Bear, the Minotaur, comes to stand beside you in the meadow by the brook. It’s twilight and the night is peaceful and lovely. Bear is your lover, your husband, and he’s been with you only a short while. A large, beefy, quiet sort of bull with a black shaggy pelt, his gruff and stoic nature cannot conceal his devotion to you, and your life together. “Are you warm enough?” He asks you gruffly, with an undercurrent of affection.
