"Self," I Said...

ॐ Madelyn Grace --------------------------------------------------------- Timshel. “...the word timshel—‘Thou mayest’— that gives a choice. It might be the most important word in the world. That says the way is open. That throws it right back on a man. For if ‘Thou mayest’—it is also true that ‘Thou mayest not.’ Don’t you see?” -East of Eden, John Steinbeck

Faraglioni, the famous rocks off the coast of Capri—said to be the natural habitat of the Sirens that Homer mentioned when he wrote The Odyssey.  Ulysses knew that he couldn’t stop even his most stoic sailors from succumbing to the luring song of the sirens. As the ships sailed by, he ordered his sailors to fill their ears with wax as to not hear the seducing songs. Ulysses himself, however, wanted to hear the sirens’ beautiful voices so he tied himself to the ships mast so that he couldn’t escape.  Roman writers also suggest that the Sirens are daughters of Phorcys, the God of the Sea. They sang sad & sweet songs to lure in sailors—but always with a fatal ending. (at Faraglioni - Capri)
