Echo Enduring Empty Voice

Is Echo anything beyond a voice? Narcissus is a very handsome man. Is love an obligation, or a choice? It hasn’t varied since the world began. Narcissus is a very handsome man. He sees his own reflexion, and he knows: it hasn’t varied since the world began. To love an egotist engenders woes. He sees his own reflexion, and he knows he is his own enduring fantasy. To love an egotist engenders woes – one thing will always block you: that thing’s “he”. He is his own enduring fantasy: he seeks no other: he’s both hook and bait. One thing will always block you: that thing’s “he”. Thus gorgeousness becomes an ugly trait! He seeks no other. He’s both hook and bait. He’s empty. As we say, he’s lost the plot: thus gorgeousness becomes an ugly trait. But sound, like memory, can mark the spot. We think love lasts for ever. Clearly not. Abandoning a partner now seems rife. The axioms we’ve lived by are forgot. What are the privileges of a wife? Abandoning a partner now seems rife. Is love an obligation, or a choice? What are the privileges of a wife? Is Echo anything beyond a voice?
