The Earthly Paradise is a series of narrative poems by William Morris, first published in 1868-1870. Inspired by classical and medieval legends, the collection presents a group of travelers who, seeking an earthly paradise to escape the sorrows of their lives, arrive at an island where they hear stories from the local inhabitants.
Among these tales is the May section titled Story of Cupid and Psyche, a retelling of the classic myth. Morris's rich language and vivid imagery bring this timeless story of love, loss, and redemption to life, showcasing his skill as a poet and storyteller. Writing On the Image further explores themes of art and beauty, adding depth to the collection's exploration of human experience and the search for happiness.
