Tell Me, Muse

Tell Me, Muse

Would you favor, The Fool folly,
Signifies a sign of wisdom

Or

Would you rather prefer, Prometheus,
Returning with the stolen fire

Tell Me, Muse

Which man would you take?
The Fool offers peace
Prometheus offers the warmth of the fire
Which person would you hire?

Tell Me, Muse

What offering should I choose?
Wisdom or fire
A magician or a Muse
Which man, shall I desire?

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
