"Be ahead of all parting, as though it already were<BR>
behind you, like the winter that has just gone by.<BR>
For among these winters there is one so endlessly winter that only by wintering through it all will your heart survive."<BR>
<BR>
I never thought my winter would last six years.<BR>
<BR>
I don't know why I still have you on my mind.<BR>
<BR>
It's all illusory, I know.  But the longing isn't.  The wintering isn't.<BR>
