THE GOLDEN EAR

So saying, the goddess changed her size and appearance, shedding her old age, and she was totally enveloped in beauty. And a lovely fragrance wafted from her perfumed robes. The radiance of her immortal complexion shone forth from the goddess. Her blond hair streamed down her shoulder. The well-built palace was filled with light, as if from a flash of lightning.
