In classical mythology, Endymion was a young man who, while sleeping in the mountains, was unsuspectingly kissed by the Moon Goddess Diana, who was so taken by his beauty that it warmed her cold heart. The poem gives heart to everyone looking for love, and that it comes at the most unexpected times and with no apparent rhyme nor reason. When the moon sinks down behind the mountain, it is Diana bending down to kiss Endymion. ( ~ Michele Fry)
