From Hippolytus, by Euripides, translated by David Grene
NOT TOO
"We should not in the conduct of our lives
be too exacting. Look, see this roof here --
these overarching beams that span your house --
could builders with all their skill lay them dead straight?
You've fallen into the great sea of love
and with your puny swimming would escape!"
From Scene One, Nurse
