The eye of love

http://dearabbylovestargirl.blogspot.com/2011/06/hearts-for-eyes.html

  I was told to make a selection about a poem that caught my attention. i guess the picture i posted should really give you an idea as to what its about LOVE. The poems title is called "A Drinking Song". I know that the author actually was drinking when he wrote this poem.
             
                 Wine comes in at the mouth
                 And Love comes in at the eye;
                 Thats all we shall know for truth
                 Before we grow old and die.
                 I lift the glass to my mouth,
                 I look at you, and i sigh.

I personally think that this author is miserable. it seems as if he is very upset at whom he is looking at and seems very regretful of the person who he had gave his love to. maybe he has found out the truth before he actually died about this person and maybe thats why the author feels as so in the passage. i picked this image to actually represent the line in the passage that states "And love comes in at the eye". the image shows a heart in the eye and that symbols love which as humans most of us think we see LOVE when its probably lust. i choose a red color because the author showed a sense of anger for who he is looking at.



 Personally i would send this to my ex. Just because at one point i had that same feeling. like i said at one point. now i don't have to worry about that. but unfortunately  there lowlifes so they would never understand the actual meaning of this passage. lol ( just stating the truth) .

  1. like your opinion but i dont think that the author was miserable when he wrote it, maybe he was in love with the person that he was looking at but didnt have the guts to say it to her face so he drank to take the fear away.

  3. Interesting. Is love that comes "through the eyes" the real deal? And is the sigh a sigh of love or of sadness? I think there are many ways to read this poem.

    Argh. You still have your "captcha" on...
