In roman mythology, cupid was considered the god of love. if he wounded a person, that wound would inflame the person's heart with love. Which line from the passage best supports the inference that the author believes a female is better suited for recognizing love?
Why Was Cupid a Boy?
by William Blake
Why was Cupid a boy.
And why a boy was he?
He should have been a girl,
For aught that I can see.
5
For he shoots with his bow,
And the girl shoots with her eye,
And they both are merry and glad,
And laugh when we do cry.
And to make Cupid a boy
10 Was the Cupid girl's mocking plan
For a boy can't interpret the thing
Till he is become a man.
And then he's so piercid with cares.
And wounded with arrowy smarts,
15 That the whole business of his life is pick out the heads of the darts. 'twas the greeks' love of war turn'd love into a boy, and woman into a statue of stone-- and away fled every joy.
