Who’s Ed? It doesn’t matter
Inscription found in The Completed Illustrated Shakespeare in someone else’s house (it’s like finding the scarf of a deceased relative, isn’t it?):
“Ah yes, I miss you.
But I don’t lament
and my sadness is not the kind
that I would do away with.
For all my memories of you
are good, and they linger sweetly.
I will watch for you
in all that is like you,
and I hope you see me
in much that you see.
Someday, or many days, or perhaps
never, we will meet again
and not miss each other
for a little while.
You know the rest –
I love you
- Ed”
