Agricola (Virginia, United States) (search for this): chapter 39
Of this series of events,
though not exaggerated in the despatches of Agricola by any boastfulness of
language, Domitian heard, as was his wont, with joy in his face but anxiety
in his heart. He felt conscious that all men laughed at his late mock
triumph over Germany, for which there had been
purchased from traders people whose dress and hair might be made to resemble
those of captives, whereas now a real and splendid victory, with the
destruction of thousands of the enemy, was being cel
graceful accomplishments of civil life, if another were to forestall the
distinctions of war. To other glories he could more easily shut his eyes,
but the greatness of a good general was a truly imperial quality. Harassed
by these anxieties, and absorbed in an incommunicable trouble, a sure
prognostic of some cruel purpose, he decided that it was best for the
present to suspend his hatred until the freshness of Agricola's renown and
his popularity with the army should begin to pass away.
