I Just Look at the Pictures: Persephone Ferrando Agamben Narcissus

 

The narcissus, to which Kore, struck by its wonder, was drawn; and with her two hands desired to pluck, in that moment it is said that the earth opened and that up from the depths Hades came in his chariot and setting to his horses took Kore away.

– Papyrus Barolinensis 44 quoted in Giorgio Agamben and Monica Ferrando The Unspeakable Girl, pp. 85-86
