Guest guest Posted November 8, 2000 Report Share Posted November 8, 2000 Does it surprise you to find that the culmination of all existence is balanced on the wings of a butterfly? Such has always been the case. Mace Attachment: (image/jpeg) C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\nsmailKB.jpeg [not stored] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 8, 2000 Report Share Posted November 8, 2000 Mace and Wim, I was just uploading a mirror I did of Amor and Psyche from the sculpture at the Louvre. I think Antoine also has this same image on his site. Like bees that flock to the honey of the flowers of love on the morning dew ... visual delights (~*~) love leela playing in the garden Attachment: (application/applefile) ep.jpg [not stored] Attachment: (image/jpeg) ep.jpg [not stored] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psyche is an old Greek word for butterfly (as well as soul, as well as breath maybe even prana). Love, Wim PS. (From the Encyclopaedia Britannica). >>>> Psyche (Greek: "Soul"), in classical mythology, princess of outstanding beauty who aroused Venus' jealousy and Cupid's love. The fullest version of the tale is that told by the Latin author Apuleius in his Metamorphoses (The Golden Ass). According to Apuleius, the jealous Venus commanded her son Cupid (the god of love) to inspire Psyche with love for the most despicable of men. Instead, Cupid placed Psyche in a remote palace where he could visit her secretly and, by his warning, only in total darkness. One night Psyche lit a lamp and found that the figure at her side was the god of love himself. When a drop of oil from the lamp awakened him, he reproached Psyche and fled. Wandering the earth in search of him, Psyche fell into the hands of Venus, who imposed upon her difficult tasks. Finally, touched by Psyche's repentance, Cupid rescued her, and, at his instigation, Jupiter made her immortal and gave her in marriage to Cupid. The sources of the tale are a number of folk motifs; the handling by Apuleius, however, conveys an allegory of the progress of the Soul guided by Love, which adhered to Psyche in Renaissance literature and art. In Greek folklore the soul was pictured as a butterfly, which is another meaning of the word psyche. >>> Attachment: (image/jpeg) Amor or Cupid.jpg [not stored] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
