“To mourn twice is excessive. To mourn three times a sin.”

a tumblr post said, “to love someone is to turn around.” orpheus turns to eurydice, eurydice turns to her father. in the end, it is simply a matter of returning to the one you love, even if only temporarily. it is to die twice, mourn three times, to be excessive and sinful, if only to encounter their love once more. 

i do not typically reach for plays, and this struck my heart. i can only hope to be loved like eurydice and, in kind, to traverse hell for my love like orpheus.
