  1. Ben – great poem! Love it. Very sweet. One technical question: why is the distance equation equal to 1 over heart? Isn’t that a bit backwards?

    1. I’m not sure I understand. The object of the poem is being set up as a paragon, so that any distance from her would decrease the love. Or to put it another way, as distance to the beloved tends to 0, love tends to infinity.

  2. Oh, Ben, I love this! One of the best illustrations of love and beauty I’ve seen, and spoken in my language.

  3. These two verses are a bit disturbing.

    “my learning is no different // than the learning of machines”

    I am not sure of that. If you put this in Wikipedia, someone would put a [reference needed] tag.

    Very nice poem, anyway.

  4. That is a lovely poem. It captures my feelings about my wife in a way that I’ve never been able to articulate. Thank you.

  5. I’m constantly searching on the internet for posts that will help me. Too much is clearly to learn about this. I believe you created good quality items in Functions also. Keep working, congrats!
