" "The matter, says Mardonios, has gone too far, the talk it has aroused must be stopped at all cost. — So Julian goes to the church at Nicomedia, a lector again, and there with deep reverence he reads out loud passages from the Holy Scriptures, and everyone marvels at his Christian piety.

Additional quotes by Konstantinos P. Cavafy
Wśród lęku i podejrzeń,
z zamętem w myślach, z trwogą w oczach,
rozpaczliwie szukamy jakichkolwiek sposobów,
aby uniknąć oczywistej grozy,
która jest tuż przed nami.
A jednak się mylimy: nie ma jej na drodze.
Wieści kłamały
(a może ich nie było albośmy ich nie pojęli).
Zupełnie inna klęska, nigdy nie przeczuwana,
nagle jak burza na nas spada
i nie przygotowanych — a czasu już brak — zagarnia.

But some who looked more carefully would understand and step aside; and as he disappeared under the arcades, among the shadows and the evening lights, going toward the quarter that lives only at night, with orgies and debauchery, with every kind of intoxication and desire, they would wonder which of Them it could be, and for what suspicious pleasure he had come down into the streets of Selefkia from the August Celestial Mansions.
