Letter CCCL.
Basil to Libanius.
Your annoyance is
over. Let this be the beginning of my letter. Go on mocking
and abusing me and mine, whether laughing or in earnest. Why say
anything about frost3286
| 3286 γριτή, an unknown
word. Perhaps akin to κρίοτη.
cf. Duncange s.v. | or snow, when you
might be luxuriating in mockery? For my part, Libanius, that I
may rouse you to a hearty laugh, I have written my letter enveloped in
a snow-white veil. When you take the letter in your hand, you
will feel how cold it is, and how it symbolizes the condition of the
sender—kept at home and not able to put head out of doors.
For my house is a grave till spring comes and brings us back from death
to life, and once more gives to us, as to plants, the boon of
existence.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
