"You're a real friend, Cupido!... Thank you, thank you, ever and ever so much. This is one of the favors we never forget.... But who has come along with you?..." The barber was already fastening the boat to the iron railing. "It's don Rafael Brull," he answered slowly. "A gentleman you have met already, I believe. You must thank him for this visit.

Catullus says, "Mulier cupido quod dicit amanti, in vento " What a memory mine is! However, the passage is, that a woman's words to a lover are as a matter of course written only on wind and water. Now don't be troubled about that, Elfride. 'Ah, you don't know! They had been standing on the lawn, and Knight was now seen lingering some way down a winding walk.

"Now, Cupido; off with those wet things of yours; you're not going to catch pneumonia on my account, and thus deprive the city of its one bright spot. Here's something to put on while we are drying your clothes." And she offered the barber a magnificent gown of blue velvet, with veritable cascades of lace at the breast and on the sleeves.

Quare cum animum Euangelica lectione rite instituisset, transtulit sua studia ad rem Medicam, artem imprimis liberali ingenio dignam. Sed inter alia, ingens quaedam cupido videndi Africam, et Asiam, vastioris orbis partes, eius animum inuaserat.

She made fun of the city, lived outside its circle of influence, in the open country; she would not meet the town halfway, and the town would not go to her. How get to know her better, then?... Rafael was tempted as he walked aimlessly about the streets, to look up the barber Cupido in his shop that very afternoon. That merry rogue was the only person in all Alcira who entered her house.

He has never forgiven me for" omitting to cite him, &c. "Old Fleuri, when Maupertuis called to take leave, repeated that verse of Virgil, NEC TIBI REGNANDI VENIAT TAM DIRA CUPIDO. Fleuri might have whispered as much to himself: but he was a mild sovereign lord, and reigned in a gentle polite manner.

And she told Cupido to have the station-agent get a move on and send what was still missing the heavier luggage boxes and boxes that come from way off somewhere the other end of the world, and that cost a fortune just to ship.... There you are!... And why not? The way she earned it!"

Finally, the Aetna is by a student of Epicurean philosophy largely influenced by Lucretius. It would be difficult to make a stronger case short of a contemporaneous attribution. Quare quae cantus meditanti mittere caecos Magna mihi cupido tribuistis praemia divae. What other poem could he have had in mind?

The panelling was of Italian intarsia work inlaid with a renaissance design portraying the tale of Cupid and Psyche; on the final panel Jupiter was handing the cup of ambrosia to Psyche with the words, 'Sume, Psyche, et immortalis esto, nec unquam digridietur a tuo nexu Cupido, sed istae vobis erunt perpetuae nuptiae'; the floor was formed of parquetry, and the rugs above were of fine Persian workmanship.

It is more probable that the females are excited, either before or after the conflict, by certain males, and thus unconsciously prefer them. I shall have to recur to this subject, but I may here add that with the Tetrao cupido of the United States, about a score of males assemble at a particular spot, and, strutting about, make the whole air resound with their extraordinary noises.
