such as &#8216;One Night&#8217;, &#8216;I Have Gazed So Much&#8217;, and &#8216;The Caf\u00e9 Entrance&#8217;, as well as establish a dialogue with the ancient past, such as in &#8216;Anna Comnena&#8217;, &#8216;You Did Not Understand&#8217;, &#8216;Ides Of March&#8217;, &#8216;The God Abandoning Antony&#8217;, and &#8216;Nero&#8217;s Deadline&#8217;.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
