Clouds II: Wing-Child Eros

When the poet experienced Aphrodite’s personified sexual desires as a ’Dancing Eros’ in Book I, he will also appear as a sweet ’Winged Child’ throwing his arrows with a deadly aim, making no difference where or on what continent he’ll show up, or which gender he chooses at random. But parties in full swing are his preferred spots to mingle, where the young and the young at heart gather with an expectation for a good time, a sensual flirt, or perhaps with good luck finding a matching partner in love.
