nor notice the arrow that sped to his heart."
perceive that Love with his darts dwelt within the rays of those lovely eyes. Giovanni Boccaccio provides a memorable example in his Il Filostrato, where he mixes the tradition of love at first sight, the eye's darts, and the metaphor of Cupid's arrow: "Nor did he ( Troilus) who was so wise shortly before. In some medieval texts, the gaze of a beautiful woman is compared to the sight of a basilisk. The love thus generated is conveyed on bright beams of light from her eyes to his, through which it passes to take up its abode in his heart. According to this description, love originates upon the eyes of the lady when encountered by those of her future lover. This doctrine of the immediate visual perception of one's lady as a prerequisite to the birth of love originated among the "beaux esprits" de Provence. In particular, a glimpse of the woman's eyes was said to be the source of the love dart: The classical conception of love's arrows were elaborated upon by the Provençal troubadour poets of southern France in the eleventh and twelfth centuries and became part of the European courtly love tradition.
is fortunate enough to meet his other half, they are both so intoxicated with affection, with friendship, and with love, that they cannot bear to let each other out of sight for a single instant." Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque 385-370 BC), in Aristophanes' description of the separation of primitive double-creatures into modern men and women and their subsequent search for their missing half: ". It is through the eye that love's wound passes, and I now became a prey to a host of emotions." Īnother classical interpretation of the phenomenon of "hunger at first sight" is found in Plato's Symposium (c. For Beauty's wound is sharper than any weapon's, and it runs through the eyes down to the soul. In Achilles Tatius's Leucippe and Clitophon, the lover Clitophon thus describes his own experience of the phenomenon: "As soon as I had seen her, I was lost. In Ovid's 8 AD epic, Metamorphoses, Narcissus becomes immediately spellbound and charmed by his own (unbeknownst to him) image, and Echo also falls in love with Narcissus at first sight. "Love at first sight" was explained as a sudden and immediate beguiling of the lover through the action of these processes, and is illustrated in numerous Greek and Roman works. The image of the "arrow's wound" was sometimes used to create oxymorons and rhetorical antithesis. If these arrows arrived at the lover's eyes, they would then travel to and 'pierce' his or her heart, overwhelming them with desire and longing ( love sickness). At times, the source of the arrows was said to be the image of the beautiful love object itself. This love passion was described through an elaborate metaphoric and mythological psychological effect involving "love's arrows" or "love darts," the source of which was often given as the mythological Eros or Cupid, sometimes by other mythological deities (such as Rumor ).
