A Pity Beyond All Telling…
…is hid in the heart of love. Wrote Yeats, and went on to describe the pleasurable experience of…worrying, I reckon, about one’s love object, even if he or she really isn’t in any immediate danger, none beyond the mortality we all share: “A pity beyond all telling/Is hid in the heart of love:/The folk that … Continue reading A Pity Beyond All Telling…
