I have now finished a long course of Greek drama, having read the whole of Euripides at least once, and eight or ten of his plays twice or even thrice. I shall now confine myself to history - to Herodotus, Tacitus, Thucydides, and Suetonius. When I have finished all of them once more, or probably even sooner, I shall be finished myself.
