| NEVER LOOK BACK |
REPUTATION
There are obvious elements of romance in
this famous love story: deep love causes
one to do anything - including literally going
through hell - to get the other back, as an
example. For the Greeks, this tragedy is
largely seen as a cautionary tale about the
inability to control passion, as Orpheus
wheels around to see Eurydice before
making sure she is on the surface.
 |
| Eduard Kasparides: Orphée et Eurydice |
Only a brief pause would have
guaranteed him a full life with her. One
well-known philosopher, in Particular,
took a different view: Plato
called Orpheus a coward, saying that, if
he truly loved Eurydice, he would have
died to be with her instead of attempting
to circumvent the natural order.

BY SHAKESPEARE
Orpheus with his lute made trees
And the mountain tops that freeze
Bow themselves when he did sing:
To his music plants and flowers
Ever sprung; as sun and showers
There had made a lasting spring.
Every thing that heard him play,
Even the billows of the sea,
Hung their heads and then lay by.
In sweet music is such art,
Killing care and grief of heart
Fall asleep, or hearing, die.
~ William Shakespeare ~

You walked in front of me,

grown fangs and killed me.
pulling me back out
to the green light that had once
grown fangs and killed me.
numb, like an arm
gone to sleep; the return
to time was not my choice.
By then I was used to silence.
Though something stretched between us
like a whisper, like a rope:
my former name,
drawn tight.
You had your old leash
with you, love you might call it,
and your flesh voice.
Before your eyes you held steady
the image of what you wanted
me to become: living again.
It was this hope of yours
that kept me following.
I was your hallucination, listening
and floral, and you were singing me:
already new skin was forming on me
within the luminous misty shroud
of my other body; already
there was dirt on my hands
and I was thirsty.
I could only see the outline
of your head and shoulders,
black against the cave mouth,
and so could not see your face
at all, when you turned
and called to me because you had
already lost me. The last
I saw of you was a dark oval.
Though I knew how this failure
would hurt you, I had to fold
like a gray moth and let go.
You could not believe I was
more than your echo.
