Leave me to my own absurdity.

May the dead forgive me, I can do no other
But as I am commanded; to do more is madness." - Ismene, Antigone (The Theban Plays) by Sophocles

May the dead forgive me, I can do no other
But as I am commanded; to do more is madness." - Ismene

The dead alone can feel no touch of spite.

It is my nature to join in love, not hate.

In his den the monster keep, Giver of eternal sleep.
