John William Waterhouse
Hylas and the Nymphs

1896   Oil on canvas
38 x 64 in
"When the ship of the Argonauts reached the island of Cios, Hylas, the young and handsome companion of Hercules, was sent ashore in search of water. He discovered a fountain, but the nymphs of the place were so enchanted by his beauty that they pulled him to the depths of their watery abode, and in spite of the cries of Hercules which made the shores reverberate with the name Hylas, the young man was never seen again.

he went in search of water and ended up finding clams!
- mmmm clams...

Hylas wondered upon such beauty and caring... that which we
all search for... paradise... being loved by someone or someones whose
life evolves around ensuring that he got as much love as he gave...
reciprical, unconditional... when you find paradise, don't leave for any
reason...stay, commit and eternal bliss will surround you... forget
Hercules, forget Bush, protect your own paradise, and it will protect you...
- I had it, but, I ran away from it...
How are you sure you had it if you ran?  -Ed.
