<p>The Pentax K-x was announced last month, and it seems to be a very decent entry-level camera. We already reported the device will be available in a few different colors in Japan, while the US only gets black, white, and red models. And today Pentax said in Tokyo [JP], they are ready to roll out a very special version of the K-x, which is a particularly colorful model inspired by the so-called Kore Ja Nai robo toy.<a href="http://tallguyian.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/korejanai_pentax_02-620x465.jpg"><img src="http://tallguyian.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/korejanai_pentax_02-620x465.jpg" alt="" title="korejanai_pentax_02-620x465" width="499" height="375" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-239" /></a></p>

<description><![CDATA[&#8216;The whole power productive of water they called Oceanus, and named its symbolic figure Tethys]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>&#8216;The whole power productive of water they called Oceanus, and named its symbolic figure Tethys. But of the whole, the drinking-water produced is called Achelous; and the sea-water Poseidon; while again that which makes the sea, inasmuch as it is productive, is Amphitrite. Of the sweet waters the particular powers are called Nymphs, and those of the sea-waters Nereids.</p>
<p>Again, the power of fire they called Hephaestus, and have made his image in the form of a man, but put on it a blue cap as a symbol of the revolution of the heavens, because the archetypal and purest form of fire is there. But the fire brought down from heaven to earth is less intense, and wants the strengthening and support which is found in matter: wherefore he is lame, as needing matter to support him.</p>
<p>Also they supposed a power of this kind to belong to the sun and called it Apollo, from the pulsation of his beams. There are also nine Muses singing to his lyre, which are the sublunar sphere, and seven spheres of the planets, and one of the fixed stars. And they crowned him with laurel, partly because the plant is full of fire, and therefore hated by daemons; and partly because it crackles in burning, to represent the god&#8217;s prophetic art.</p>
<p>But inasmuch as the sun wards off the evils of the earth, they called him Heracles (from his clashing against the air) in passing from east to west. And they invented fables of his performing twelve labours, as the symbol of the division of the signs of the zodiac in heaven; and they arrayed him with a club and a lion&#8217;s skin, the one as an indication of his uneven motion, and the other representative of his strength in &#8220;Leo&#8221; the sign of the zodiac.</p>
<p>Of the sun&#8217;s healing power Asclepius is the symbol, and to him they have given the staff as a sign of the support and rest of the sick, and the serpent is wound round it, as significant of his preservation of body and soul: for the animal is most full of spirit, and shuffles off the weakness of the body. It seems also to have a great faculty for healing: for it found the remedy for giving clear sight, and is said in a legend to know a certain plant which restores life.</p>
<p>But the fiery power of his revolving and circling motion, whereby he ripens the crops, is called Dionysus, not in the same sense as the power which produces the juicy fruits, but either from the sun&#8217;s rotation, or from his completing his orbit in the heaven. And whereas he revolves round the cosmical seasons and is the maker of &#8220;times and tides,&#8221; the sun is on this account called Horus.</p>
<p>Of his power over agriculture, whereon depend the gifts of wealth, the symbol is Pluto. He has, however, equally the power of destroying, on which account they make Sarapis share the temple of Pluto: and the purple tunic they make the symbol of the light that has sunk beneath the earth, and the sceptre broken at the top that of his power below, and the posture of the hand the symbol of his departure into the unseen world.</p>
<p>Cerberus is represented with three heads, because the positions of the sun above the earth are three-rising, midday, and setting.</p>
<p>The moon, conceived according to her brightness, they called Artemis, as it were, &#8220;cutting the air.&#8221; And Artemis, though herself a virgin, presides over childbirth, because the power of the new moon is helpful to parturition.</p>
<p>What Apollo is to the sun, that Athena is to the moon: for the moon is a symbol of wisdom, and so a kind of Athena.</p>
<p>But, again, the moon is Hecate, the symbol of her varying phases and of her power dependent on the phases. Wherefore her power appears in three forms, having as symbol of the new moon the figure in the white robe and golden sandals, and torches lighted: the basket, which she bears when she has mounted high, is the symbol of the cultivation of the crops, which she makes to grow up according to the increase of her light: and again the symbol of the full moon is the goddess of the brazen sandals.</p>
<p>Or even from the branch of olive one might infer her fiery nature, and from the poppy her productiveness, and the multitude of the souls who find an abode in her as in a city, for the poppy is an emblem of a city. She bears a bow, like Artemis, because of the sharpness of the pangs of labour.</p>
<p>And, again, the Fates are referred to her powers, Clotho to the generative, and Lachesis to the nutritive, and Atropos to the inexorable will of the deity.</p>
<p>Also, the power productive of corn-crops, which is Demeter, they associate with her, as producing power in her. The moon is also a supporter of Kore. They set Dionysus also beside her, both on account of their growth of horns, and because of the region of clouds lying beneath the lower world.</p>
<p>The power of Kronos they perceived to be sluggish and slow and cold, and therefore attributed to him the power of time: and they figure him standing, and grey-headed, to indicate that time is growing old.</p>
<p>The Curetes, attending on Chronos, are symbols of the seasons, because time journeys on through seasons.</p>
<p>Of the Hours, some are the Olympian, belonging to the sun, which also open the gates in the air: and others are earthly, belonging to Demeter, and hold a basket, one symbolic of the flowers of spring, and the other of the wheat-ears of summer.</p>
<p>The power of Ares they perceived to be fiery, and represented it as causing war and bloodshed, and capable both of harm and benefit.</p>
<p>The star of Aphrodite they observed as tending to fecundity, being the cause of desire and offspring, and represented it as a woman because of generation, and as beautiful, because it is also the evening star-</p>
<p>&#8220;Hesper, the fairest star that shines in heaven.&#8221; [Homer, Iliad 22:318]</p>
<p>And Eros they set by her because of desire. She veils her breasts and other parts, because their power is the source of generation and nourishment. She comes from the sea, a watery element, and warm, and in constant movement, and foaming because of its commotion, whereby they intimate the seminal power.</p>
<p>Hermes is the representative of reason and speech, which both accomplish and interpret all things. The phallic Hermes represents vigour, but also indicates the generative law that pervades all things.</p>
<p>Further, reason is composite: in the sun it is called Hermes; in the moon Hecate; and that which is in the All Hermopan, for the generative and creative reason extends over all things. Hermanubis also is composite, and as it were half Greek, being found among the Egyptians also. Since speech is also connected with the power of love, Eros represents this power: wherefore Eros is represented as the son of Hermes, but as an infant, because of his sudden impulses of desire.</p>
<p>They made Pan the symbol of the universe, and gave him his horns as symbols of sun and moon, and the fawn skin as emblem of the stars in heaven, or of the variety of the universe.&#8217;</p>

<description><![CDATA[di Carmelo Albanese, Coordinamento nazionale Giovani Comunisti/e Che i massimi dirigenti della Kore ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><em>di Carmelo Albanese, Coordinamento nazionale Giovani Comunisti/e</em></p>
<p>Che i massimi dirigenti della Kore non abbiano mai aspirato a far diventare l&#8217;università ennese statale è sempre stato chiaro.Nonostante tutto ancora, il pur traballante sistema statale universitario si qualifica tale per il controllo “pubblico” sul terreno accademico ed economico-finanziario degli atenei, funzione questa poi espletata in diverse forme, ad esempio garantendo il controllo democratico sulle decisioni delle strutture universitarie da parte delle componenti (studenti, docenti, ricercatori) che quel mondo rappresentano, o pianificando un sistema di tasse su base reddituale tale da permettere tendenzialmente a tutti gli studenti l&#8217;accesso alla formazione, così come dallo spirito dell&#8217;articolo 3 della nostra Costituzione.<!--more--></p>
<p>Tutte cose, lo sappiamo, che per i nostri rappresentano lacci e laccioli difficilmente sopportabili in quanto limiterebbero le magnifiche sorti e progressive del rinomato ateneo. D&#8217;altronde, a questa proclamata ambizione non ci credeva nessuno nemmeno al tempo dell&#8217;ormai epica battaglia autostradale, con tanto di deputato alla testa degli insorti, allorché, nello schema del “vorrei ma non posso”, veniva utilizzata l&#8217;argomentazione che l&#8217;allora riforma Moratti impediva la costituzione di nuovi atenei statali per un limitato numero di anni e che dunque, fino a quel giorno, si sarebbe dovuta seguire la strada che poi venne effettivamente intrapresa.<br />
La certezza che l&#8217;ateneo ennese resterà quel che è ci viene oggi chiaramente data niente poco di meno che dal Consiglio d&#8217;Amministrazione di questo, che intervenendo sul tema della costituzione del quarto polo universitario siciliano, assieme ai distaccamenti di Siracusa e Ragusa, in una nota sostiene che “l&#8217;Università Kore di Enna non intende partecipare ad alcuna forma istituzionale che ricalchi modelli universitari vecchi e statalisti” e che il proprio modello innovativo “corrisponde ampiamente al progetto di governance degli atenei proposto dal ministro Gelmini” (<a href="http://www.ennanotizie.info/">www.ennanotizie.info</a> del 15/11/2009). Storicamente, le rivendicazioni anticentraliste hanno sempre nascosto il tentativo di sparute èlites di garantirsi privilegi senza ingombri, e in effetti, la dichiarazione del presidente del Consorzio universitario ibleo (già parlamentare di Forza Italia), che fa eco a quella dell&#8217;organismo ennese, sembra alludere proprio a questo. Costui, infatti, sogna un mondo, per l&#8217;università “de noi antri”, in cui lo Stato abbia un ruolo notarile e di semplice elargitore di denaro, sostenendo che questo “si limiterà ad assicurare la validità del titolo di studio rilasciato e metterà a disposizione le risorse del Fondo nazionale di funzionamento dell&#8217;università per pagare i docenti” (ibidem). In questo lucido schema, sarebbe da capire a cosa dovrebbero servire le rette da migliaia di euro che ad oggi versano gli studenti, se dalle spese dell&#8217;ateneo-fondazione venisse decurtato questo ingente capitolo. Da oltre un anno la contro-riforma del Ministro Gemini viene fortemente contestata in tutte le piazze d&#8217;Italia e, non di rado, mi sono trovato a fianco in queste manifestazioni tanti iscritti e simpatizzanti del Partito Democratico. Sarebbe curioso, a questo punto, sapere cosa pensano di tali innovativi progetti i dirigenti locali di questo partito e del suo gruppo giovanile, così come pure l&#8217;Associazione Campus, che di quello è di fatto la succursale, così solerte, normalmente, ad intervenire sulle più disparate questioni. Certo, forse sbaglio io, su queste vicende la politica non dovrebbe entrarci; a ricordarmelo è lo stesso sito internet della Kore che nella sezione “breve storia” spiega che proprio la formula giuridica della fondazione venne scelta a suo tempo proprio allo scopo di garantire “la piena indipendenza dalla politica locale, requisito indispensabile per il funzionamento di un ateneo”. Non c&#8217;è, infatti, una porta girevole tra il palazzo della politica locale e quello dell&#8217;università: non è vero che fino a qualche anno fa il Consiglio d&#8217;Amministrazione della Kore era composto dalla deputazione provinciale, bi-partisan; non è vero che l&#8217;attuale presidente dell&#8217;università lo è stato anche della Provincia regionale; non è vero che il Rettore ha una lunga e brillante carriera politica alle spalle, avendo pure ricoperto l&#8217;incarico di Ministro della difesa; non è vero che l&#8217;attuale vicesindaco del comune di Enna è anche presidente del Consorzio Ennese Universitario(&#8230;.) Si, è vero, forse sbaglio io, ma mi si perdonerà, io sono comunista.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Desta vez o Caer Ynis não realizou cerimônia pública. Juliana e Bach realizaram uma cerimônia nos moldes da OD, nas terras de Koré, sob o olhar da Araucária sagrada em uma bela clareira.</p>
<p>O ritual iniciou com a purificação através da respiração do Awen para harmonizar a mente, o corpo e o espírito. Logo em seguida foram realizadas as preces e convocações tradicionais aos deuses de Celtia, aos antepassados e aos espíritos locais.</p>
<p>Dentro da clareira ainda, montamos uma pequena oferenda de flores para presentear a sagrada Araucária. Foi uma forma de honrar  e homenagear aos Três Povos, agradecendo por todas as graças que alcançamos. Ofertamos também água, numa espécie de sacríficio, pois precisaríamos desta mesma água para o trajeto de volta.</p>
<p>O ritual foi finalizado com uma meditação ao redor da sagrada Araucária, onde pudemos receber a força telúrica que ela e suas irmãs emanavam no ambiente, alquimizar e devolver na forma de energia de cura para o mundo.</p>
<p>Além desse ritual, na noite anterior acendemos o fogo sagrado e realizamos debates ao redor deste a respeito da força e poder do fogo e das transformações que Beltane nos traz.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Il lodo Alfano, vale a dire la legge che prevede la sospensione dei processi per le prime quattro cariche dello Stato, è illegittimo perché viola gli articolo 3  e 138 della nostra Costituzione. Questo il verdetto dei quindici giudici della Corte costituzionale, riuniti in seduta plenaria. Tale sentenza, in particolare, permetterà che i due processi a carico del Presidente Berlusconi (per corruzione in atti giudiziari e per reati societari) vengano riaperti.</p>
<p>“Esprimiamo grande soddisfazione per il pronunciamento contrario della Consulta nei confronti di questa ignobile legge, lesiva dello stato di diritto -afferma Carmelo Albanese, del Coordinamento nazionale dei Giovani Comunisti-. <!--more-->Tocca adesso al presidente Berlusconi trarre le dovute conclusioni e dimettersi. Questa decisione, peraltro, dà ragione alle motivazioni che ci portarono a contestare, il 27 ottobre 2008, assieme al “Comitato promotore per il referendum contro il lodo Alfano”, la presenza del ministro a Enna. Oggi più di ieri, dunque, rivendichiamo con orgoglio quell’azione dimostrativa, che portammo fin dentro l’auditorium in cui era previsto l’intervento di Alfano, riuscendo a rovinare la passerella mediatica che i dirigenti della Kore avevano prospettato. In quella occasione ci assumemmo la responsabilità di rappresentare lo sdegno degli studenti e delle persone libere e democratiche di questa città, che venivano offese dalla disinvoltura con cui era stato deciso di fare inaugurare l’anno accademico a questo insigne giurista, talmente eminente da redigere un provvedimento incostituzionale!”.<br />
“Quella incauta scelta -conclude Albanese-, oltre che sfidare la coscienza civile e morale degli ennesi, ha impresso l’ennesimo indelebile marchio negativo su questa università e, cosa ben più grave, ha incrinato l’immagine della città che la ospita. Per queste ragioni, a giudizio ormai pronunciato, chiediamo al rettore Andò e al presidente Salerno di fare, quantomeno, un passo indietro, facendo ammenda dell’errore compiuto”.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>In my quest to better understand Persephone, I have found myself pausing at this particular point. Why is it that Hades chose Persephone—or Kore—to be his wife? It was not merely her maidenhood, her sexual innocence; and nor was it her gentle, sunlit nature. To boil it down to her as the ‘essence of spring’ does an injustice to this goddess – for she is the embodiment of change, of all of the seasons, of the natural order. But as Kore, she was not such things. She was <em>just</em> Demeter’s daughter, <em>just</em> the maiden accompanied by nymphs. And yet Hades saw something in her, this girl—or rather, this pretty puppet, a flower not yet opened—and he fell in love with her. The heart of one such as Hades was warmed by her and, inflamed by Eros’ eager smiles, he stole her away.</p>
<p>I believe that Hades recognised his equal in Persephone. He did not part the earth and incite Demeter into almost killing gods and humans everywhere just so that he could have a pretty little doll sit on his lap. No: he brought her into the Underworld and helped her become his equal. And she, in return, accepted the pomegranate seeds—Hera’s seeds; the seeds of marriage—and they were wed.</p>
<p>One might wonder how, and why, Hades and Persephone are equals. Prior to his abduction of her, they were not: in <em>spirit</em> they were, but in terms of influence they were all but opposites. Persephone was responsible only for spring growth, for the gentle blossoming of flowers; and Hades was the King of the Underworld. Persephone was also living her immortal life in Demeter’s shadow; she was watched constantly by her, and those that vied for her hand were turned away by her mother, not by her. If Hades had not abducted Persephone she, arguably, might never have reached her full potential: she would have likely lived forever in her mother’s shadow, responsible only for the beginning of spring.</p>
<p>With the help of Zeus and Gaia, according to the <em>Homeric Hymn to Demeter</em>, Hades was able to steal away Persephone, unnoticed by all but Helios and Hekate. There is significance in this: Helios, lord of the sun, sees everything that occurs throughout the day; Hekate, queen of necromancy and ghosts, would know of everything that occurs throughout the night. Thus the transition of Kore to Persephone—girl to woman—is echoed not only in Persephone’s annual return from the Underworld and the awakening of the earth, but also in the time in which she was taken: at dusk or dawn, the in-between times.</p>
<p>In art and myth, Persephone is often described as a “young” goddess. She is a youth; stolen from the sunlight before she can achieve her true form, and yet she is not a child. She is at the in-between stage, the ‘dawn’ of womanhood: she is the quintessential woman-child. In abrupt, modern terms, she is a teenager. She does not yet know the delights and sorrows of being a woman; she is not a matron, and she will <em>never</em> be a crone. She is caught at a stage of hormones, a twist of cool logic and sharp emotions – and thus can be seen in how she behaves as Queen of the Underworld.</p>
<p>Persephone’s relationship with Adonis (which I will discuss in more detail further on) is an echo of this transition. After his death, he spends half of the year in the Underworld with her, and half with in the world above with Aphrodite. To coincide with this, Adonis would spend the autumn winter months with Persephone, and the spring and summer months with Aphrodite: thus their relationship echoes the themes of life-death-rebirth that are so common in the Greek mythologies.</p>
<p>When Persephone is stolen from the world, Demeter proves that she is willing to go to any lengths to get her back. She refuses to let the living things taste fruit and feel warmth—both fruit and heat here symbolising <em>life</em>, as food and energy are required for most, if not all, life-forms. (It is also ironic, then, that the only fruit that can be found in the Underworld—the pomegranate—still grew without Demeter’s influence; if she had killed that, too, Persephone might never have become the Queen of the Underworld.) Thus both Demeter and Persephone are here goddesses of winter; of the hard, cruel, cold months where—and this would have been particularly true in antiquity—jagged, icy death reigns and humanity becomes the prey, rather than the predator.</p>
<p>And then, when Persephone returns from the Underworld, she and her mother bless the earth with life – the flowers begin to grow; the fruits shine; the snows recede. Demeter and Persephone, then, are goddesses of the seasons—for Demeter brings about the changes of summer and winter and Persephone rules spring (as Kore, <em>the maiden</em>, goddess of spring growth) and autumn (as Persephone Karpophoros, <em>the bringer of fruit</em>, goddess of the harvest).</p>
<p>As Queen of the Underworld, Persephone is a much more merciful, benevolent ruler than Hades – and such is shown in how she treats the (would-be) heroes that find their way into the Underworld. When Herakles entered the Underworld, he was ‘welcomed like a brother by Persephone’ (Diodorus Siculus, <em>Library of History</em>); and according to Apollodorus in his <em>Bibliotheca</em>, Herakles passed up victory in his wrestling competition with the Underworld god Menoites ‘at the request of Persephone.’ When Psykhe reached Persephone’s palace, she ‘declined the soft cushion and the rich food offered by her hostess,’ (Apuleius, <em>The Golden Ass</em>) and when she reported the trial that Aphrodite had tasked her with, Persephone immediately filled the box of beauty for her. Persephone took favour on Sisyphus and released him from the Underworld; and when Orpheus sang of his love for Eurydice, he ‘persuaded her to assist him in his desires and to allow him to bring up his dead wife from Haides’ (Diodorus Siculus, <em>Library of History</em>).</p>
<p>However, Persephone also proves that she is not a goddess with whom one can trifle with; when Peirithoos plans to kidnap her from the Underworld for his wife, the youth Persephone blossoms into a woman and deals swiftly with him: ‘Peirithoos now decided to seek the hand of Persephone in marriage, and when he asked Theseus to make the journey with him Theseus at first endeavoured to dissuade him and to turn him away from such a deed as being impious; but since Peirithoos firmly insisted upon it Theseus was bound by the oaths to join with him in the deed. And when they had at last made their way below to the regions of Haides, it came to pass that because of the impiety of their act they were both put in chains, and although Theseus was later let go by reason of the favour with which Herakles regarded him, Peirithoos because of the impiety remained in Haides, enduring everlasting punishment; but some writers of myths say that both of them never returned.’ (Diodorus Siculus, <em>Library of History</em>).</p>
<p>In discussing Persephone and her transition—after her abduction at Hades’ hands—from child to woman, it is inevitable that one must discuss who she has ever taken as a lover. Unlike many of the gods, Persephone did not have numerous lovers – only Hades (to whom she gave birth to the Erinyes, according to the Orphic Hymns 29 and 70), Zeus (to whom she birthed Zagreus, according to the Orphic Hymn 29, Hyginus, Diodorus Siculus, Nonnus and Suidas; and Melinoe, according to the Orphic Hymn 71) and Adonis.</p>
<p>Persephone’s infamous love-affair with Adonis produced no children, and, strangely, did not incite the jealousy or wrath of her husband Hades (though Ares, only the paramour of Aphrodite, was envious enough of Adonis to kill him, according to some classical writers). It could be argued that Persephone’s relationship with Adonis is symbolic of the process of rebirth. Before his death, Adonis spent a third of his year with Persephone—I suggest that this third was the very end of autumn, the whole of winter, and the very beginning of spring. As such, Aphrodite would be cold and in mourning in the months when sex and love would, especially in antiquity, have not been at the forefront of the minds of humankind; and his emergence from the Underworld would coincide with Persephone’s own. Thus the relationship of Adonis, Aphrodite and Persephone would symbolise the entire theme of life-death-rebirth: Aphrodite as the ruler of life, Persephone as the ruler of death, and Adonis as the transition between their realms. Adding to this, both Aphrodite and Persephone share the epithet Despoina—<em>the ruling goddess</em>, or <em>the mistress</em>—and this, I think, lends further credence to the idea proposed.</p>
<p>Persephone’s relationship with Zeus was one of the most devastating of unions: the King of Life and the Queen of Death. As such, perhaps Zagreus was doomed from the very offset – born of trickery and lies, for, according to such authors as Nonnus, Zeus took the shape of a <em>drakon</em> (a dragon; a serpent) and ravished Persephone. Zagreus was a colossal explosion of Fate—for Zeus and Persephone both influence it, and have been influenced by it—as well as the primal stirrings of desire. Thus Zagreus—and, in turn, Dionysos—is a god with influence over life, death <em>and</em> fate, for he commands his followers to take their destinies into their own hands and twist them into oblivion.</p>
<p>In answer to the question proposed by the very title of this essay—<em>Why Persephone?</em>—I give this: Hades chose Persephone because she was his perfect opposite: feminity to his masculinity, warmth to his cold and light to his darkness. Between them, Hades and Persephone are, also, the very embodiment of two principles that rule supreme in the psyche of humans – the notion of life after death, and the promise of rebirth. They are fair rulers of the Underworld and just governors of fate; and in their capable hands, I am assured that the flow of life, death and rebirth will continue as long as the Moirai—the Fates—see fit.</p>

<description><![CDATA[The autumn leaves rustle their chill warning To those who are most affected by the Change of the sea]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>The autumn leaves rustle their chill warning<br />
To those who are most affected by the<br />
Change of the seasons; the change from maiden<br />
To wife; from mother to despairing crone:<br />
Demeter and Persephone, the queens<br />
Of the fertile earth and all its fruits.</p>
<p>Winter does not creep up, unnoticed; for<br />
It is not a wolf in sheep’s skin, but a<br />
Wolf with wolf’s eyes, ears, teeth and deadly smile.<br />
The wolf stole away Kore as she lingered<br />
In her mother’s warm, far-reaching shadow,<br />
And claimed her as his own: kin of his blood.</p>
<p>Winter comes, and neither the Mother nor<br />
Daughter can forget what came that first time.<br />
The earth parted beneath Kore’s dainty feet<br />
And the wolf, stinking of death, took her up<br />
In his rough arms, wolf’s arms, and brought her to<br />
The world that no-one ever leaves unchanged.</p>
<p>His world, named for him: that dark, gloomy place<br />
Where only pomegranates grow, bright through<br />
The heavy, eternal darkness of Dis.<br />
Both Mother and Daughter remember those<br />
Pomegranates, and the seeds of which bound<br />
Persephone, Iron Queen, to her realm.</p>
<p>Demeter hides her face in a mourning<br />
That none can shake from her tight eyes and lips.<br />
Even her mother cannot prevent what<br />
Will come, as it always does; the slow creep<br />
Of frost over the earth, settling soon<br />
As thick white snows that forbid any growth.</p>
<p>Persephone stains her lips red with wine<br />
That is based upon her fruit, and she smiles<br />
At her husband, and lets him rest his cold,<br />
Cold head upon her breast, like a young child<br />
Seeking warmth from someone he barely knows,<br />
But for their face, their name and their kindness.</p>
<p>Demeter pounds the earth with an onslaught<br />
Of ice shaped like knives, daggers, swords; she tries<br />
To pierce through the thin skins humans wear<br />
To keep away Demeter’s deadly cold.<br />
She smiles at those who succumb, watching their<br />
Soul flee; and she snarls at those who survive.</p>
<p>Then it is spring; it melts away the ice<br />
With warm, watery sunlight that barely<br />
Takes the chill from Demeter’s cold, cruel face.<br />
She–Mother, Daughter, Wife, Lady and Queen–<br />
Allows the sunlight to begin to warm<br />
The earth; for Kore will return to her soon.</p>
<p>It is not Kore who returns at spring, though:<br />
Demeter has never understood that<br />
Kore died the instant her mother’s ice pierced<br />
Her delicate skin; Persephone is<br />
All that remains now, a Daughter that is<br />
Born again each year, but remains the same.</p>
<p>The summer blazes: over the countries<br />
Wildfires roam, destroying everything<br />
That happens to stand in their path, to stop<br />
Them from taking what is rightfully theirs;<br />
Demeter pities the wildfires, for<br />
She alone knows that feeling all too well.</p>
<p>She alone knows just how much it can tear<br />
You apart; how it can steal the breath from<br />
Your lungs and make you cry out for that which<br />
You have lost to the endless mysteries<br />
Of the world; she lost young Kore to that cruel<br />
World, and she has never forgotten that.</p>

<p><em><span style="color:#333333;">mafyanın üst seviyedeki adamlarından biri olan Gang-pae(so ji sub)</span></em><span style="color:#333333;"><em> bi aksiyon filmi çekmekte olan ünlü aktor Soo-ta(Kang Ji Hwan)</em><em> ile bir barda tesadüf eseri tanışır.. Gan-Pae hayatı boyunca bir aktör olmak istemiştir fakat karşısına çıkan fırsatlar onu ne yazık ki çok farklı yollara sürüklemiştir.. aktör Soo-tae ise oldukça ünlüdür; fakat bir türlü bu yaşama tam analmıyla uyum sağlayamamıştır.. öyle ki uzun zamandır birlikte olduğu sevgilisi ile bir kere bile insan içine çıkmamıştır.. ve çekmekte olduğu aksiyon filmi de, dövüş sahnelerinde ipin ucunu kaçırıp karşısındaki  oyuncuları hastanelik ettiğinden bir türlü tamamlanamamaktadır..<br />

<p><em>ve tabi hastanelik olan aktörlerden sonra artık hiç kimse onunla oynamak istememektedir.. bu yüzden son çare olarak Gang Pae&#8217;den onunla oynamasını istemek zorunda kalır..

<p><em><span style="color:#333333;">bu arada filmde Kim Ki Duk&#8217;un da parmağı varmış(senaristiymiş kendisi).. ee bi Kim Ki Duk ve So Ji Sub sever olarak bu filmi beğenmemem beklenemezdi herhalde.. izleyin ve kore sinemasına karşı ön yargısı olanlara izlettirin..</span></em></p>
