Click to read 'The Story of Icarus and Daedalus," by Ovid and "Musée des
Beaux Arts," by W. H. Auden. Then answer the question.
Which line(s) from the poem parallel(s) this portion of Ovid's myth?
The two flew over the islands of Samos, Delos, and
Lebynthos, and the boy Icarus, thrilled with the limitless
power of flight, began to soar higher than his father,
soaring upward as if to reach heaven. As Daedalus had
predicted, the blazing sun softened the wax which held the
feathers together, and they began to come off, falling
through the air toward the sea. Icarus fluttered his arms,
but the wings had come apart and his cries to Daedalus
were lost as he fell into the deep blue waters of the sea.
His father cried, "Icarus, Icarus, where are you?" At last he
saw the feathers floating on the water. "Ill-fated arts!" he
lamented, wishing he had never possessed the skill to
allow them to fly. He named the land Icaria, after his son,
and offered his wings to the god Apollo.
