... For if I am in sore plight, I would not therefore wish
affliction to be the lot of all the world. No, indeed, no! since,
besides, I am distressed by the fate of my brother Atlas, who,
towards the west, stands bearing on his shoulders the pillar of
heaven and earth, a burthen not easy for his arms to grasp.
