Leafing through the pages, he found a story about Narcissus.</p> <p>The alchemist knew the legend of Narcissus, a youth who daily knelt beside a lake to contemplate his own beauty.</p> <p>He was so fascinated by himself that, one morning, he fell into the lake and drowned. At the spot where he fell, a flower was born, which was called the narcissus.</p> <p>But this was not how the author of the book ended the story.</p> <p>He said that when Narcissus died, the Goddesses of the Forest appeared and found the lake, which had been fresh water, transformed into a lake of salty tears.</p> <p>“Why do you weep?” the Goddesses asked.</p> <p>“I weep for Narcissus,” the lake replied.</p> <p>“Ah, it is no surprise that you weep for Narcissus,” they said, “for though we always pursued him in the forest, you alone could contemplate his beauty close at hand.”</p> <p>“But… was Narcissus beautiful?” the lake asked.</p> <p>“Who better than you to know that?” the Goddesses said in wonder, “After all, it was by your banks that he knelt each day to contemplate himself!!”</p> <p>The lake was silent for some time.</p> <p>Finally it said:</p> <p>“I weep for Narcissus, but I never noticed that Narcissus was beautiful. I weep because, each time he knelt beside my banks, I could see, in the depths of his eyes, my own beauty reflected.”</p> <p>“What a lovely story,” the Alchemist thought.</p>”<br/><br/> - <em>The Alchemist</em>http://nikolinavictoria.tumblr.com/post/1663622412http://nikolinavictoria.tumblr.com/post/1663622412Tue, 23 Nov 2010 19:22:00 -0500xrealxmex: I think you and Zach would have awesome babies<br /> xrealxmex: I want one of those<br /> xrealxmex: blue or green eyes<br /> xrealxmex: i'd be so happy<br /> xrealxmex: it better be a boy tho<br /> <br /> xrealxmex: what am i rly good at?<br /> nicotineice: seducing me<br /> nicotineice: and my boishttp://nikolinavictoria.tumblr.com/post/1649718723http://nikolinavictoria.tumblr.com/post/1649718723Mon, 22 Nov 2010 13:27:22 -0500Me: I'm on a boat bitch!<br /> M.A: Lucky you<br /> M.A: I'm only in a hot air balloon<br /> Me: Scaryyy<br /> M.A: Its soooo awesome when u lean over the side and look alllll the wayy downnn u see what appears to be an ant.
