I remember watching an intervie on tv years ago. I cant remember who the interview was, just that it was a woman. She was interviewing Dame Cicely Courtnedge then aged about 70. The interviewer asked her y she had never married, Dame Cic said that she had been engaged when she was 16 to Rupert Brooke but that he had been killed on the Somme. The interviewer then asked again, y she had never married and Cic replied that, as she had said, she had been engaged but he had been killed. The interviewer then asked why she had never married later. Dame Cic looked at her in astonishment and said in a voice reserved for people who have just said something very silly ” my dear, there was only one Rupert Brooke”.
Thats Love.

Do you know what love is at 16?

I’m torn between asking “Why not?” and “Can you ever?”
I can understand what Dame Cicely meant, and in one way totally agree with her while simultaneously wondering if it’s too far-fetched and if this many-splendoured thing is just wishful thinking.
I guess it depends what do you mean by love?
I love my kids, my family and my friends but it’s not like being ‘in love’ even though it’s passionate and lasting. Some people can separate love from even the most passionate sex, some cannot separate love even from bad sex. One word is probably too limiting.
What is the ‘love’ that you think it might be difficult for a 16 year old to know Kenty?
Her love must have been so intense its as if she would not allow the healing process to take place. Clinging to the pain, afraid to let it go as though that would signal the end of her love for that person, the end… so final.
But a broken Heart does heal.. she just didnt allow it to. So sad :(
Maybe some just learn to live with a broken heart.
Or maybe it healed but no-one ever quite lived up to her lost love…
I have spoke to quite a few elderly women that had lost their loved ones in WWII…….. who never married……….I wonder if there are women like them today that have lost their loved ones in the Falklands or the Gulf War that are exactly the same and wont marry?
