Ghost of Passion

If Eros wasn’t a god,
And if I wasn’t a mortal man,
My life would be simple but odd:
But is never falling in love at all worse than
Never falling prey to an unresponsive woman?

May the unresponsive woman stay away from you! I do believe feeling "love" is important in life, but falling for an unresponsive person can be very painful. Tough call to make in trying to answer your question, Jack. Nessie is posted. Are you having trouble with the Soup site today? Nothing's working right, but it might be my computer. Love, Carolyn
