Such was the Rome of Augustus. "Caesar," cried a mime to him one day, "do you know that it is important for you that the people should be interested in Bathylle and in myself?" The mime was right. The sovereign of Rome was not the Caesar, nor yet the aristocracy. The latter was dead.
She was elusive as dream, subtle as love; she intoxicated and entranced; and finally, as she threw herself on her hands, her feet, first in the air and then slowly descending, touched the ground, while her body straightened like a reed, there was a long growl of unsatisfied content. She was kneeling now before the dais. Pilate compared her to Bathylle, a mime whom he had applauded at Rome.
