“Achilles. I cannot bear to see you grieving. His limbs twitch and shudder. Give us both peace. Burn me, and bury me. I will wait for you among the shades. I will - But already he is waking. 'Patroclus! Wait! I am here!' He shakes the body beside him. When I do not answer, he weeps again.” — Madeline Miller
Achilles. I cannot bear to see you grieving.
His limbs twitch and shudder.
Give us both peace. Burn me, and bury me. I will wait for you among the shades. I will -
But already he is waking. 'Patroclus! Wait! I am here!'
He shakes the body beside him. When I do not answer, he weeps again.
