hung up to dry

“embodied”

When Icarus flew too close to the sun, he crashed and burned.

Described in paint and stone, icons of antiquity are of dual interest. They are physically perfect, yet never fail to allow their very human souls to lead them down the primrose path toward death, destruction, or at the very least eternal misery.

Lessons in futility can be discouraging, but maybe with some luck a person can learn to quit making the same mistakes over and over. Or not.
