““TELL US WHAT IT’S LIKE TO LOVE A GOD.” Pallas: it is as exhilarating as battle. but instead of swords clashing, it’s tongues and bodies. it is gaining ground and losing it. it is victory and surrender. it’s like being stunned by lightning and a sword rip through your heart. but by then, you already taste the iron in your mouth. Icarus: it is freeing. you feel as though the world falls away from your feet and your head is in the clouds. you just think ‘I need more’ because it feels like the sun itself is caressing you. but by then, the warmth is starting to burn and then the bitterness in your throat isn’t just regret. Orion: it is wild. you track and pursue and the chase takes your breath away. your heart is racing in your chest and you need to know the precise moment to strike. but by then, the sting you feel is not Eros’ arrow and the blood coursing through your veins is poison. Hyacinthus: it is a game. remember that it’s all about the timing. it is giving and receiving at exactly the right moment. it is looking the possibility divine bliss and divine wrath right in the face. but by then, you’re forced to blink and it’s not their beauty that stuns you.”
— THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ECSTASY AND TRAGEDY WHEN LOVING A GOD
