	narcissus - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about narcissus
		In the true narcissus, the petals form a small bowl rather than the long trumpet of the daffodil.
		Narcissus was the son of the river god Cephisus and Liriope.
		And she tucked up her frock, to enable her to run quicker; but the Narcissus gave her a knock on the leg, just as she was going to jump over it.

	Goldmund Herman Hess - Cyclical Structure of Narcissus & Goldmund by Herman Hess
		Narcissus and Goldmund, by Herman Hess, contains a distinct cyclical structure.
		As Goldmund was before a spring lover, he is now a hunted murderer, but he does not at this point in the novel, realize that death, equated with the season of winter, are elements of the mother world.
		Goldmund’s final revelation to Narcissus was that in order to die, you must first have had to live, and living meant transcending both the mother world and the father world.

	Gladiator Insights: April 4, 1998 Script Draft
		Narcissus messages his arm parading with the gladiators in his gaudy armor shiny as the massive chrome bumpers of a '59 Caddy, his wild plumed helmet under his arm.
		Narcissus breaks away from the line of gladiators -- blowing kisses to the girls, absurdly striking muscle-man poses -- and the crowd goes completely berserk -- Narcissus is their man and they chant his name over and over.
		Narcissus dodges Tiger's first charge and as the chariot swings back into position he surprises the retiarius by yanking his net backwards toppling the retiarius and freeing Vednas.

	Read the Reviews About Cynthia Riggs' Books
		She’s a well-regarded poet who puts her keen powers of observation to work after she hears a murder being committed one evening in the harbor at Oak Bluffs, where her granddaughter, Elizabeth, is the assistant harbormaster.
		As I read along, I never figured out who the murderer was, which to me, an inveterate murder mystery reader, is the mark of a good plot, so I was quite satisfied at the eventual denouement.
		Cynthia Riggs's INDIAN PIPES (Thomas Dunne/St. Martin's Minotaur, $22.95) is typical of the cozy mysteries inspired by the picturesque charms of Martha's Vineyard, with its quiet coves and quaint cottages.

	THE BROOKLYN RAIL - FILM
		Black Narcissus: Based on the Rumer Godden novel, this erotic masterpiece set in a nunnery is a treatise on the lure of memory, the tragedy of wasted love, and how vanity and happiness are incompatible.
		An abused boy grows up to be a murderer of women, using a movie camera to which he has attached a mirror and a knife.
		In its own terrible way, the film is funny as hell, and shockingly prescient in its prediction of a society dominated by the notion that to observe life is to control it.

		His murderer, Duke Angelo, was in cahoots with the illegitimate son of the good Duke, Pasquale, who acted as regent for the birth son, Niccolò, after the good Duke's death.
		One secret is that the ink used for the letter is from the bones of the good Duke's lost guards who were murdered by Angelo and thrown into the lake.
		Pynchon's mention of "the stillness of the pool" relates directly to the allusion of the myth of Narcissus and the idea of the closed system.

	AS/SA No 11-12, Article 8: Micah Mattix, "Frank O'Hara's Lute Against the Self"
		At the outset of the story, the seer prophesizes that Narcissus will live to "a ripe old age" if "he does not come to know himself." We are then confronted with the situation where Narcissus comes to know himself as others knew him, thus, on the one hand, fulfilling the seer's prophecy.
		Metanarratively, however, the seer's prophecy seems to argue that the concept of "self" is a constructed entity by revealing the distance between the "Narcissus" constructed by the love-struck nymphs and the "Narcissus" constructed by Narcissus himself.
		The real tragedy of Narcissus is that even death did not offer an escape from his despair because "when he was received into the abode of the dead, he kept looking at himself in the waters of the Styx." (Ovid (1955), 87).

	The Austin Chronicle Books: Review - Orpheus and Company: Contemporary Poems on Greek Mythology
		The poem by Pease demonstrates one of the implications of the exercise of retelling: It inevitably involves an act of unchecked possession.
		The Narcissus of this poem may as well be Bill Clinton.
		This leads to the most dangerous trap involved in the act of retelling: The mythological characters, with all their familiarity and timelessness, are too easily used as void figures, empty names that the poets flippantly attempt to fill with not-quite-relevant personal, political, or cultural roles.

		We are informed, that Appius Silanus was got rid of in the same manner, by a contrivance betwixt Messalina and Narcissus, in which they had their several parts assigned them.
		Narcissus therefore burst into his lord's chamber before daylight, apparently in great fright, and told him that he had dreamt that Appius Silanus had murdered him.

	Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger
		She wants to construct a controlled, stereotypically English environment upon a place defined by its extraordinary colour, impossible landscapes, absurd dichotomies, impossible to make out boundaries, operatic abstraction and, of course, by an openly visible fakeness.
		Sister Clodagh seems to be surrounded by and suspect to a world that is far removed from the ‘realism’ conventionally associated with much ‘quality’ British cinema; a ‘realism’ she is attempting to impose upon this environment.
		One of other the tales within The Tales of Hoffmann, that of Giulietta (Ludmilla Tcherina), involves the stealing of Hoffmann’s reflection: a crisis of existential proportions in the mirrored and representationally self-conscious world of Powell and Pressburger’s cinema.

		For example, at the beginning of the film — when Mark murders a prostitute — we are implicated as voyeurs.
		This voyeuristic notion is also demonstrated by the scene in which Mark, having filmed the horrific murder, sits at home in a private cinema to watch his “documentary”.
		In addition, we see what the murder victim saw at the precise moment of her death (6).

	Grotesque On More Than One Level, El Nominado puts a mirror in front of American reality television
		Each cast member has their own personal reasons for signing up, but it isn’t until the ousting of a young man named Miguel, played by Sebastián Layseca, that we see the fatal conflict in the meshing of reality and entertainment in a forlorn world run by unethical corporate cogs.
		When Miguel is voted off of Bajo Tierra, he becomes insanely enraged and begins a predatory-style murdering spree aimed at the other eleven cast members.
		While the eleven-person cast/prey is being voted off of the show, by Miguel’s murderous rage, and vigorously trying to hide within the niches of the underground capsule to avoid death, the greed of the television station that produces the show is bathing in their new top ratings.
