I appreciate your essay. You have captured something important with your words - truth, or at least a version that speaks clearly to me on a deeply personal level. Thank you.

Ave Formosissima, from Carmina Burana. Change the titles in your piece, and the idea is interchangeable.

After consideration, I am incorrect and yet that is what was playing in my head while I read the essay. In mitigation, the entirety of Carmina Burana is wholly applicable.

Also if you want to go flat-out romantic with Leonard Cohen, you need to listen to "I'm Your Man."
