St. Valentine's Day

Whenever LK and I are apart, I always forget about Valentine's Day when the day swings round. I was so busy today worrying about that damn tongue and my thesis turn-in date (today) that I forgot about the occasion until I went to Google.

Of course, LK had messaged his Valentine last night wishing her a happy day, and she promptly forgot the next morning - it's all because of the time difference that I get these things screwed up.

Go seek her out all courteously
And say I come,
Wind of spices whose song is ever
Epithalamium.
O, hurry over the dark lands
And run upon the sea
For seas and lands shall not divide us,
My love and me.

Now, wind, of your good courtesy
I pray you go
And come into her little garden
And sing at her window;
Singing: The bridal wind is blowing
For Love is at his noon;
And soon will your true love be with you,
Soon, O soon.
