It was not possible for her to love me less, nor could she love me more. As for me, my love seemed to be more violent, because it was sometimes interrupted. Ardasira alone was capable of satisfying my passion ; but there were circumstances that drew me from it ; I often followed the stags in the forest, and went forth to combat the wild beasts.
86 " I began at last to imagine that the life I led was too obscure. ' I am living, ' said I, ' in the dominions of the King of Margiana, why do I not a...ppear at Court ? ' The glory of my father rushed upon my mind. It is difficult to bear the weight of a great name, for then the virtues of ordinary men are not the goal which we should attain, but the point whence we must start. We are always more eager to fulfil the expectations of others than our own resolves. When I was in Media, I was obliged to humble myself, and to conceal my virtues with more anxiety than my vices. If I was not the slave of the Court, I was the slave of its jealousy. ' But now that I am master of myself, ' thought I, ' in- dependent, since I am bound to no country, and as free in the midst of these forests as the lions that inhabit them, my mind will degenerate to the common level, if I continue to tread in the common road.
