Visiting the New York Public Library as a child , the Bulfinch Mythology book with the picture of Arachne being converted to a spider for her arrogance , and truth-telling, seemed unjust and incomplete.
What became of her as a half-human ? She propagated and kept her skills and virtues alive.
How did she meet others, and get along with them and raise a family, No detail escaped my fevered imagination.
The fires of puberty carried all this to incredible heights.
Her story became the substance of my dreams.
My fantasies about her fur-covered body and her forward manner elaborated and nourished my inner life.
The advent of the internet has fueled these embers in a prodigious manner. They now burn ardently.
