Cupid

Oh, innocent victims of Cupid,
remember this terse little verse:
To let a fool kiss you is stupid.
To let a kiss fool you is worse.
~Yip Harburg


Cute? Mischievous? For Art Thursday, we have Amor/Eros/Cupid/Love.

Cupids are cute indeed. Can't figure out why Time is cutting off Cupid's wings, though!
