Just read a scene in a book where a character takes his amour to visit a private palazzo in Rome because he wants to show her a statue of... Antinous. Prior to reading 'Memoirs of Hadrian' the meaning & subtext of this gesture would've gone over (under?) my head. #HadrianTogether

@Miss_Mainwaring @AnnSmithSF @piaze @AlisonJaye Me too. There were a few moments in #HadrianTogether where I had to go with a red pencil.

#TheWaves2022 #HadrianTogether "...one cannot find fault with the...style if one begins letters 'Dear Sir,' ends them 'yours faithfully'; one cannot despise these phrases laid like Roman roads across the tumult of our lives...tho' one may be humming nonsense under one's breath.."

@paul_filev Me too! Was inspired by a fellow #HadrianTogether reader who was inspired to read it during that slow-read. I feel like I know them - hope nothing bad happens to them. 😳

@literatureSC @worldserious42 I would totally read this. Especially after the frequent mention in #HadrianTogether

@DykasMary Currently four, which is about my max. I'm in three group reads and most always have one additional going on my own. One of my brothers, who reads little fiction, caught one of my #HadrianTogether tweets, picked up the book, and is loving it. Pleasant surprise for me.

#hadriantogether Thanks to @literatureSC and our little band of fellow readers and to the person who left this book in our Little Free Library a couple of years ago. Hospes Comesque is applicable to some books- this is one of them.

What I could say has been said; what I could learn has been learned. Let us turn, for the time that is left to us, to other work. (347) #HadrianTogether FINIS

Do the best one can. Do it over again. Then still improve, even if ever so slightly, those retouches. "It is myself that I remake," said the poet Yeats in speaking of his revisions. (344) #HadrianTogether

The Second Century appeals to me because it was the last century for a very long period of time, in which men could think and express themselves with full freedom. As for us, we are perhaps already very far from such times as that. (342) #HadrianTogether

It did not take me long to realize that I had embarked upon the life of a very great man. From that time on, still more respect for the truth, closer attention, and, on my part, ever more silence. (341) #HadrianTogether

Day 37, Nov 10: "What I could say has been said; what I could learn has been learned. Let us turn, for the time that is left to us, to other work." (Sounds like me each day after I've finished scrolling Twitter.) But seriously, I very much liked MY's reflections. #hadriantogether

If this man had not maintained peace in the world, and revived the economy of the empire, his personal fortunes and misfortunes would have moved me less. (333) #HadrianTogether
