'Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say goodnight till it be morrow.' How I yearned to say those lines when I embarked on my journey into the theatre. Alas it was not to be, but the words remain some of the most poignant and well known of all English literature. This is my round about way of saying what a great title for this poem - in which you elevate the notion of human love and parting to that more spiritual plane where ego is absent and love everlasting. 'Our yearnings, now braided Round sorrow's feet Can then seat themselves at Heaven's sweet door.' is particularly lovely. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
