"This book was bought for me on one of the most romantic and fulfilling evenings of my short life. Fresh from the Met's "Orfeo ed Euridice" wandering into a bookshop in the East Village, and returning home to a mind-gasm of reading aloud with someone I care dearly for. This collection is perfect for anyone who has loved or lost. "She slept the world..." This collection will continue to delight and haunt me for as long as I live."
"I admit, right off the bat, that I am not a fan of poetry. I try and try, but I just can't get in to it.
This book was a gift from someone special who wanted me to enjoy poetry. Instead I find some of the most absurd comparisons and metaphors for love and lovers that I've come across.
I'll read it again, to try to find what makes this sing, but I have little hope for me and my reading of poetry."
Schicksal, es misst uns vielleicht mit des Seienden Spanne, dass es uns fremd erscheint; denk, wieviel Spannen allein vom Madchen zum Manne, wenn es ihn meidet und meint."
