  •                                                      C. P. Cavafy
  •   1. Addison writes in the Spectator (Wednesday, 2 July
    2. 1712):
    3. “It is the most agreeable talent of an historian, to be able to draw 4. “up his armies and fight his battles in proper expressions, to set
    5. “before our eyes the divisions, cabals, and jealousies of great men,
    6. “and to lead us step by step into the several actions and events 7. “of his history. We love to see the subject unfolding itself by
    8. “just degrees, and breaking upon us insensibly, that so we may 9. “be kept in a pleasing suspense, and have time given us to
    10. “raise our expectations, and to side with one of the parties concer 11. “ned in the relation. I confess this shows more the art than the
    12. “veracity of the historian, but I am only to speak of him as he is 13. “qualified to please the Imagination. And in this respect Livy
    14. “has, perhaps, excelled all who went before him, or have writ 15. “ten since his time. He describes everything in so lively a man
    16. “ner, that his whole history is an admirable picture, and 17. “touches on such proper circumstances in every story, that his
    18. “reader becomes a kind of spectator, and feels in himself all 19. “the variety of passions that are correspondent to the several parts
    20. “of the relation”. –
