Calypso+2



So, Hermes, You tell me Odysseus has passed on? I wonder if Penelope has departed as well, Only to be reunited with the man who loved her Not with all of his heart, But with enough. I may be immortal, but when Odysseus sailed to her, Sailed away from this joyless paradise, Part of me died. If only that was a path I could take! I could never explain to Odysseus, Long ago when I still felt as young as I will always appear, What it is like to know your heartbreaks will last forever. Mortals know nothing of sorrow! Eventually, every one leaves his sadness behind in death. But we immortals will never know that release. With eternal life comes eternal suffering. Forever is too long; I feel old.
