Narcissus [song Reverie, Cloude Debussy]

When Narcissus was young, Liriope went to a seer named Tiresias to ask if her son would live a long life. Tiresias responded that Narcissus would live a long life as long as he never knew himself. Liriope was puzzled by this strange response, but time passed, and Narcissus became a young man. Narcissus was extremely good-looking. His beauty attracted all kinds of admirers, but Narcissus was not interested in any of them. One day, after hunting for some time, Narcissus lay beside a still pool of water. When he saw his own reflection, Narcissus fell deeply in love with himself. He tried to reach out and embrace the figure in the water, but he could not. He was so drawn to his image that he could not leave the water's edge. Eventually, Narcissus' love for his reflection caused him to weaken and die. When the nymphs came to bury him, his body transformed into a beautiful white daffodil flower which came to be known as the Narcissus.
