With life at home, and suddenly returns,
Finding himself no happier abroad.
He rushes off to his villa driving like mad,

And yawns before he's put his foot inside,
Or falls asleep and seeks oblivion,

It clings to him the more closely against his will)
And hates himself because he is sick in mind
And does not know the cause of his disease. — Titus Lucretius Carus
