Analysis of Beauty



At that moment when Aphrodite
 conquered the fourth Sky as well
 the highest circles of Society
 decided that she could now be
 proclaimed Illustrious Woman.

That is the great
 moment had come for the Advertisement
 her body to be stuck to the background of Omnipotence
 or for the passions of Nature to violently trampled on
 if she were
 to conquer even the Ninth Heaven.

Or simply to be a contributor
 to the Suns circling from Dawn to Sunset
 to be executed not only
                             without any intervention of night
 but also during the time period
 when the Giants of money had a taste for it.

And without yet returning to her Man
 Aphrodite observed that
 the seas had begun to bury the blue in the earth
 and the first dust had begun to fall
 on the laurel wreath of victory
 as the island of Cyprus
 filled up with reporters and managers
 and with the vilest people in the World.

The moment Hephaestus learned of all that
 he locked himself in his house
 and gave his full attention to his profession as gunsmith
 because he too would be losing
                                                         his beautiful wife
 now she had appeared before the eyes of the World.
