True Love

Valentine's day is about to arrive ! In favor of this day I would like to share this poem with you, which is called True Love. It was written by Wislawa Szymborska and has won a Nobel price for literature.

True love. Is it normal
is it serious, is it practical?
What does the world get from two people
who exist in a world of their own?

Placed on the same pedestal for no good reason,
drawn randomly from millions but convinced
it had to happen this way - in reward for what?
For nothing.
The light descends from nowhere.
Why on these two and not on others?
Doesn't this outrage justice? Yes it does.
Doesn't it disrupt our painstakingly erected principles,
and cast the moral from the peak? Yes on both accounts.

Look at the happy couple.
Couldn't they at least try to hide it,
fake a little depression for their friends' sake?
Listen to them laughing - its an insult.
The language they use - deceptively clear.
And their little celebrations, rituals,
the elaborate mutual routines -
it's obviously a plot behind the human race's back!

It's hard even to guess how far things might go
if people start to follow their example.
What could religion and poetry count on?
What would be remembered? What renounced?
Who'd want to stay within bounds? ……

Let the people who never find true love
keep saying that there's no such thing.

Their faith will make it easier for them to live and die.

Our class went to see the play Romeo and Juliet on Wednesday, Feb.1.  This is the poster outside the theater.

Some of our class members wait for the doors to the theater to open.
