Orpheus és Eurydike

The gods take pity on Orpheus, who mourns for his deceased love: he may retrieve Eurydice from the realm of the dead, provided he refrains from looking back at her. Eurydice’s pleading shakes the heart of the enamored Orpheus, yet in a moment of weakness, he casts a glance at the woman whose shadow begins to dissolve before him. In that fleeting instant, hope still lingers; after all, against all odds, perseverance has achieved the impossible. Yet standing upon the threshold looms an avoidable failure born from our human frailties.
