    **39. Then the dolphin delighted therein, and put off his body, and became a bird.
    40. The harper also laid aside his harp, and played infinite tunes upon the Pan-pipe

      Here begins a passage that is a fuck to memorize and really easy to screw up. Which probably means I should give it more attention... Though I can't see past the prophet's commentary.

        The dolphin, a figure of Water(?), the triggers a transformation preceded by delight, and transforms into a creature of the Air(?). At our own Will and delight we may transform our forms as needed?

        From the calming and mystical feel of the harp to the ecstatic and unconditioned Pan-Pipe. Forests and Satyrs. There are question marks because I'm not sure of the symbolism and I don't think I have to be. The dolphin keeps swimming, the bird keeps flying, the harper keeps playing, and I keep going (at least for now 👿 ).
