Well, will you come to-morrow about eleven, and then afterwards we can come back here to criticise 'Hyacinthus'?" "Yes; I shall be delighted." "I think mama is going to take our carriage, so come in yours, will you?" "Very good," I answered, and there was a long silence. Not broken, in fact, until there was the stir of some of the guests leaving.
At that moment Hyacinthus ran forwards and hastened to take up the disc, but the hard earth sent it rebounding straight into his face, so that he fell wounded to the ground. Ah! then, pale and fearful, the sun-god hastened to the side of his fallen friend. He bore up the lad's sinking limbs and strove to stanch his wound with healing herbs. All in vain! Alas! the wound would not close.
Keats alludes to this in his "Endymion," where he describes the lookers-on at the game of quoits: "Or they might watch the quoit-pitchers, intent On either side, pitying the sad death Of Hyacinthus, when the cruel breath Of Zephyr slew him; Zephyr penitent, Who now ere Phoebus mounts the firmament, Fondles the flower amid the sobbing rain."
