I think I get where you're going with it -- although the Athena reference is a worry, since she was a virgin goddess! Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and all that.

I am not generally a fan of love poetry, because I want it to tell me why THIS love is so much more important than every other love in history -- and the best way to do that is through concrete images that offer the reader little voyeuristic insights rather than sweeping abstractions that don't give us too much to sink our teeth into. Poetry reading is a vicarious sport. We like to watch

Haha I knew that about Athena, but didn't really think about that aspect at all since I was so focused on the wisdom side of her when making that comparison. I guess that's just another reason for Athena to be jealous! Hahaha.. And I get what you mean about this love opposed to every other one in history, that's a good point. I'll work on the balancing those insights and abstractions. Thanks again for the constructive critique
