tereisias: think: all men make mistakes,
but a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong,
and repairs the evil. the only crime is pride.
give in to the dead man, then: do not fight with a corpse—
what glory is it to kill a man who is dead?
think, i beg you:
it is for your own good that i speak as i do.
you should be able to yield for your own good.
creon: it seems that prophets have made me their
especial province.
all my life long
i have been a kind of butt for the dull arrows
of doddering fortune tellers!
no, teiresias:
if your birds—if the great eagles of god himself
should carry him stinking bit by bit to heaven,
i would not yield. i am not afraid of pollution:
no man can defile the gods.
do what you will,
go into business, make money, speculate
in india gold or that synthetic gold from sardis,
get rich otherwise than by my consent to bury him.
teiresias, it is a sorry thing when a wise man
sells his wisdom, lets out his words for hire!
