“Shining Beauty” | Anthony Satori

“Her prayer was scarcely done when a heavy numbness seized her limbs, a thin bark closed around her gentle bosom, and her hair became as moving leaves; her arms were changed into waving branches, and her feet – so swift a moment ago – stuck fast in slow-growing roots. Her face was lost in a canopy of encircling laurels. Only her shining beauty was left.”

– Ovid (The Metamorphoses)
