Ep 14: Does Love Still Exist?
On this episode we explore "True Love", more specifically John Clare and his poem "True Love Lives in Absence". Whilst Clare's own story is far from happy, his poem emphasises the power absence plays in our relationships. We explore love in the 19th Century and how it's changed today and whether "True Love" still exists. So sit back, relax and I'll see you on the next one.
