evangeline

currently reading evangeline by longfellow.
henry wadsworth longfellow.
super duperly busy, but cant get my eyes n mind away from this book.

other than 'the broken wings' by kahlil gibran,
which that book depicts a story from a guy's perspective,
longfellow's evangeline is the best illustration of faithfulness
and the constancy of woman that I have ever read.

'Ships that pass in the night,
and speak each other in passing,
only a signal shown,
and a distant voice in the darkness;
So on the ocean of life,
we pass and speak one another,
only a look and a voice,
then darkness again and a silence.'

isnt it amazing when u can really feel
what they really mean by their writing?

indah.
