Description
A diary written in poetic form almost half a century after the events occurred. For a year and a half while trying to study for a Ph.D. the author was hopelessly in love with the most beautiful girl ever to attend Sheffield University – at least that is how he described her. Encounters from a distance with her luminous and so living brown eyes, and meetings with her in vivid and powerful dreams are brought to expression. The author describes himself as a nondescript encumbered by ’perceived or imagined inadequacies’, hardly able to conceive how such a beautiful woman could return his love.The descriptions carry echoes of Dante’s enchantment with Beatrice; they depict his stormy state of heart and mind, and the youthful absurdity of his actions. He dropped lamely out of university not even having discovered her name. Though never having seen her since, she remained the fairy-tale princess ever vividly present in his heart. For years he lived not having the faintest idea how to trace her. At Christmastide 2019 the thought arose in him that he could write about what he had experienced and send this out into the world – as if it were a message placed into a bottle and tossed into the ocean waves – in the slim hope that someone who knows her might read and place this into her hands.
