A victory of darkness.Persephone got stuck in Hell for nibbling on these fine fruits.
Our despair as Hades’ shadow snuffs out the joy and beauty of Summer. Wracked with grief at the forced separation, Demeter casts famine upon the earth – man is doomed.
Have we been eating this unloved fruit? Is there a time when the curse and darkness of winter will be lifted? Will we pass through March and through April still in the throes of winter’s cold?
Perhaps, we’re wrong about all this, we’re wrong to say it’s grumpy old Hades fault? Underneath his grumpiness he means well. Ok, so everything he touches is destroyed. His curse extends to all he meets. To each place he goes.
But he means well, his heart is not black but caring. And he loves Persephone.
And love will triumph over rationality...it always does, does it not?
...there will be a glimpse of Spring before we plunge once again into darkness.
