From childhood’s hour I have not been
As others were—I have not seen
As others saw—I could not bring
My passions from a common spring—
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow—I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone—
And all I lov’d—I lov’d alone—

thank you David – Poe poetry not what I normally turn to but this one I liked and it was a fit with what the image conveys to me
👍🏻 I get it
Beautiful, Laura. These words could certainly apply to Poe who had a sad life.
thanks Roberta – I did not know that but it comes through in this poem of his
Yes, his many losses of important females in his life comes through strongly in a lot of his poems. My favourite Poe poem is The Sleeper.
Excellent pairing. Really!
thank you x
