"Look at me, and know your husband's
ghost...I am gone, beyond all help or
hope forever."
-Ceyx's ghost
"Your father will drink. He will be likely-
as any man will be- to listen to my
suggestion that a pretty girl adores you,
loves you, and wants to visit your
bedroom. Can she?"
-Myrrha's Nursemaid
"She escaped into darkness, out of
the room, the house, the city, into
remote and exotic lands..."
"The soul wanders in the dark, until
it finds love. And so, wherever our
love goes, there we find our soul"
'You know, my knees were weak, I was
blind from all the light. I set the Earth
on fire. And I fell."
Phaeton
"Bodies, I have in mind, and how
they ca change to assume new
shapes-"
"The 'inner life'/ What uselessness. All
right then. Off you go. You may sleep in
the cabana."
-Midas
"As Orpheus spoke, the pale phantoms began
to weep. Tantalus was no longer thirsty, and
Sisyphus sat on his rock to listen."
