Day by day he sat alone by the stream side, sorrowing for the bright maiden whose life was bound up with his own, because they had seen the light of the sun in the selfsame day; and thither came Echo and sat down by his side, and sought in vain to win his love. “Look on me and see,” she said; “I am fairer than the sister for whom thou dost mourn.” But Narcissus answered her not, for he knew that the maiden would ever have something to say against his words. So he sat silent and looked down into the stream, for there he saw his own face in the clear water, and it was to him as the face of his sister for whom he pined away in sorrow; and his grief became less bitter as he seemed to see again her soft blue eye, and almost to hear the words which came from her lips.Note: The original physical edition of this book contains a Preface, an Introduction, and End Notes; they are not included in this Kindle edition.About the Author:Sir George William Cox (1827-1902) was a British historian and scholar.
