This poem, although primarily about love, echoes Emerson's ideals about how one should live one's life. Emerson believed in self-reliance, that one must cast off the chains of the norms of contemporary society and follow one's heart or instinct. |

I love the racy pace of the writing. It mirrors the pace of passionate abandon when you give in to your hearts desire with a tremendous feeling of freedom. The ending speaks of true love, that is when you love someone enough to let them go if need be. Edith Oram |

I absolutely love this poem. I read it almost every day. It most wonderful to give all to love. It breaks my heart when I think of how impossible this is at times. Nontheless, I love the poem it reminds me of my own beloved and how because of our cultural differences we simply cannot marry. And as much as we try we can not let go of each other. |
