and I cried blood (Caligula)
I hated my name since I was a child. Little Boot, Caligula, what a name. No one dared to say it to me. I hated it when I was called a madman, never to me. I thought I was God, I was, I could do whatever I wanted. But the one I abused the most, that was the one that struck me first, and I cried blood. How was that possible. A poet's note. Caligula was assassinated. He was one of the most famous Roman emperors.
