Prayer to Persephone

Be to her, Persephone, All the things I might not be; Take her head upon your knee. She that was so proud and wild, Flippant, arrogant and free, She that had no need of me, Is a little lonely child Lost in Hell,--Persephone, Take her head upon your knee; Say to her, "My dear, my dear, It is not so dreadful here."
-- Edna St. Vincent Millay

Again, this one should speak to members of our community. Fortunately, for all of us who feel lost in hell, there are a number of Persephones. Take heart; it really isn't so dreadful here.
