Well i am still sitting here waiting.... waiting for her... I wonder why i have this need to publish this need to wait for the most perfect of muses, my Sophia, my Gaia, my angel of the midnight sun...
I have been listening to Rogue Wave - Publish my Love and again my thoughts turns back to the love letter... and the idea of publishing 'love' or at least proof of love... In the past it seemed quite appropriate that love letters where written on paper with ink that in time will fade or get destroyed... i guess it just follows that most of these feelings will pass as the love letter do... But what of the love letter that survives longer than the people that wrote it or that it was intended for? Something like the Tashma hall, despite the fact that it is a building it still served as proof of love for a queen... is that a love letter in as much as it is a proof of love. I don't wanna get into semiotics to much but as much as a love letter is a signifier of love can the Tashma hall be a signifier of love? And if so can a work of are be a signifier of love?
What happens to the meaning of this signifier once it is put into the public realm??? Will its meaning get lost or popularised to such an extent that it eventually looses its meaning? Or will the meaning survive like the tales of unreturned love that the knights from the the 11th and 12th century strove for???
or
does the love letter like the love song go out into the world and becomes a living breathing entity that carries on living, taking on a meaning of its own??? divorced from the two lovers?
