Standing like a sphinx in meditation, on the threshold of pure imagination, King Oedipus viewed sweet Hermaphrodite, as he contemplated on how to expedite the gentle awakening of this sleeping beauty? Thinking it was a king’s bounden duty. Holding a mirror of brightly burnished metals, adorned by Zodiac signs and golden petals, annealed by alchemy, that was flamboyantly decorated with water scenes. Thought to be one of many archetypes, possessed of arcane powers no one could ever resist or explain, he heard a pig, suddenly give out a loud squeal, on being offered a large apple, as a tasty meal! Its joyful reaction, awoke the sleeping recumbent, who forthwith arose from a position decumbent! Another situation resolved purely by happenstance, or was it a simple, fateful intervention, perchance?
