This is wonderful! I was unaware of this Latin poem, but I thank you for sharing it with all of us. The story of those two doomed lovers is one of the most heart rending. Maeterlinck wrote a version of it in PELLEAS ET MELISANDE, which Debussy turned into a gorgeous opera. In some alternative universe, such stories have happy endings, but in our universe, we must always adjust our expectations to the tragic destiny. And celebrate the fragile beauty of lovers and poets and mountain ash trees and everything else that blooms momentarily.
