He was alarmed, in spite of himself, by the rapid progress of the disease, and was inclined to throw the blame on young Iollas, who has attended me during his absence. It is difficult to remain an emperor in presence of a physician, and difficult even to keep ones essential quality as a man.<br><p style="text-align:right"><i>- Marguerite Yourcenar</i></p> '
