6564 - The criticism of the first patrician

N. Lygeros
Translation: Paola Vagioni

“He loved Drusilla, this is understood.
But she was his sister, in short.
Sleeping with her, was already too much.
But to turn Rome upside down
because she is dead,
this surpasses the limits.”

With his criticism,
the first patrician
tries to negate
an unbearable act :
Drusilla is dead.
And this is in itself a cause
to initiate reasoning
and realize the absurd.
Afterwards everything can be allowed
since nothing has meaning anymore.
How therefore not to grasp
the error of the patrician
in the quest of a dead happiness?
