Can someone explain what Claudel means here?

I believe is a reference to Icarus who flew too close to the sun and fell into the ocean and drowned. He lost his power of flight but fell well.
see paragraph 4 of this link http://www.rorymaclean.com/fall...roduction.html

In other words: an expression of resignation mixed with sarcasm. ?
