Who does not love the beautiful water-lily, the nympha odorata of our ponds and lakes? |
We find Phaer using Fairy-queen, as a translation for nympha. |
Kyamos in the Greek language appears to signify, not only a bean, but also the fruit or bean of the nympha nelumbo. |
Thetis was styled nympha, merely because she was supposed to be water. |
