>I was just playing around on the internet to see what, if any connection there is between Virginia and Seneca, the Roman poet and stoic whose suicide is one of the world's most famous. Leonard loved and quoted Montaigne, the great Renaissance acolyte of Seneca, and by any account was one of the 20th century's radiant stoics. How Seneca's suicide might have impinged upon Virginia art, or her actual suicide, is of interest to the considered suicide partisans.
