You made a very good analysis of "Pomegranate" and "Persephone, Falling". I didn't put together the plucking of a flower and pomegranate until you mentioned it. I thought Boland used pomegranate to represent the pomegranate seeds eaten by Persephone, not the flower that was plucked. Since I was putting the seeds and the title together, I had thought her daughter had plucked an apple instead of a pomegranate.
I guess it's the inability to keep curiosity at bay that spells the fate for Icarus and Persephone.
