything new?
* Should Cupid not gather his harvest too?
* All The Year Round.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 132/Issue 1700/Let it be

* LET IT BE.
* Let be the river! What does it avail
* To struggle with the current's destined course?
* The strongest effort does but faint and fail,
* Skill yields, out-tired, to resistless force.
* The highest rock is overleapt by spray,
* The silent waters fret each bar away.
* Vainly the bulwark fashioned deep and wide,
* New bed contrived, new turn by cunning wrought;
* Steady, resistless, onward flows the tide,
* Each gathering wave with gathering purpose fraught,
* Till, full and free, rejoicing in its strength,
* It sweeps to ocean's mighty arms at length.
* Let be the river! Let the loved alone
* To meet the fate, and shape the circumstance.
* We dream the future, fancying all our own,
* What does but wait the call of time and chance;
* Foredoomed, the path before the pilgrim lies,
* The sunset lurking in the morning skies.
* Let be the river! Hail its rippling smile,
* Listen its song, and shiver to its sigh;
* Let its chafed beauty weary hours beguile,
* Watch how it darkens to the darkening sky;
* We cannot cloud or brighten, speed or check,
* Nor alter on its way the tiniest beck.
* Let be the river then! Where lilies float,
* And blue forget-me-nots beside it shimmer,
* Take gladness in its suns' reflected mote,
* And soothing from its moonlights' dreamy glimmer;
* Happy if still your faltering footsteps tend
* Beside its varying currents to the end!
* All The Year Round.

​Mr. Gladstone on the Study of History. — The Liverpool Albion says that "A Young Liberal" having written to Mr. Gladstone asking him to furnish a list of books the best calculated in his opinion to supply a knowledge of history bearing upon political questions of the present time, has received the following reply: "Sir, — Among the books you might read with advantage are 'Green's Popular History of England,' ' Hallam's Constitutional History of England,' 'Ranke's History of England,' 'Guizot's History of the Great Rebellion,' 'Sir E. May's Parliamentary History of England.' These works are generally free from the spirit of partisanship. But let me observe that no one can effectually study history for present purposes without also examining into the accounts of other countries and of ancient times. — Your faithful servant, W. E. Gladstone."

# Littell's Living Age/Volume 132/Issue 1700/Halidon Hill

* HALIDON HILL.
* A BORDER BATTLE-FIELD.
* A sun-clad slope of living green
* Under a cloudless autumn sky —
* Say, can it be that this sweet scene,
* So bright, so sheltered, so serene,
* Once echoed with a battle-cry?
* Broad, golden fields of waving corn
* Tremble before the wind's soft breath,
* While through the air is gaily borne
* The reaper's song at early morn —
* And this was once a field of death!
* No sculptured stone nor marble fair
* Now marks the spot where warriors bled;
* Only kind spring's returning care,
* As though she knew who slumbers there,
* Bids her first primrose raise its head.
* What though this battle has no place
* In Scotland's roll of victories won —
* The noblest of her patriot race
* Here met their foemen face to face,
* And bravely was their duty done.
* Stern fate is theirs who, conquering, die;
* But his an anguish keener far
* Who on the gory field must lie,
* And hear the foe's exulting cry:
* "Our arms have turned the tide of war!"
* Then tenderly let Scotland weep
* Over her unrequited brave,
* And in her heart their memory keep,
* All restfully the while they sleep
* In nature's lone and peaceful grave.

# Love Dreaming of Death

First published in The Empire, 20 November 1855, p3
I dreamt my little Boys were dead, And I was sitting wild and lone: On my unmoving knees, my head Lay rigid as a stone.
And there I sate without a tear, And though I drew Life's conscious breath, All life to me was cold and drear And comfortless as death.
So time-destroying was my grief, Time moved not, neither slow nor fast; Nor reck'd I, whether periods brief Or centuries had passed.
It was as if to marble cold My loss had petrified the air, And I was shut within its hold, Made deathless by despair.
And more the gorgon horror crushed With dry petrific pressure in, Till forth my waking spirit rushed With agonising din!
And oh! what joy it was to wake— To cast that haggard dream away, And from its stony influence break, Into the living day.
I sought the objects of my care, And felt, while I embraced the twain, How much even from a dream's despair A Father's love may gain.

Love divine, all loves excelling, Joy of heaven, to earth come down; fix in us thy humble dwelling; all thy faithful mercies crown! Jesus thou art all compassion, pure, unbounded love thou art; visit us with thy salvation; enter every trembling heart.
Breathe, O breathe thy loving Spirit into every troubled breast! Let us all in thee inherit; let us find that second rest. Take away our bent to sinning; Alpha and Omega be; end of faith, as its beginning, set our hearts at liberty.
Come, Almighty to deliver, let us all thy life receive; suddenly return and never, nevermore thy temples leave. Thee we would be always blessing, serve thee as thy hosts above, pray and praise thee without ceasing, glory in thy perfect love.
Finish, then, thy new creation; pure and spotless let us be. Let us see thy great salvation perfectly restored in thee; changed from glory into glory, till in heaven we take our place, till we cast our crowns before thee, lost in wonder, love, and praise.

# Love Dies In Spring

    Love dies in spring and mounts to
    heaven,
    By a perfumed stair,
    Attended by magnolia blooms
    Still and white as prayer.
    The bells of other worlds than this
    Intone the midnight hour,
    And they that dance the Mardi Gras
    See a drooping flower.

## To Atticus at Rome
### Arpinum, April-May 56 BC

Nothing could be better timed than your letter, which much relieved the anxiety I was feeling about that excellent boy, our Quintus. Two hours earlier Chaerippus had arrived: his news was simply awful. As to what you say about Apollonius, why, heaven confound him! a Greek and turn bankrupt! Thinks he may do what Roman knights do! For, of course, Terentius is within his rights! As to Metellus—de mortuis, etc.—yet there has been no citizen die these many years past who----. Well, I am willing to warrant your getting the money: for what have you to fear, whomsoever he made his heir, unless it were Publius? But he has, in fact, made a respectable man his heir, though he was himself----! Wherefore in this business you will not have to open your money-chest: another time you will be more cautious. Please see to my instructions about my house: hire some guards: give Milo a hint. The Arpinates grumble amazingly about Laterium. Well, what can I say? I was much annoyed myself, but "to words of mine he gave no heed." For the rest, take care of young Cicero and love him as always.

## To Atticus returning from Epirus
### Antium, April 56 BC

It will be delightful if you come to see us here. You will find that Tyrannio has made a wonderfully good arrangement of my books, the remains of which are better than I had expected. Still, I wish you would send me a couple of your library slaves for Tyrannio to employ as gluers, and in other subordinate work, and tell them to get some fine parchment to make title-pieces, which you Greeks, I think, call "sillybi." But all this is only if not inconvenient to you. In any case, be sure you come yourself, if you can halt for a while in such a place, and can persuade Pilia to accompany you. For that is only fair, and Tullia is anxious that she should come. My word! You have purchased a fine troop! Your gladiators, I am told, fight superbly. If you had chosen to let them out you would have cleared your expenses by the last two spectacles. But we will talk about this later on. Be sure to come, and, as you love me, see about the library slaves.
