40-minute exercise with model.
Atlantis sank beneath the sea when a well-meaning man made yet another thunderous blunder . . . ? No, that happens all the time, sad to say. (The Kardios/Wellman conceit, for those who know.) I wonder what Virgil would have said about Atlantis and the perils of burning desire, what Homer would have said about the pitfalls of pride and Atlantis' final days. I can guess what Archilochos and Sappho would have said, yet I still wish we had such utterances--in the most embracing poetics--here to read. I'd learn Greek to do so, I think. Odd thoughts after a long and hot day.
