this is a lovely

Endimione dormiente - The Sleeping Endymion and his Dog, by Antonio Canova

 

[Orchidea73]

In Greek mythology Endymion was a young and beautiful shepherd from Asia Minor (his identity vary) with whom the Moon goddess Selene fell madly in love, so much so that she asked Zeus to grant him eternal life, so that she could love him forever. Zeus then fulfilled her wish by plunging Endymion into perpetual sleep and youth; every night Selene came down from the sky to visit him, where he continued to sleep.

Some art just grabs me
And holds me in its arms as
The streams flow onwards
