The Story Of Narcissus and Echo
The son of God Narcissus was a very handsome man
but proud enough to turn away womans proposing him
he even turned away a woman nymph called Echo
who loved the Narcissus as much as she can
Echo though beautiful had a speech problem then
a curse for her big mouth , now she lay helpless
one day as Narcissus got lost in the woods
all she could is to repeat the words said to her when
ever he called out "Is anyone there?"
Echo used to reply "Here, Here".
upset of not being loved in return
Echo hid herself in a cave
with nothing left except her voice in
A Goddess maiden heard about this somehow
got angry and cursed him to fall in love
with himself - Narcissus
Even as Narcissus was admiring himself in a clear pond
Echo noticed that he fell in love with his reflection
As he vainly said to his face in water "I love you"
Echo replied from the cave and within "I love you"
with whispering thoughts of Narcissus
He stayed admiring himself
in the pond forever
till one day he died and grew as a flower
called Narcissus
Even now in the caves you can hear
Echo senselessly repeating the words of others
you can also feel her vibrations as you near
with echoing your voices further and further
