Tolstoy On Love Poem by Esther Leclerc

What a finely penned poem about a wonderful man and a timeless truth. I can attest to the accuracy of his philosophy - from personal and passionate experience. love, Allie xxxx

Thank you for the interesting thought. A gracefully-turned poem. Tolstoi was a passionate soul, and good for him. I enjoyed this very much. - Will

An intellectual and interesting piece. Unusual subject, but well-handled. -chuck

Esther, this is an exceptional write, you have touched on Tolstoy's varying perspectives on love at different stages with such eloquence. A thoughtfully composed piece that speaks volumes. Justine

Love, sweet love! Tolstoy and you know what you are talking about. I think it is great when us older folk (that would be me and Tolstoy, not you) remember what it was like to be young. The rhyme scheme here is great, and that makes the whole thing work so well. Good joy, Essemee!

Esther, Are you telling us that as people get older, they get smarter about love ? Is that the way it is on your planet ?

the fascination and magic of love will never cease...we have our version too...and Tolstoy..these writers have understood life and love..let us listen to them and write and add ours too...nice poem

Pleased I tripped over this one, Esther! Guilty as charged! Too much time weighing up the why's and wherefore's, and not enough attention paid to the realities and therefore's. That guy knew a bit about love, didn't he...and so do you :) Time marches on... Hugz jack :)

Why did I not see this before? Perfect; and a perfect reflection. Masterfully written (naturally) . t x

No more time to waste... only moments to savor. Interesting perspectives and well done, Esther! ! Brian
