"A short, romantic journey in terza rima, inspired in part by Robert Browning's 'Meeting at Night'."

Many afternoons, Paul Cantor stood at his office window in the English Department and looked down at the campus below, watching the students walking to their classes, some riding bicycles, others romantically holding hands, some sitting on the benches, or...
"Parting is such sweet sorrow!"
The following days passed in a flash. Jemima tried hard to get me to go with her, even suggesting that we go by sea for the outward leg but, at such short notice, we would not make the flight back...
"An older woman takes a chance and cheats and nothing will ever be the same."
Catherine Emerson met Tom Quimby quite by accident one afternoon when he sat down on the park bench across from her in Rittenhouse Square. This was where she often ate her lunch, usually yogurt with peaches, or strawberries, before returning...
"An older woman takes a chance and nothing will ever be the same."
Catherine barely made the six-forty-five and was glad it wasn’t as crowded as the earlier train. She sat down in her usual seat just as the train bolted forward, then picked up speed. Catherine looked at her reflection in the...
