Poems in which I try and make sense of the sentiment of pietà that is not just the English "piety" (faith), but a whole other range of feelings like intense guilt, humble altruism, and steadfast dedication. Other themes reflected in the collection are love, filial affection, compassion, and the writing of poetry itself. Poems appearing in dual language will appear in the original language first. Painting: Orpheus Mourning the Death of Eurydice, Ary Scheffer, 1814
