Notes About The Poem

" PREPOSTEROUS " FROM MY ROOF GARDEN, MY PHOTO, ©

Image may contain: plant, flower, nature and outdoor

Preposterous

What?

Preposterous, you said?

No, my dear friend!

It is not preposterous to live and die for love

But

To live and never be able to love, certainly is!

This is a preposterously good verse my dearest Demetrios. As you know, Tennyson said 'Tis better to have loved and lost than not loved at all'...Maria xxx
