I'm reading a book called 'Mythology' and I came across this beautiful excerpt from one a poet (I forgot which one) and thought it was just BEAUTIFUL! Aphrodite said it to Adonis as he was dying...
"You die, O thrice desired,
And my desire has flown like a dream
Gone with you is the girdle of my beauty,
But I myself must live who am a goddess
And may not follow you.
Kiss me yet once again, the last, long kiss
Until I draw your soul within my lips
And drink down all your love"Isn't that beautiful!!

If only we could love like that, wouldn't the world be better for it? The mythological stores have always been a favorite of mine when they studied them in high school. Back then there were no movies, computers etc. The imaginations and beliefs were awesome.

I think it's sad that we didn't study them in our high school.
I agree their imaginations and beliefs were really awesome!
