There was so much to love about the Cupid and Psyche story in the "The Golden Ass". The lines that touched me most were started on page 117. The paragraph begins with:"Psyche was terrified". The breathtaking part begins with,Cupid's divine beauty: his golden hair, washed in nectar and still scented with it, thick curls straying over white neck and flushed cheeks...Then, the best part, his wings! "At his shoulders grew soft wings of the purest white, and though they were at rest, the tender down fringing the feathers quivered naughtily all the time." Naughtliy, what a fantastic word!
