| IPTC INFO | | Caption | 'Her death holds the promise of dying into life with her vision cleared--since she dies twice and can speak as one doubly illuminated." The Classical Eurydice is nearly speechless. Ovid does not give her a word to speak and Virgil gives her a few lines of complaint about the madness that compelled Orpheus to turn around: "What is this what great madness " she said "has destroyed both poor me and you Orpheus? Now again the cruel fates summon me back and the sleep of death drowns my swimming eyes. Goodbye: I am carried off surrounded by massive darkness holding out powerless hands to you alas not yours to have."
