Pier Francesco Mola; Echo and Narcissus

After writing about echo poems and Narcissus flowers, well, this felt like a logical next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, pardon the formatting, I had a structure I wanted and this particular version of the blog just gets rid of multiple spaces which is… frustrating but I’m not fixing it right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Echo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Has greater beauty ever graced mortal eye?
I<\/em>
No man has matched my beauty, on either land or sea.
__See<\/em>
I look at my reflection for the best that man can view.
______You<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And yet I find it lonely, no one to hear my cry
I<\/em>
Am I all alone in how much that I love?
__Love<\/em>
I just wish for a partner, that doesn’t seem undue.
______You<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, am I alone? I cry out to the sky.
I<\/em>
Someone to share my beauty, that doesn’t seem amiss.
__Miss<\/em>
For why am I so handsome if no one can share it true?
______<\/em>You<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I shall be content with this visage that I see.
See<\/em>
For to tell the truth, there’s no partner to match me.
__Me<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Found this interesting modern take when looking for Echo and Narcissus pictures on Wikimedia:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
