Psyche is the common name for the soul
and the process of changes it undergoes
reflects its Greek namesake, the butterfly.
"Poetry thus makes immortal all that is best;
it arrests the vanishing apparitions which haunt
the interlunations (between the old and the new moons)
of life, and veiling them or in language, or in form, sends
them forth among mankind, bearing sweet news of kindred
joy to those with whom their sisters abide ~ abide because
there is no portal of expression from the caverns of the spirit
which they inhabit into the universe of things."
~ Percy Bysshe Shelley
