What Are Cupid's Never Flawed

Improved Essays
People speak of fate,
And beating the odds.
Cupid’s arrow to congregate
A love that’s never flawed.

Planets aligning
Shooting stars up above
Full moon shining
And groups of pearl-white doves.

Few ever recognize
All the symbols and signs,
Until they peer into the eyes
That release them from their confines.

Poets write of eyes
Being a window to the soul,
Revealing a thread that lies
Independent from our control.

Imperceptibly connecting puzzle pieces.
Strong enough to withstand time
Stretches and releases
Encountered from the climb.

Only fate can arrange
Conjunction between the tattered ends anew.
What’s meant to be won’t change,
Regardless how far it goes askew.

    I will argue that there is more than just the loving eye and the arrogant eye, In Marilyn Frye ‘in and out of harm’s way: arrogance and love’ article in which she stats that our eyes are either arrogant or loving. She believed that there is no such thing for someone to have something as a ‘neutral eye’. For example, the arrogant eye sees everything in relation to itself and is always a one-sided demeaner, as it denies the mystery and complexity’s in the world instead the arrogant eyes-only favor seeing simplicity and having control in whichever situation it is in. On the other hand, the loving eye, which can see beyond just itself and acknowledge other realities beyond just its own, This eye see’s things like complexity, mystery and difference…

Only then does the narrator feel free and pleasure In doing so, the author suggests that the mind is the most important factor in the way we view things, and that the judgments we make are often based on what our minds construct…

    Following the seemingly contradictory anecdotes, Dillard deliberately closes with a positive anecdote about a young woman patient who closed her eyes for two weeks and finally reopened them. Dillard quotes, “the more she now directed her gaze upon everything about her, the more it could be seen how an expression of gratification and astonishment overspread her features; she repeatedly exclaimed: ‘Oh God! How beautiful!’” (31). When the patient finally reopened her eyes, she used the same sensing-before-perceiving type of sight that Dillard uses in nature.…

    Juana is far from the ideal woman but Lope playfully writes that he finds her attractive even if she has some ugly parts to her. Lope parodies the Petrarchan ideal by crafting his poetry from a desire for an unideal lady. Unlike Garcilaso’s lady, Juana is given a name, however her common Spanish name, added to the fact that she is a washerwoman, seeks to parody the convention further and here ‘idealized female beauty is subverted through the glorification of a more commonplace feminine object.’ However, while Lope claims that he is different to other poets in presenting an honest portrayal of his lady, he is concerned with his personal identity too.…

    Many books, movies, and TV shows, depict love as passion, commitment, and intimacy, it helps people relate and connect to the story at hand. Love is an emotion that disregards any eternal traits like age, sex, class, ethnic, nation, and even species because of how accepting it is. Even though it possesses these qualities, it can blind people to what they really want or what is true. This emotion can cause people to go distant lengths to save their significant others from danger, such as sacrificing themselves, or even in the case of Greek mythology, go to the underworld to convince the ruler of Hades to return the love of their life back from the dead. Like the classic Greek story of two people who were devoted to each other, were tragically…
