Psyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss


"Oh foolish Psyche, is it thus you repay my love? After I disobeyed my mother's commands and made you my wife, will you think me a monster and cut off my head? But go; return to your sisters, whose advice you seem to think preferable to mine. I inflict no other punishment on you than to leave you for ever. Love cannot dwell with suspicion."

Stories of Gods and Heroes, Lucius Apuleius.
Sculpture by Antonio Canova ( Louvre )
