“She couldn’t leave. Not for anything. She had come to look upon it all, quick and dead, all things alike, as owned by it and owning. She was fiercely attached to it. And of course to Ross. If it was anything for him she was being asked to do, it would be different, but instead, she was expected to desert him. Not until she went there had she lived at all. Though she did not consciously reason so, all the early part of her life was like a dark prenatal nightmare, thought and imagined and feared rather than suffered.” Demelza, Ross Poldark

                             I’d pluck a fair rose for my love, I’d pluck a red rose blowing.                         Love’s in my heart, a-trying so to prove what your heart’s knowing.                                  I’d pluck a finger on a thorn, I’d pluck a finger bleeding.                           Red is my heart, wounded and forlorn, and your heart needing.                                  I’d hold a finger to my tongue, I’d hold a finger waiting.                             My heart is sore until it joins in song wi’ your heart mating.
