| | ICARUS: art, poetry, mythology |
 | | His son, Icarus, was standing by and, little knowing that he was handling his own peril, with gleeful face would now catch at the feathers which some passing breeze had blown about, now mold the yellow wax with his thumb, and by his sport would hinder his father's wonderful task. |
 | | He taught his son also and said: "I warn you, Icarus, to fly in a middle course, lest, if you go too low, the water may weight your wings; if you go too high, the fire may burn them. |
 | | Icarus," he called again; and then he spied the wings floating on the deep, and cursed his skill. |
