Inspiration

I'm doing the Hillside program now--I have all the bios, and I'm formatting it and adding graphics, etc. I was trying to think what sort of quotation(s) I'd like, not having access to my book of quotations which is at home (a little blank book in which I write down snippets of poetry, prose, arguments, etc.). And it struck me, the perfect poem for HIH:

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."

Yes, it's a little precious (I'm only including the last couplet)--but I do love that poem. It's so tender.

Very nice. But perhaps a couplet from Hells Bells or Welcome to the Jungle might be more appropriate? Of course it should done in calligraphy.

And you're a very sexy girl
Thats very hard to please
You can taste the bright lights
But you won't get them for free
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
Feel my, my, my, serpentine
I, I wanna hear you scream
