The goddesses, flushed so wantonly in all their amorous histories, I now saw chaste of hue, downcast, and modest- pale. Their lovers, self -professed and known to be obedient only to divine solicitations, I knew for tricksters, hypocrites, and cheats. Father Anchises, reverend patriarch! He had been frisking with some rustic in a daisy-field, not led by any Queen of Love to meadows set with asphodel. Endymion, that shy, gauche youth who drooped before the moon's advance. He had slept snug benea...th some cottage roof, not out upon a dewy hillside where Artemis had held him captive by her beams. And I by right of my humiliation now stood firm with Venus and with Artemis, those innocent celestials. Of such stuff as theirs, at least, was my last legend made.
