Description

Will you go though the fires of hell to seek your loved one? This is my version of "Orpheus and Eurydice". Who could not remember these words, "Love has led me here; Love, a god all powerful with us who dwell on the earth, and, if old traditions say true, not less so here. I implore you by these abodes full of terror, these realms of silence and uncreated things, unite again the thread of Eurydice's life. We all are destined to you, and sooner or later must pass to your domain. She too, when she shall have filled her term of life, will rightly be yours. But till then grant her to me, I beseech you. If you deny me I cannot return alone; you shall triumph in the death of us both." Persephone and Hades and all the creatures of the underworld shed their tears upon hearing these selfless words from Orpheus. But as you know, in the story, they let her go in one condition and that condition wasn't met. After one quick glance behind him, Eurydice slowly vanished and all he heard was a faint "Farewell". I would like to thank Grangehearts for this wonderful background and thank you all for your very nice inspiring comments.
