Let me tell you a story… 05-12-17 |
Apollo and Cupid had a disagreement 05-12-17 |
Cupid was the more cunning archer and caused Apollo to pursue the beautiful nymph Daphne who was equally opposed to his determined ardor. 05-12-17 |
Apollo finally catches Daphne but she escapes by appealing to her father who transforms her into a laurel tree. Apollo still thinks he's pretty hot stuff. Men! 05-13-17 |
But in quiet moments, surrounded by the settled knowledge that he cannot have what he most desires, Apollo loves and helps other creatures 05-14-17a |
And he accompanies the solitary musician in her room where it's always a golden afternoon (inspired by "Il Cembalo di Partenope") 05-15-17a |
