The General in His Labyrinth
Simón Bolívar, forty-six and down to eighty-eight pounds, leaves Bogotá for the last time to sail the Magdalena toward a European exile, trailed by an entourage that shrinks at every landing and by word that the republics he made are dismantling one another. He rages, bathes, dictates letters and counts the men he freed who now want him gone. The liberator taken down off the plinth.
