Ovid accordingly notices, as one amongst the familiar images of daybreak, the half-burnt torch of the traveller; and, apparently, from the position which it holds in his description, where it is ranked with the most familiar of all circumstances in all countries, that of the rural laborer going out to his morning tasks, it must have been common indeed: "Semiustamque facem vigilata nocte viator Ponet; et ad solitum rusticus ibit opus."
Thomas De Quincey - The Caesars
