Silenus

Martin Silenus approached the group and sat on the railing.

Martin Silenus looked up from where he crouched by the corpse.

Martin Silenus lay three bodies away on a lower tier.

Other people hang above, below, and behind him, but Silenus spends little time observing them.

Martin Silenus walked to the railing and spat into the river.

Martin Silenus folds his arms and stares at the doorway, waiting.

Martin Silenus had never begged in his long, long life.

Martin Silenus was not at the edge of the dead city when she detoured to it.

I don't even like you, she thought at Martin Silenus and chopped again.

Her lips all but disappeared into a thin line whenever she spoke to Silenus.

They spoke little and none had found anything to say to Martin Silenus.

I thought he was a very sensible old man,' said Professor Silenus.

"The poet, Silenus, has been drunk much of the time.

"My plan was to finish the universe's greatest poem and then go home," said Silenus.

Silenus sat on the dune and sipped from his water bottle.

Silenus arches, lifts his head, tried to focus through the haze of pain.

He and Professor Silenus were standing on the terrace after dinner.

Deep in penury, Silenus had to work as a common laborer.

Silenus shrugged, feeling the heat and dizziness whirl around him.

"Bring the elevator down for the rest of us," said Martin Silenus.

She could not go where the last pilgrim, Martin Silenus, had come from.

She cursed Silenus for not coming with her; the old man could have carried at least a half a dozen water bottles.

Finally Martin Silenus looked up from where he had been writing on a small pad of paper.

Martin Silenus was sitting on the broad ledge below the stern windows.

As Silenus fell asleep, the king's servants seized and took him to their master.
