Let me feel the warm sunshine and soft winds, and gather flowers again, and I will come back to you!" Pluto had grown to love Proserpine dearly. He could not bear t o lose her forever, yet he wished her to be happy. So he agreed to let her go back to her mother for six months of the year, but the other six she promised to spend with him.
