Tiresias to Odysseus in Hades: “Your Death Will Come from the Sea"

 

In those revenant reveries

and so defying the lethargy of endings,

many come and enter—

though only briefly,

dipping no more than lightly

into those coral eyes,

they would suddenly turn

into drifting sailors

 

launched on the boundlessness

of everlasting seas

where all are bound to sink--

 

so much more potent is

that pristine light

than a touch of Styx.
