Burlesques

CHAPTER
4/14

He has his Mother's ravishing smile; his Father's steadfast eyes.

He rises every day, fresh and glorious as the untired Sun-God.

He is Eros, the ever young.

Dark, dark were this world of ours had either Divinity left it--dark without the day-beams of the Latonian Charioteer, darker yet without the daedal Smile of the God of the Other Bow! Dost know him, reader?
Old is he, Eros, the ever young.

He and Time were children together.
Chronos shall die, too; but Love is imperishable.
