But this is what I could not give up: I could not give up myself Psyche has known Love—scented with jasmine and tasting of fresh oranges. Yet he is fleeting and fragile, lost to her too quickly.

1.0 Psyche in a Dress
I loved the idea of a new twist on Cupid and Psyche's story but this was just plain confusing. I don't know if Block's writing was just too complex for me or I just found several things too dark and disturbing(probably both).I had a hard time picturing out some events; I don't understand why the mai...
