As the end approaches, there are no longer any images from memory. There are only words. It is not strange that time may have confused those that once portrayed me with those that were symbols of the fate of the person that accompanied me for so many centuries. I have been Homer. Soon like you, Lizzie's, I shall be nobody. Soon I shall be all men. I shall be dead. That is a reference to Odysseus in the Odyssey on the Cyclops Island and the way he tricked the Cyclops to not get help from the other Cyclops as they were attacking him was to say that his name was nobody.
