From the full gaze of Knowledge.”
—Lewis Morris.
Psyche promised to respect his wishes and when the first faint streak of dawn appeared he bade her farewell to return at night.
“Now on broad pinions from the realms above
Descending, Cupid seeks the Cyprian grove;
To his wide arms enamoured Psyche springs
And clasps her lover with aurelian wings.
A purple sash across his shoulder bends
And fringed with gold his quivered shaft suspends.”
—Darwin.
