Letter 7013: Ad Felicem socium
XIII. Ad Felicem socium
To Felix, His Companion
The high towers of Pierian [the Muses' mountain in northern Greece — here meaning learned or poetic] pride are difficult — I can barely reach them with a humble hand. But since we shared the one hall of our homeland as companions, trusting in that affection, I knock at your door, dear one.
