The principal modern parts are: the right arm of Laocoon with the adjacent parts of the snake, the right arm of the younger son with the coil of the snake around it, and the right hand and wrist of the older son.

I did not sleep well during what was left of the night, for my mind went traveling backward and forward through the ages.
