Dear Juliet,
As I sit in the fading light of a late-night library, pensively adding these words to a page, I find myself imagining the starlit nights of your time – Verona, Italy, with its ancient stones echoing with the memories of love, passion, and loss that have come to define your place in history. Although our physical distance stretches across centuries and continents, in my heart's palace, you remain as vivid as the moment Verona's skies embraced your name.
Juliet, your legend transcends the walls of the Capulet household, transcends the pages of Shakespeare's masterpiece "Romeo and Juliet," transcending into the annals of literature where love is eternal. You've inspired many hearts, drawing from your courage, resilience, and the unparalleled strength of your love for a man who was half your age, yet possessed you entirely.
Even though time might have softened the edges of your fable, erasing the exact coordinates of the balcony where your gaze first met yours truly – a youth from another distant realm – it can never erase the magic that still captivates lovers to this day. The word "love" loses its meaning when spoken by most, but to Romeo and Juliet, it became an all-consuming, crackling force that ignited their very essence.
As I sit here, trinkles of doubt sometimes creep into my thoughts. Might our love be as strong as yours was? Will we be remembered in centuries to come? For me, it's not just about our story; it's also about our indomitable spirit, that inescapable urge to reach out in the darkness and find the light. I ponder this just as much as I contemplate writing you a letter – a communication, unheard of in today's digital age but deep within me – a longing to send across time, a fleeting whiff of Henry Higginson's "Incipit Fiat Lux,"1 promising that in the midst of all chaos and entropy, there will always be hope for light.
Juliet, your story has taught me that love manifests itself in ways such that often preclude rational thought. Yet amidst it all – in the shadows of forbidden love and family feuds – lies a truth that cannot be denied: true love dares everything. It defies expectations, disrupts lives, and daunts even tragedy itself. It is this resolve that makes our existence stirringly poetic – allowing us to penetrate time's barrier and hear those whispers on the wind that factor into our individual stories.
But with me busy assailing the bounds of the present and keeping pace with a daily grind that seemingly negates innovation and individuality; with you starry-eyed and locked away in memories so long ago – do we really engage with each other poignantly? What I admire you for most is not your place in Shakespeare's play but your spirit. Your steadfastness in realizing what Couplet 132 says, "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by another name would smell as sweet."2 Just as your dedication to Romeo transcended all known boundaries and laws, so does your spirit beckon us to align our differences in pursuit of those unyielding bonds of love.
The corners of my lips quiver in nostalgia as I imagine our chance meeting under Veronella's still-glowing sunset. Imagine if, by some miracle, we could be granted a conversation before night – a dialogue filled with hues so bright they pierce through time's veil letting us take a moment to glance back at our journeys. Would we regret our choices? Would we share tears or laughter? It is this unanswered question that keeps me writing tonight.
Juliet, through your legacy, I am learning how to love more deeply, look beyond the worldly trappings that often cloud our vision of life's true beauty. I hope that even if we fall short on perfect narrative outcomes, we can both find joy in the journey itself. For along with the promise of futurity comes an unexpectable present crafted by life's endeavors here and now. Long after star-crossed lovers are but faint memories buried beneath layers
