I seek you out, but you hear not,
Unknowing that you are the charioteer
Of my soul.”

“We praise thee auspicious Cicada...
Old age does not oppress thee O good little animal,
sprung from the bosom of the earth, loving song, free from suffering, that hast neither blood nor flesh—
What is there prevents thee from being a god?”
