Notes:
(1) It all feels very Aesop, old animal fables,
wherein pride is a sin and delusions disabled.
- Very Icarus too, too close to the sun,
forgetting mortality: fallen/undone.
(2) There's also a theme of the weakest of souls
inducing collapse of imperious goals.
- Whether the cleverest worm making foolishness sting,
or the lowest of turtles who can humble a king.
