But suddenly, ( 43 ) MARSYAS As one who in the full, free glow of health Perceives a fever-venom in his veins, He felt the fire of that too perfect song Scorching his very soul. He snatched the reed, Snapped it and flung it in the tangled grass, And, tortured, cried, "Woe me, these notes of mine, Are to Apollo s song mere infant wails In the vast concord of the choiring worlds.
Though well I know my song might be as his Could I unmute my soul, brushing aside These mufflings of inexorable flesh ...!
Alas, man s art is but a bruised reed Hid in the towering forests of the gods, Fit only to be snapped and flung aside And perish in the splendor of the sun!" With a despairing cry he started up, And wandered forth into the gathering gloom.
His spirit tense as lute-strings tightly drawn That make a mournful music in the wind Flayed by the keen, flame-edge of his ideal, And joyless as the woods before the dawn.
( 44 ) MARSYAS A sudden light, and Marsyas was aware Close by him of the presence he had shunned.
