Now on the Fisher King Review:
Concerning The Cycle of Life by Erel Shalit
When cosmetics and plastic surgery mold a stiff and unyielding mask of youth, or rather of fictitious youthful appearance, old age cannot wear its true face of wisdom. By flattening out the valleys of our wrinkles, we erase the imprints of our character.

“I want to be able to fly. I want to hover around you like a winged Cupid in attendance on his Goddess.” From The Golden Ass by Apuleius. Lucius here pleads with his lover, a witch’s apprentice, to steal a magical potion so that he can be transformed into a god.
