Since I have seen your face

Since I have seen your face at the window , sweet
Love , you have thrown a spell on my heart , my feet
My heart to your face, my feet to your window still
Bear me by force , as if by alien will

O witch of beauty , O circe with innocent eyes
You have suddenly caught me fast in a net of sighs
I look at the sunlight , I see your laughing face
When I purchase a flower , it is you in your radiant grace

I have tried to save my soul alive from your snare
I will strive no more , let it flutter and perish there
I too will snare your body alive , O my dove
And teach you the torture and sweetness of love

When you have looked from the window to the trampling city
Did you think to take my heart and pay me with pity?
But you looked at one who has ever mocked at sin
And gambled with life to lose her all or win.

I will pluck you like a fluttering bird from her nest
You shall lie on love's strong knees , in his white warm breast
Afraid, with delighted lids that will not close
You shall grow white one moment, the next a rose.

Romantic Expressionism

I am a huge Community fan , and being one I'm obviously very involved in the show. Because deep down , I am very geeky and this is a show that celebrates the awkward , popular culture and general 'kookiness'. For instance , the Dungeons and Dragons episode was epic , the Pulp Fiction/ My Dinner with Andre tribute and the Remedial Chaos theory was phenomenal. 
But despite all the above , Romantic Expressionism was my all time favourite episode , Emily Dickinson once said that when she read something or saw something that moved her , she knew it was Art because it caused ripples in her psyche and she would never forget the feeling.( Unless she got Dementia in her old age)


There is a scene where the Study Group discuss the prospect of romantic relationships blossoming between them , because after all it's not exactly incestous because they are in fact not a "real family" and they can date each other. 

Community

Thus the foreshadowing ensues , and they stare each other in what I can only describe as geekly epic , Abed played by actor Danny Pudi is sensational. The prospect of  Annie and Jeff really became a cliffhanger for me after this episode , also the tweepop soundtrack in the background (By Ludwig Goransson) may have something to do with it. In my defence , no one can resist The Weepies. If that's not a romantic moment  what is?

Jeff and Annie

The prospect of a love interest ... with just a reclusive little stare and subtle smile and how similar this line sounds to an alternative rock band lyric(The Smiths , The Killers any other The" Bands") now that's stuff dreams are made of. I'm a little like Abed and I wish life was like Television with a clear script and logical love interests , and most importantly likeable leading men  because in real life dating can be awkward. 
But I have to keep hoping that I'll find that sweet spot - a stare  that expresses exactly how I feel in 3 seconds...

I'll practice my Disney Face in the meantime.

Best Quotes from Romantic Expressionism:

Annie: We haven't even kissed!
Pierce:That doesn't mean you're not having sex.

Shirley: Does anyone get specific about me?
Pierce: Check your e-mail. 
Shirley: I mark you as spam. 
Pierce: Who the hell is Pam?

Jeff:  Fine, okay. I guess we're not really family. It's more complicated than that because unlike a real family there's nothing to stop any one of us from looking at each other as sexual prospects.
