Falling In Love With A Poem Across The Centuries

This is the way of powerful literature, across hundreds (or thousands) of years. “It landed in the hands of a schoolgirl who would one day fall in love with it. At first, she pushed it away, bored as she always was by homework, but the poem wouldn’t let go of her. It let itself be found again and again, until at last she fell for its charms.” – Irish Times
