The Oedipus Cycle, by Sophocles, English versions by Dudley Fitts and Robert Fitzgerald – 1969 (1939) [Enrico Arno]

And, when your years of kingship are remembered,
Let them not say We Rose, but later fell –
Keep the State from going down in the storm!
(Prologue: Priest – p 5)

See, how our lives like birds take wing,
Like sparks that fly when a fire soars,
To the shore of the god of the evening.
(Parodos: Chorus – Strophe 2 – p 11)

You call me unfeeling.  If you could only see
The nature of your own feelings…
(Scene I: Teiresias – 17)

The greatest griefs are those we cause ourselves.
(Exodus: Second Messenger – 65)
