THE END OF THE MYSTERIES

When Alaric and his hordes invaded Attica descending from the North, the Oracle of Delphi issued a prophecy of things to come:

ISOLDE                                     -THE ONE  OF ANTONY-

SPEAKS            TO US             AND

STICKS

HER NAKED LEG

ON THE BALCONY.

AND IT IS THERE                           – AT BALCONY NEXT –

WHERE

SEAMSTRESSES          AND       NUDE IN KIMONO S

CROUCHING,                               ARE SEWING

AND SHE

SPEAKS TO THEM

BREATHING HEAVILY,               IN R.E.M.

“THE EMBERS                               – JUST LIKE THEN –

SINCE  THEY GET WET,             THEY

STOP   SMOULDERING.

END.

BUΟNA NOTTE! / AUF WIEDERSEHEN!

On 28 April 396 A.D., the Mysteries of Eleusis were silenced…

Centuries would pass, in the wait for travellers.
