The Arrow

"Dame Venus, Love's lady, was born of the sea," says the old madrigal. The starting point o fthis nimble malicious fantasy is a theme rare enough in fiction, an exact suggestion of the psychic and psychological effects of a sea voyage on a young masculine temperament. The vitim encounters the famous little statue of Eros in Piccadilly Circus. The fable is printed here entire, with the conclusion which was omitted in its magazine publication.
