Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eros and Psyche Eros & Psyche March I In midmost length of hundred-citied Crete, The land that cradl'd Zeus, of old renown, Where grave Demeter nurseried her wheat, And Minos fashion'd law, ere he went down To judge the quaking hordes of Hell's domain, There dwelt a King on the Omphalian plain Eastward of Ida, in a little town. 2 Three daughters had this King, of whom my tale Time hath preserved, that loveth to despise The wealth which men misdeem of much avail, Their glories for themselves that they devise; For clerkly is he, old hard-featured Time, And poets' fabl'd song, and lovers' rhyme He storeth on his shelves to please his eyes.

The T lzeogony of Hesiod tells of the origin of the gods and invests them with definite shape; Homer introduces them as actors in his grand epics; but the popular tale of Eros and Psyche reflects the sentiment with which the gods were regarded, and describes the attitude of man toward the problems of life, especially that problem of problems - the mystery of death and the fate of the soul in the unknown be yond.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Eros and Psyche (Retold From Apuleius): Together With Some Early Verses Tho' the story of Eros and Psyche is alluded to by various earlier writers, our only source for its details is, I believe, in that animated and amusing romance, the Golden Ass of Apuleius; where it occurs as an Episode, and where it is told at considerable length and with elaboration. Apuleius was a Roman Citizen of Madaura in N. Africa, and was born about t3o a.d. He inherited a large sum of money from his father, and after spending much of it in extensive travels, settled down ultimately to a literary life at Carthage, where he was held in great honor. He had an inquiring adventurous turn of mind and character, uniting a thorough enjoyment of life with a tendency to mysticism and oriental speculation (the theosophy of the time), which shows itself in his works. He is said to have been initiated in the mysteries of various religious fraternities. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Cupid Psyche To Psyche O Goddess! hear these tuneless numbers, wrung By sweet enforcement and remembrance dear, And pardon that thy secrets should be sung, Even in thine own soft-conched ear: Surely I dreamt to-day, or did I see The winged Psyche with awaken'd eyes? I wandered in a forest thoughtlessly, And, on a sudden, fainting with surprise, Saw two fair creatures, couched side by side In deepest grass, beneath the whispering roof Of leaves and trembled blossoms, where there ran A brooklet, scarce espied: 'Mid hush'd, cool-rooted flowers fragrant-eyed, Blue, silver-white, and budded Tyrian, They lay calm-breathing on the bedded grass; Their arms embraced, and their pinions too; Their lips touch'd not, but had not bade adieu As if disjoined by soft-handed slumber, And ready still past kisses to outnumber At tender eye-dawn of aurorean love: The winged boy I knew; But who wast thou, O happy happy dove? His Psyche true! O latest-born and lovliest vision far Of all Olympus' faded hierarchy!

JANUARY i BUT Eros now recover'd from his hurt, Felt other pangs; for who would not relent Weighing the small crime and unmatch'd desert Of Psyche with her cruel punishment i And shamed he grew to be so near allied To her, who by her taunts awoke his pride, As his compassion by her spite unspent. 2 Which Aphrodite seeing, wax'd more firm That he should never meet with Psyche more; And had in thought already set the term To their communion with that trial sore, Which serft her forth upon a quest accurst, And not to be accomplisht, that of thirst She there might perish on hell's torrid shore. 3 And now it chanced that she had called her son Into her presence-chamber, to unfold Psyche's destruction, that her fate might stun What love remained by duty uncontrol'd; And he to hide his tears' rebellious storm Was fled; when in his place another form Rose 'neath the golden lintel; and behold 4 Psyche herself, in slow and balanced strain, Poising the crystal bowl with fearful heed, Her eyes at watch upon the steadied plane, And whole soul gathered in the single deed. Onward she came, and stooping to the floor Set down the cup unspill'd and brimming o'er At Aphrodite's feet, and rose up freed. 5 Surprise o'ercame the goddess, and she too Stood like a statue, but with passion pale: Till, when her vidtim nothing spake, she threw Some kindness in her voice, and bade her hail; But in the smiling judge 'twas plain to see-- Saying "What water bringst thou here to me ?"-- That justice over hate should not prevail. 6 Then Psyche said "This is the biting flood Of black Cocytus, silver'd with the gleam Of souls, that guilty of another's blood Are pent therein, and as they swim they scream. The horned snakes of hell, upon the mount Enchain'd, for ever guard...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Psyche and Eros, Vol. 1: An International Bi-Monthly Journal of Psychoanalysis, Psychotherapeutics and Applied Psychology; Sept.-Oct., 1920 The very simple idea of considering dreams as the manifestation of psychic fatigue is an excellent one - one which seems self-evident once it has been pro pounded. But it appears to us that the author takes up an untenable position when he seeks to interpret this fatigue as a fatigue of afiectivity. The paradox is brilliantly carried off, but - it remains a paradox. Would it not be simpler to hold that that which is fatigued is efiort? The absence of effort, it would seem, quite satisfactorily explains the mental transformations presented by dreams. Voluntary attentiori is wanting in dreams, and as a consequence all rational activity (of which attention is the primary condition) is likewise wanting. It is the common experience that it is efiort that is subject to fatigue. Particularly is it not evident why affectivity should be more subject to fatigue than ideational activity. It may be that there is no respite for the affective life throughout the day; but it is certainly more evident that sensational life is just as constantly active, and it would be just as possible to hold that It is the sensory function which is subject to fatigue - that sleep seals our senses.

The orthodox Greek religion consisted in the performance of certain rites, which were administered by the priests in the name of the state for the public benefit. Neither faith nor morality was required; the sole thing of importance was to accord to the gods their due, according to established tradition, and thus to fulfil the duties men owe to the invisible powers, upon whose beneficence their welfare depends.
