For Your Elucidation and Enlightenment

In a desperate attempt to rectify all of the ignorance about everything that I seem to find myself possessing, I have been reading Ovid. Well, Ted Hughes Tales From Ovid to be more precise, as I have started a reading list based from Michael Dirda's Bound To Please. Here is part of the story of Echo, because it is harsh and beautiful and made me pause. Everyone could use a pause in their day. Enjoy.

( Echo )

The last two lines are heartbreakingly beautiful to me. I love Ted Hughes' aesthetics.
