Sickness and Homesickness

Ovid, Tristia 3.3.13-14 (tr. Arthur Leslie Wheeler):
Aweary I lie among these far-away peoples in this far-away place,
and thoughts come to me in my weakness of everything that is not here.

lassus in extremis iaceo populisque locisque,
    et subit adfecto nunc mihi, quicquid abest.
