If We Lived In The Middle Ages, Poem by Liza Sud

How wonderful, dear Liza! This is Abelard and Heloise revived and recast for us in our later days. I read their letters when I was in college and was really impressed with Heloise's courage and daring. Peter Abelard hid in his clerical gowns and professorship, in his letters he lectures her on theology. In her letters to him she just expresses a pure, deep, abiding love. I like this poem placing us in that earlier age with Courtly Love guiding a true love experience. And your emails and poems have that same purity and freshness and directness you cited in your recent email, the same qualities that Heloise embodied. (This is not flattery, it's what touched me deeply in your messages.)
