Analysis of Odyssey of Love
George Nurse 1966 (Georgetown)
The future side of someone desired-
Like a sweet soft kiss
On a late autumn night
The gentle crackle of wood burning
The warmth of a fireplace alive
The glow of honey-gold in the light
The frequency and range of a smile
The tenderness of a touch under the full moon’s bright
In a quaint little village
A quell New England town
Sometime in November
