L'amour, Qu'est-Ce Que L'amour? Poem by Michael Walker

L'amour, Qu'est-Ce Que L'amour?

L'amour-c'est quoi l'amour? Un grand coeur douleureux;
Des mains tordues; et le silence; et un long desespoir.
La vie-qu'est-ce la vie? Sur un bruyere nue
Voir l'amour venir et voir l'amour partir.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Poem Hunter/ Robert Louis Stevenson/poems/ 106/239.
He defines love as an 'aching heart', and 'a long despair'. This to me means love that is not returned by the woman, so that he is disappointed. The feeling is not mutual. 'Life' is to see lovers coming and going on bare moors.
