What if mirrors didn t exist? Because if there were no mirrors, you would only see yourself exactly the way you see it in your head. Beautiful, confident, powerful. You really are! So flooring!
Narcissus stares at his reflection, while his rejected suitor, Echo, looks on. The son of the river god Cephissus and the naiad, or nymph, Liriope, it was said that Narcissus would live to old age, if he never looked at himself. He had gained many female admirers, entranced by his beauty, but he rejected them all. One of them, Echo, was so upset by his rejection that she withdrew from the world to waste away. All that was left of her was a whisper. It was heard by the goddess Nemesis, who, in response, made Narcissus fall in love with his own reflection, at which he stared until he died. A narcissus flowered in his absence.
There is always reflective water... And my kettle, that's shiny too : D
