2 /bidxyl 3. » Ihid. xii. 3. ATTICUS 145 ever pleasure he experienced at being flted^ applauded, flattered, at having around him an obsequious and admiring multitude, in the midst of this crowd and noise he always turned with regret towards his absent friend. '' With all these people, he tells him, I feel myself more alone than if I had only you." ^ All these people, in £act, are composed of political friends who change with circumstances, whom a common interest brings to you, and a rival ambit...ion takes away again ; with them Cicero is obliged to be reserved and careful, which is a torture for such an open-hearted nature. On the other hand, he can tell Atticus everything, and confide in him without restraint. So he hastens to demand his presence when the least annoyance happens to him. *' I want you, he writes to him, I have need of you, I am waiting for you. I have a thousand things that disturb and vex me, and a single walk with you will relieve me."^ We should never end if we were to collect all those charming expressions of which the correspondence is full, and in which his heart plainly speaks.
