Welcome to Pan


by Edward Burne-Jones


Psyche the Soul is emerging from the waters of truth
and is immediately met by another danger. Not Cupid this time but by Pan.
As you can see, he is part Soul and part animal.
This is the moment, when he sees for the first time, the beauty of another Soul.
He tenderly touches her hair.
Now look into his eyes.
Will the Soul or the beast of him claim her?
An interesting question.
Because at the level of man, this question will often arise
and the more Psyche is available, the bigger the question.
Cupid is for beginners.
