"Perhaps to love is to learn"."Coda" by Octavio Paz
https://readalittlepoetry.com/2005/1...y-octavio-paz/
Wonderful poem!- BritannicaQuote:
Their cottage was changed into a temple, and they became priest and priestess of it. Later the gods granted their wish that they might both die at the same time by turning them into trees—Baucis into a linden, Philemon into an oak. Among literary sources the story is found only in Roman poet Ovid's Metamorphoses.
