Wondrous art! on the same day, he is mad Athamas and shrinking Ino; he is Atreus, and again he is Thyestes, and next Aegisthus or Aerope; all one man's work. Other entertainments of eye or ear are but manifestations of a single art: 'tis flute or lyre or song; 'tis moving tragedy or laughable comedy.
She was, at this moment, the universe to him; and all else the pursuers at his heels, his father, his sister, pretty Ino, to whom he had vowed his love only the night before had ceased to exist for him.
