    Summary

    Again and again, even though we know love’s landscape
    and the little churchyard with its lamenting names
    and the terrible reticent gorge in which the others
    end: again and again the two of us walk out together
    under the ancient trees, lay ourselves down again and again
    among the flowers, and look up into the sky.

    - Rainer Maria Rilke.

    /

    Odysseus and Penelope meet and fall in love. He goes to war. And, twenty years later, it happens all over again.
