Thread Name: Why does the song end like this?-Young Billy Brown
Subject: RE: Why does the song end like this?
Seems there's a lot of protest here that the song "shouldn't have" the ending it does haver, or that the heroine "shouldn't" let herself be infatuated into what looks to you like poor judgment. LE coeur a ses raisons que le raison ne connait pas, and sometimes that raison is more instinctively accurate than all the reasoning in the world. It is certainly not a case where--it being hundreds of years and thousands miles distant through space and time--we have enough data to make an informed judgment in any case!! It's hard enough to be nosy about today's neighbors, let alone ancient folk whose lives we don't even understand!! :D
