CLEOPATRA, by Georg Ebers, v7 [GE#41][ge41v10.txt]5479

Epicurus, who believed that with death all things ended
No, she was not created to grow old
Nothing in life is either great or small
Priests: in order to curb the unruly conduct of the populace
She would not purchase a few more years of valueless life
To govern the world one must have less need of sleep
What changes so quickly as joy and sorrow




CLEOPATRA, by Georg Ebers, v8 [GE#42][ge42v10.txt]5480

Fairest dreams of childhood were surpassed
Golden chariot drawn by tamed lions
Life had fulfilled its pledges
Until neither knew which was the giver and which the receiver




CLEOPATRA, by Georg Ebers, v9 [GE#43][ge43v10.txt]5481

Pain is the inseparable companion of love
