> end of scene 1 "Ode to Man" by Sophocles "Many terribly quiet customers exist but none more terribly quiet than Man: his footsteps pass so perilously soft across the sea in marble winter, up the stiff blue waves and every Tuesday down he grinds the unastonishable earth with horse and shatter. Shatters too the cheeks of birds and traps them in his forest headlights, salty silvers roll into his net, he weaves it just for that, this terribly quiet customer. He dooms animals and mountains technically, by yoke he makes the bull bend, the horse to its knees. And utterance and thought as clear as complicated air and moods that make a city moral, these he taught himself. The snowy cold he knows to flee and every human exigency crackles as he plugs it in: every outlet works but one. Death stays dark. Death he cannot doom. Fabrications notwithstanding. Evil, good, laws, gods, honest oath taking notwithstanding. Paraphrase sentence by sentence. Many extremely quiet beings exist, but none are as quiet as Man. He walks so silently, even on the frozen sea, and every Tuesday he works the unimpressed earth with his horse and plow. He also disturbs the peace of birds and captures them in his headlights, catching fish with his net specially crafted for that purpose. This quiet being has the power to control animals and mountains, making the bull bow and the horse kneel under his yoke so he can be of authority. He taught himself to speak and think clearly, like the complicated air, and he instills moral values in the city with his moods. He knows how to escape the cold, but one thing remains unsolved: the mystery of death. He cannot control death, despite his efforts. This remains true despite his attempts to manipulate evil, goodness, laws, you Hilarious in his high city you see him cantering just as he please, the lava up to here. -Translated and interpreted by Anne Carson don't freeze to death you survive gods, and honest oaths. "I have of late-but wherefore I know not-lost all my mirth, forgone all custom of exercises, and indeed it goes so heavily with my disposition that this goodly frame, the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory; this most excellent canopy, the air-look you, this brave o'erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire-why, it appears no other thing to me than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapors. What a piece of work is a man! How noble in reason, how infinite in faculty! In form and moving how express and admirable! In action how like an angel, in You can see him laughing in his grand city, riding as he pleases, without a care in the world, with the lava rising around him. Recently, for reasons unknown to me, I've lost all joy, stopped my usual activities, and feel burdened by life. The world seems bleak and unpleasant to me, despite its beauty. What is a man? He possesses great reasoning and intelligence, resembling both an angel and a god. Yet, to me, he is nothing more than a small speck of dust, and I find no joy in him./nDirections: X if present, highlight what is missing or needs work Intro.
