Leave me to my own absurdity.

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

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

There was the girl, screaming like an angry bird,
When it finds its nest left empt and little ones gone." - Sentry
