Description
I shall tell the world the nature of that food which confines Proserpina beneath the huge weight of earth, the bond of love that unites her to the gloomy king of night, and the defilement she suffered, such that her mother would not call her back.
Lucan, Pharsalia
(I needed to soothe my travel anxiety, so I painted the kiss scene from Persephone’s dream in Anthesteria. ^^)

Gorgeous 
What a lovely way to soothe yourself, too.
And that quote is perfect - I hadn't heard of the Pharsalia, and I love the idea that Demeter would not call Persephone back home because of 'defilement.' I think it fits with your Demeter's ideas concerns about romance very well (which is a very complicated issue for her, which I also love).
