Cheek press'd to cheek, there in sweet ecstasy we,
Falling asleep under the old locust-tree,
Smiling in dream, seem in a heaven to live,
For such a night who his whole life would not give?


~ Mihai Eminescu, "Eve On The Hill"
(1885, Translated by P. Grimm)
read about this eternal embrace recently unearthed in italy.

I saw this too this morning! I can't wait to see if they find out who they were and what their story was.

And I really hope they are embracing and that the skellies just didn't shift that way.

it does appear that they are really embracing ~ it's definitely a powerful image! i don't know whether they will learn the whole story, but it's a wonderful thing to conjecture about.

Did you look at the slide show? There are other photos where you can see their legs, and they are all spooned together. It's really sweet.
