Proserpine.Dante Gabriel Rosseti

Spring Maiden, Spring Maiden,
Your perfume’s on the air
Intoxicating jasmine
And the flowers in your hair

Sweet new child of the Seasons,
Your lovesome presence felt
The fruit and babes are budding
As the final snowflakes melt

Dear old friend, heart’s compatriot,
I miss you more each year
Your songs and warm demeanour,
And the colours that you wear.


Authors note: Core is the original name of the maiden of the spring, who is the daughter of Zeus and Demeter. Zeus once promised Core to his brother, Hades, without telling her mother. After Hades kidnapped her, she was known as Persephone, or Proserpine.

This started out as a welcome to the new season , but after I found the picture of Core/Persephone/Proserpine aka that hot chick from Topside, sealing her fate by eating that pomegranate seed, it could well be Hades welcoming her back to the Underworld on her yearly obligation.
