528 - The ocean of the moment

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Angeliki Papadopoulou, Evi Charitidou

Goddess: When will the semi-god come?
Chiron: Yesterday! (Time) His feet touched Pelion.
Goddess: His feet… (Silence) And his heels…
Chiron: Silence…
Goddess: I will not tell the secret…
Chiron: The stigma of humaneness is not burnt.
Goddess: Then he will live to die…
Chiron: One single lesson…
Goddess: One single mistake…
Chiron: All into one!
Goddess: What can your wisdom teach him?
Chiron: Whatever he cannot learn from his rage: how to live the last days of immortality.
Goddess: But he is so young…
Chiron: But he is so old…
Goddess: How can he be both?
Chiron: The child that does not touch breasts grows up…
Goddess: (silently) Achilles…
Chiron: When you live so close to death, life…
Goddess: What life? (Time) The moment!
Chiron: So every moment is life!
Goddess: Who wants to live for a moment?
Chiron: Every human…
Goddess: Every mortal!
Chiron: Everyone if it is the last one!
