Thoughts awry set on yonder surreal scenes down memory lane where moments were enlivened in each other’s company. A story has been told in a superb way set in the backdrop of Cardoba, Granadian palaces and Florentine shapes. I must say in the tradition of classics, anticlimax: ''Delicate Tapas together they had'' to 'split, distant dance demonic doubts'' make it a lovely read. The last two couplets are sheer philosophy. “All lovers swear more performance than they are able, and yet reserve an ability that they never perform; vowing more than the perfection of ten, and discharging less than the tenth part of one'' (Troilus and Cressida)
