lyrics

“The whirlpool of Charybdis, where the sea forever spouted and roared and the furious waves mounting up touched the very sky.”
– Edith Hamilton, Mythology

“An Aged boatman named Charon Ferries the souls of the
dead across the [river Styx] to the farther bank where stands the
adamantine gate of Tartarus. . . Charon will receive into his
boat only the souls of those upon whose lips the passage money
was placed when they died and who were duly buried.”
– Edith Hamilton, Mythology

“Music begins to atrophy when it departs too far from the dance;
. . . poetry begins to atrophy when it gets too far from the music.”
– Ezra Pound, ABC of Reading
