Bulfinch's Mythology

Here we have Apollo and Daphne and how one of them refuses the other’s advances and becomes a laurel tree. Then we have Pyramus and Thisbe, the love story that inspired Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, or at least the bloody parts of it. And finally: Cephalus and Procris and how the wind is slutty and how misunderstanding can inspire uxoricide.

Ah sunflower, weary of time,
Who countest the steps of the sun;
Seeking after that sweet golden clime,
Where the traveler’s journey is done;

Where the youth pined away with desire,
And the pale virgin shrouded in snow,
Arise from their graves and aspire
Where my Sunflower wishes to go.”

–William Blake
