The Face and the Dream

For something a bit lighter, one of my favourite poems:


A LONG and frantic search it has been

To find the face to match the dream.
 
Natasha! now that the face is seen,
 
The dream recedes, it would seem.
 
Another frantic search must start apace
 
To find the dream to match the face. 

-Guy Amirthanayagam
