Meanwhile Psyche wandered day and night , restlessly seeking her husband , eager if she could not mollify his anger with a wife ' s caresses , at least to appease him with a devotee ' s prayers . Spying a temple in the summit of a high mountain , he thought : " How do I know he might not live there ? " Swiftly she moved towards it . Though she was wearied from her efforts , hope and desire quickened her step .
INTEREA Psyche variis iactabatur discursibus , dies noctesque mariti vestigationibus inquieta animo , tanto cupidior , iratum licet , si non uxoris blanditiis lenire , certe servilibus precibus propitiare . Ei prospecto templo quodam in ardui montis vertice , " Unde autem " inquit " Scio an istic meus degat dominus ? " et illico dirigit citatum gradum , quem defectum prorsus assiduis laboribus spes incitabat et votum
Psyche meanwhile was wandering far and wide , searching day and night for her husband , and the sicker she was at heart , the more eager she was if she could not mollify him by wifely endearments at least to appease his manager by beseeching him as a slave . Seeing a temple on the top of a steep hill , ' Perhaps , ' said , my lord lives there ' ; at once she made for it , her pace , which had flagged in her unbroken fatigues , now quickened by hope and desire .
