Narcissus

Caravaggio (italian artist, 29 September 1571–18 July 1610),

Narcissus only loved himself. He broke hearts regularly, until he finally knew unrequited love. He saw himself in a pool's reflection and could never ever possess his own image. Poor Narcissus killed himself in grief and frustration.

Now we call those who are self centered to an extreme, narcissists.

Thanks to Melissa for defining the Spanish words in our first Junot Diaz story. And also thanks for bringing up Narcissus.
