Summary
Marianne is still consumed by just the sight of her, needing to catalog Héloïse’s every feature, to commit it all over again to memory—to a canvas she can hold up to others and say, look, here is the essence of art and beauty.
What she means is this is love, still—after everything—and she would capture the feeling with just her brushstrokes, tender and wrenching, at the first invitation.

Summary
She is dreaming, she is sure. Dreaming of Greek myths and Italian greats. Carvaggio and Gentleschi and all their dramatic contrast and chiaroscuro in this vision of the underworld.
But there is no Hades to meet her, or his wife, Persephone. No Cerberus or the Styx. She is already in this world’s midst, drawn towards the one piece of light that the darkness strays from: the glow of a woman in white garb. An image straight out of Marianne’s unfinished painting.
