Odilion Redon Ophelia among the flowers
Odilion Redon “Ophelia”
PERSEPHONE: Roses are red– sometimes, at least– and irises blue, tulips in all kinds of colors, violets are purple, really, clover is pink or white and buttercups and and dandelions and daffodils are yellow, usually…
APOLLO: Is that supposed to be poetry?
PERSEPHONE: No, I just like flowers. Each spring I wish I had planted more. My favorites are the ones that come back again every year, like hyacinths and apple blossoms. But there’s nothing wrong with marigolds and snapdragons, either.
Inspiration from Kingof Ghosts, and apologies… I was worried I might half remember this poem and not be able to find the whole thing when it was wanted.
