Musical Interlude: I love this song; the balance between humor and a surreal bewilderment captures the realities of my own love life. And the pedigree is remarkable.

"Tell Me the Truth About Love," lyrics by W. H. Auden, music by Benjamin Britten, performed by Jocelyn Freeman.

So soon may I follow,
When friendships decay,
And from Love’s shining circle
The gems drop away.
When true hearts lie withered,
And fond ones are flown,
Oh! who would inhabit
This bleak world alone?
