Where else would Narcissus rather be, other than perhaps regarding its own reflection over a pool of water? That would make for wet roots and rotten bulbs, however, so the placement of the legendary flower is suspect to me. Current readings of what make up a narcissist would place them more aptly in a pool of sunlight, where they could shine and astound and receive all the notice and glory attributed to their desire. Traditional readings require some sort of reflective surface in which it may admire its own self, unconcerned with the rest of the world.
I’m a traditionalist in that sense.
I don’t need anyone’s approval to revel in my glory.
