A magical mini interlude.

I've been listening to the music from the film 'Sense and Sensibility' since going to Prom 2. This is an excerpt from a poem, recited in the film by Alan Rickman.

The Faerie Qveene
Book V, Canto II

Of things vnseene how canst thou deeme aright,
Then answered the righteous Artegall,
Sith thou misdeem'st so much of things in sight?
What though the sea with waues continuall
Doe eate the earth, it is no more at all:
Ne is the earth the lesse, or loseth ought,
For whatsoeuer from one place doth fall,
Is with the tide vnto an other brought:
For there is nothing lost, that may be found, if sought.

Edmund Spenser.

It's a lovely sentiment...
