I think I got distracted by going off to watch the video. You're right - very similar themes, although I have to confess it didn't have the same emotional impact on me. Confirmation (if I needed it) that it's words that do it for me, every time ;-) Stefan, I’m very sorry I overlooked your comment – or rather overlooked replying to it.

Maybe it can't cope with all those smiles! It was written from the heart. I sat crying over the poem when I re-read it the other night, which is why I knew I had to share it with you here :-) Michele, hi – sorry you got stuck in akismet for a little while.

You've captured very well one of the most important dimensions - and challenges - of love. <b>Gennaro</b>, I agree - lots to learn about love from poetry, and lots to learn about poetry from love :-) You're reminding me (to my chagrin) that I have a book of Neruda's poetry on my shelves... unread. I must rectify that. Thanks. Robyn, thank you for picking up so eloquently on the theme of that poem. You’ve captured very well one of the most important dimensions – and challenges – of love.

There is much to learn about love from poetry. My favorite poet in terms of romantic poetry is Pablo Neruda. The Captain's Verses is a beautiful portrayal of his passion. I also like that most editions come with both the English and Spanish versions. The original sounds lovely to the ear. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Gennaros last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/EnduringWanderlust/~3/490027117/" rel="nofollow">Things To Do In NYC (For Free)</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> I can see the connection between the two questions.
