O Rose, thou art sick!

In the howling storm,

Of crimson joy;
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.
So its about the corrupton of innocence... Im sensing the theme of sex and decay. Glorious evening time reading. Im now thinking of reading T S Elliots stuff again, not because I was remotely intererested in him, but I was mildly facinated in his wife Vivienne, who led an extrodinary life.
If your interested -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivienne_Haigh-Wood
Most noteble quote which says it all "Vivienne ruined Tom as a man, but she made him as a poet."
