    “‘What is the world, O soldiers?
    It is I,
    I, this incessant snow,
    This northern sky;”
    —Walter De La Mare (1873–1956)

    “Persephone herself is but a voice
    or a darkness invisible enfolded in the deeper dark
    of the arms Plutonic, and pierced with the passion of dense gloom,
    among the splendor of torches of darkness, shedding darkness on the
    lost bride and her groom.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
