HALCYON and Ceyx is a
CATAlog of love and of
CATAbolic
CATAstrophic events that some would call
CATAclysmic but which did not end in a
CATAcomb nor in
CATAlepsy but became a
CATAlyst toward immortality as if to note that
LYEIN means to loose or dissolve sentiments

the Gods and death relented and let feelings
CATApult ALCYON and Ceyx toward immortality in a
CATHARSIS of good feelings which made many cry
and blow their noses as if a
CATARRH or coryza made their "noses run away".
