If the statesman had this knowledge, and could teach what he knew, he would be like
Tiresias in the world below,--'he alone has wisdom, but the rest flit like shadows.
Yet not the more Cease I to wander where the Muses haunt Cleer Spring, or shadie Grove, or Sunnie Hill, Smit with the love of sacred song; but chief Thee SION and the flowrie Brooks beneath That wash thy hallowd feet, and warbling flow, Nightly I visit: nor somtimes forget Those other two equal'd with me in Fate, So were I equal'd with them in renown, Blind THAMYRIS and blind MAEONIDES, And
TIRESIAS and PHINEUS Prophets old.
Prefiero recordar al inmenso Miguel Inclan, adivino ciego, y a su tambor despanzurrado, sin duda, porque este
Tiresias es hermoso, en tanto que el destino del heroe es tragico (el nino campesino, el Ojitos, es una claudicacion en el cuadro, un fantasma romantico e hiperbolico, un ente divino entre los enanos de Velazquez).
Con esta ubicacion se puede entender de manera mas clara la diferencia con la peripecia aristotelica: mientras en Aristoteles el cambio en la accion se puede denominar como inminente (razon por la cual, en Poetica XI, 1452a, Aristoteles situa la peripecia de Edipo rey en la llegada del mensaj ero corintio), la ubicacion de la cesura en la intervencion de

Tiresias and his claim that women experience greater pleasure in sex than men.
Further still, Walter explains that Eliot's brand of impersonality highlights "universal embodiment" all the while "preserving gender difference," as seen in his gendered narration of Tire Waste Land', the narrator,
Tiresias, takes on both the female and male genders at different points in the poem, but rather than retaining both genders in "the same impersonal guide,"

Tiresias is a survivor's opera, buoyant in its surreal farce, written in the aftermath of Paris's liberation from Nazi rule, the work of a man whose "survival" had been, by wartime standards, fairly comfy and urbane; Der Kaiser von Atlantis is the product of a man on borrowed time, darker and more biting, composed at the euphemistically dubbed "model settlement" of Theresienstadt the year before he was sent to his death at Auschwitz.
