I remember when I was a teen-ager in awe before the beauty of another boy, I'd always have this odd (but not so odd) thought: "Does he know himself how beautiful he is?" The meaning of that interrogation was that if he knew, then he'd understand why I admired him, and would accept my tribute. Since it would mean that although he is a boy, he could see the beauty of a boy, since he could see his own beauty.rahmanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023838123719527455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13815870.post-86643794351088871932008-01-07T00:30:00.000+01:002008-01-07T00:30:00.000+01:00More!

Thank so much!!!<BR/><BR/>In the original tale of Narcissus, there is no heterosexual leanings. My understanding is that the "straight" context came into existence with a Roman writer. Recently discovered material predates this Roman and puts Narcissus back into its gay telling.BronzeBuckaroohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12536210616142873792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13815870.post-35559702584762189492008-01-02T23:21:00.000+01:002008-01-02T23:21:00.000+01:00Gug, Orokie's words coming soon.
