Description:
young man wearing no shirt with medium dark hair sits close to a reflective table and leans toward his image, plain wall behind; text below image

Label Text:
The text of this image is: NARCISSUS What a strange moment it must be, when for the first time in his life, the young man looks into the mirror and recognizes his own beauty. I think of another moment, years later, when the same man looks into the mirror again and sees that he is no longer young and he recognizes his loss!
