"King Demetrius" by Constantine Cavafy "When the Macedonians abandoned him, showing their preference for Pyrrhus, King Demetrius (that great-souled man) did not comport himself - so they say - like a king in the least. He went and unfastened his golden robes, threw off his purple buskins, hurriedly dressed in simple clothes and left, behaving just like an actor who, when the curtain falls, changes his costume and departs." Swallow your pride and you will leave with your life still in your hands.
