I just do not have the time to respond right now but I am so glad you cleared up the May Queen's role so that I did not have too.
In a way, if this piece is confused with her as the sacrifice I am sad, as it seems a failure. I forget that not everyone is aware of these things (I was raised in an Irish house). My piece is about the fertility (which seems obvious, and all the juicy sub-text to be played with) of the fields as the May Queen is in symbol of -- The Great Rite and the sacrifice of the seed as she lays in waiting, the old cycle now nourishment for the new. Of course I wove into this piece layers of meaning. ;)
You and Guy really have a fantastic thread going here. <3
Pieces say more than the author intended. Perhaps more than they knew they meant, at times! And such is the nature of metaphors, of mythic allusions. They don't convey all you wish them to, and they add on some more that you never intended.
