    Specter of Love
    Specter of Love
     
    There are few who've not heard, and many who could recite it,
    the chapters and verses of a love unrequited,
    and for each of them who've sung the hymn,
    but whose spirits remain undaunted,
    by such melodies and lyrics,
    some remain forever haunted.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
