To the Sirens first shalt thou come, who beguile all men whosoever comes to them. Homer, The Odyssey, XII, 39-40
The American artist Charles Caryl Coleman (Fig. 1) celebrated his eighty-first birthday at Villa Narcissus, his home on the island of Capri, by dancing the tarantella. According to a witness, he was dressed "in his blue velvet dinner jacket with his snowy curls and beard shining in the candle-light ... his long thin legs flying." (1) Although nearly deaf and unable to see well, he continued to entertain visitors. D. H. Lawrence (1885-1930) was one of them, only eight days earlier. (2)
