And the fine warp of some vast fabric on it; We were attending her, and she said to us: Young men, my suitors, now my lord is dead, Let me finish my weaving before i marry, Or else my thread will have been spun in vain . So every day she wove on the great loom . But every night by torchlight she unwove it; And so for three years she deceived the akhaians. But when the seasons brought the fourth around, One of her maids, who knew the secret, told us; She had to finish it then, although she hated it. Penelope"s kleos: she makes a name for herself, but you can feel the loss it means for you. " (fitzgerald, p. 22)
