They took each other by the hand,
And danced a stately saraband;
Their laughter echoed thin and shrill.
Sometimes a clockwork puppet pressed
A phantom lover to her breast,
Sometimes they seemed to try to sing.
from The Harlot’s House by Oscar Wilde
Where did that lustful lover go?

Pluto, god of the underworld, abducted Proserpine to be his queen and bride.
The woman’s fingers in the photograph above, brought to mind one of my favorite marble sculptures, Pluto and Proserpina (1621-22), by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in the Galleria Borghese, Rome.
