I thought I posted a response to you last night, John. The story was told in a thread called something like "Best Love Songs," one of those I wish I had on my tracer. As I recall, Moore's beloved wife had contracted smallpox and was fearful that the disease would make her ugly in her husband's eyes...a truly beautiful reassurance. Does anyone have that thread on their tracer? It would be a great one to refresh (or perhaps someone could post a link directly to the discussion of the song?).
