Lovesick Miss You Ecards

     In a deserted, run-down house stands a cup in which dust has been accumulating for several years. What if this dust were actually the ashes of a broken-hearted lover who had been burned to cinders by the proud eye of a haughty, unreceptive girl on whom he had fixed his affections?

     With considerable variation, this is the imaginative message that you will read in “The Hour Glass,” a poem by Ben Jonson, a younger contemporary of William Shakespeare. And you may read this poem in the “lovesick miss you” cards of passionup.com.

     A lonely heart of a separated lover or rejected suitor will express itself in wistful thoughts and words of longing.  Unfulfilled romance does not generate cheer, but aching passion that bellows like a tethered bull.
