XXIV. "show me love, hold the lorn"
He will not love again; of this he is sure. He had reached out for a taste of forbidden fruit, and lost all. No, the feeling has lost its place in his heart; it has been and shall remain an emotion he reserves only for her – and she is gone. But he will honor her memory – after all, she felt something beautiful for him and let his mind soar unto new heights of creation.
He will be lonely; she has made it so, and since he cannot have her, this is what he wants.
