I have now reigned about 50 years in victory or peace, beloved by my subjects, dreaded by my enemies, and respected by my allies. Riches and honors, power and pleasure, have waited on my call, nor does any earthly blessing appear to have been wanting to my felicity.

Pure centrifugal force. You can see yourself hurtling ass end over teakettle into oblivion.

Like men since the beginning of time I wondered: What can I ever create that will equal the magnificence of this new life?
