Endymion was an indolent young shepherd of exceptional beauty.
As he lay sleeping on Mount Latmos, the moon goddess Selene was enchanted by his graceful appearance and instantly fell in love with him.
When the Olympian gods discovered her secret, Zeus offered Endymion perpetual youth on the condition that he remain asleep forever.
Eternally young, forever beautiful, and adored by the foolish moon above, Endymion sleeps on.

Or Narcissus, entranced by his own reflection in the media. Good on 'im, I say. I like the guy.
ReplyDeleteBTW, that photo's a bit creepy.
Narcissus is more appropriate.
DeleteNothing wrong with that, of course.
Aren't we all... a bit?
Why do you think it's creepy?
ReplyDeleteI thought it was sweet.
Looks like some stranger caught him on a train asleep and took a photo of him covertly...or maybe I'm completely misreading this.
ReplyDeleteDoes he know the guy? Either way, it is sweet I guess. He's just as cute asleep.
It's a friend who took the photo and posted it - note school ties...
DeleteAh! I stand corrected.
ReplyDeleteHere he is, if you want to stalk him... http://instagr.am/p/SBesbcLsUl/
ReplyDeleteLove the story and the analogy even if I still think you're chasing rainbows.
ReplyDeleteWe can but dream.
