| The collapse of mythic past and future is self-evident here, with the update of the classic fairy tale anacrusis preparing the listener for a story of "sleeping beauties" and "secrets of the pyramids" side by side with "afronauts" and cloning. and sometimes, in fact quite often, even prolonging the anacrusis as against the subsequent text. Edward's final, truthful, answer, "O, I have killed my father dear," explodes at the end of the third stanza of the poem and in the music at the anacrusis to measure 44. |
