O que acontece

1. As the narrator records his grief, a dignified woman appears with blazing eyes, changing height, and an ancient, damaged robe.

3. She accuses the Muses of nourishing suffering and weakening reason, especially in someone educated in philosophy.
4. The Muses leave in shame after she orders them away and claims the patient for her own Muses.
5. Unable to recognize her through his tears, the narrator waits silently as she sits beside him and begins her lament.
