I like the "Lethe" suggestion, Richard. As it adds an effective mythological reference. BTW, I wasn't aware "Lethe" could be adjectivized to "Lethean" ... good to know! And talking mythology, I thought I could have a two-for-one by having Eurydice in the "looking back" lines, but it wasn't quite working. So, for now, I've simply replaced "prompt[s]" with "swirl[s]."
Thanks again, Richard!
Cheers,
...Alex
