remember how much your imagination created for you.

the less great, the more real and tangible.
Of loves like these you were not deprived.

Hasty and inexperienced creatures of the moment,
In the palaces of Eleusis and Phthia,Demeter and Thetis initiate good worksover high flames and heavy smoke.But Metaneira always bursts infrom the royal quarters, hair loose, terrified,and Peleus always gets scared and intervenes.
