		"The Triumph of Time" dramatizes the mind of one who experiences the loss of his beloved, and "Hymn to Proserpine" presents the experience of a Roman of the fourth century A. who is losing his gods, the old pagan deities, now that Christianity has become the official religion of the state.
		In "Hymn to Proserpine" Swinburne also concerns himself to embody specific historical conditions by means of a fictional character who thus becomes a representative man. Furthermore, again like Browning, he chooses a figure living in an age of transition from one religion to another.

		Even though Swinburne attacked the religious establishment, he never became indifferent to its place in his life or his country's, as his poems "Hymn to Proserpine" and "Hertha" make clear.
		Swinburne's poems are haunting, however have the slight problem that they often refer to illusions of his creation.
		His Proserpine poems refer not to the Roman Proserpine (Proserpina, Persephone/Kore in Greek), but to his own creation.

		And it is their custom during these days to indulge in coarse language as they associate one with another, the reason being that by such coarseness the goddess, grieved though she was of the Rape of Kore, burst into laughter.

		Notes: This poem by Denise Levertov is apparently a reaction to the classic lines quoted at the top, which come from the poem "The Garden of Proserpine" (Persephone) by A.C. Swinburne (1837-1909).
		I really like another poem of Swinburne's, "Hymn to Proserpine (After the Proclamation in Rome of the Christian Faith)".
		Levertov's poem is dedicated to the memory of Karen Silkwood (an anti-nuclear activist) and Eliot Gralla (I don't know who he was).

		Tuesday, Nov. 30--Swinburne’s "Hymn to Proserpine" and "The Garden of Proserpine" (Norton, 1625-1631)
		Your thesis cannot be “the difference between Tennyson's “Ulysses” and Swinburne's “Hymn to Proserpine.” That is a topic.
		A successful thesis derived from this topic could be something like this: “Ulysses” and “Hymn to Proserpine” are both set in the classical world and use reference to its values to comment implicitly on Victorian life, the authors’ treatment of their material reflects their different attitudes about the purpose of life and of art.
