Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pan´s Prophecy Needless it is, or should be, to tell how Psyche grew up more beautiful than Aphrodite; who, being wrought to jealousy, sent forth her son, Love, that he might kindle the girl´s heart with unnatural passion for some base object: and how he himself was smitten, and in order to fulfil his desire delivered deceitful oracles to the king, her father; so that he had her exposed upon a funeral pile in a desert mountain place, there to await fire from heaven. Yet thence she was by Zephyr conveyed to Love´s own Palace, where for a time she dwelt ignorantly happy; since Love availed himself of the night that she might not know her lord, and bade invisible ministrants attend on her by day. Nathless erelong her elder sisters discovered her retreat and, moved by envy, poisoned her mind with monstrous suspicion, so that she thought it possible that not a god but a frightful dragon frequented her bed. Then, disobeying her lord´s most express injunction, she, when he was asleep, took a lamp, viewed him and, trying his arrows´ sharpness on her thumb, started to see blood; when burning oil from the shaken lamp was spilled upon the delicious and slumbering divinity which but three seconds before had been revealed to her eyes.
