Daedalus in his heart wept
While far below plunged Icarus
A father's words unheeded
Both sun and sea corrupted
Wax melting,feathers heavy with spray
What a poor fisherman witnessed
Uncomprehendingly
Youth's folly to ignore a wise head.
The artificer flew on,joyful to have left his labyrinth
Broken to see his son die.
That spot would forever be called the Icarian Sea
The hideous blot of a dark memory.
