Robert Kelly in relation to Orpheus

FIRST NOETIC HYMN
to Nous

Let them love me
for what you make me say.
For I was Orpheus
and you are.

There is a mind
beyond my mind
and all I do is shape
what it comes

through me to become.
Or I became.

The Greeks said autos,
allos, self and other—
I am (you make me be)
the opposite of autistic,

I am allistic,
your voice in my mouth.

all I care for
is what you feel
(you make me feel).
