He is the loveliest god, who dissolves the old and brings in the new, who intoxicates, sending people out of their conscious minds with his enthusiasm, only to hang over them while they recover those faculties, to await their acknowledgement. The puer aeternus is therefore not just what is new and to come, but the very process itself by means of which the present transforms itself into something fresh – the non-mature, the chrysalis and imago itself, all within the same whole.
