"MARSYAS: Beware!
Easily trips the big word "dare."
Each man's an Œdipus, that thinks
He hath the four powers of the Sphinx,
Will, Courage, Knowledge, Silence. Son,
Even the adepts scarce win to one!
The Thoughts — they fall like rotten fruits.
But to destroy the power that makes
These thoughts — thy Self? A man it takes
To tear his soul up by the roots!
This is the mandrake fable, boy!"
