Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is Valentine’s Day, which is celebrated today,
February 14.

A poem about lovers who must be apart on Valentine’s Day:
Here among the lovers I wait willing,
Alone because I cannot be with you,
Pensive in the press of people filling
Promenades with passions old and new.
Yet I am happy in my melancholy,
Vested in a love that like the night
Arrays itself in dreams that clothe me wholly,
Leaving me contented till the light.
Even were I with you, we would wander
Near the things that still are yet to be,
Taking pleasure in that prescient wonder
In which we find the purest ecstasy.
Nor would our love be greater not apart,
Each with each together in the heart.
