This is a collection of classical and aesthetic romance prose and poems influenced by the styles of Robert Burns, Poe, Byron and W.B. Yeats with topics that range from the likes of tragedy by the sea to 21st century heartbreak; juxtaposing physical and internal passions is the aim- it's a long, winding road and the unknown, it's the seething ocean and resignation to fate, it's valor to melancholy, passionate inebriation and romantic pining, these are the perspectives of a jilted lover.
