Odyssey

Book 9, Line 413 by Samuel Butler (English)

"Then they went away, and I laughed inwardly at the success of my clever stratagem, but the Cyclops , groaning and in an agony of pain, felt about with his hands till he found the stone and took it from the door; then he sat in the doorway and stretched his hands in front of it to catch anyone going out with the sheep, for he thought I might be foolish enough to attempt this.
