Gaius Pliny to Calvisius: Greetings I have spent all this time among my notes and ____ in the most pleasing tranquillity. You can ask “how are you able to do that Rome?” The ____ were on; a kind of ____ by which I am not in the least ____. They have no new ____, no variety, nothing, in short, you would wish to see twice. I am all the more astonished that so many thousands of ____ men so ____ long to watch again and again galloping horses, and charioteers standing in their chariots. Now if they were attracted by the speed of the horses or the skill of the charioteers, you could account for this somewhat. But in fact it is a bit of ____ cloth they favour, a bit of coloured cloth they ____ and if during the race itself and in mid contest the racing strip were to ____ from one racer to another, the enthusiasm and ____ will transfer too, and instantly leave the very drivers and horses whom they were just supporting from afar, and shouting their names.Such is the support; such is the influence in a ____ tunic. I can accept it from the crowd who are more ____ than that tunic but really, from serious men! When I see such men so insatiably fond of so silly, so low-brow, so uninteresting, an entertainment, I take some comfort that I am not taken in by this ____ and am glad to devote my ____ (which others throw away on the most idle use of time) over these days to literature. Farewell.
