Kiss me with rain on your eyelashes, come on, let us sway together, under the trees, and to hell with thunder.
Interpretation
This quote expresses a deep romantic longing to connect intimately with someone amidst nature's elements.
In this quote, Edwin Morgan evokes a vivid image of a romantic encounter where the beauty of nature enhances the emotions of love. The reference to being kissed by rain symbolizes a desire for passionate connection, while the invitation to sway together under the trees suggests a shared experience that transcends challenges, such as the 'thunder' that represents life's obstacles. It captures the essence of love being powerful enough to make one disregard the turmoil around them.
In practice

When you go, if you go, And I should want to die, there's nothing I'd be saved by more than the time you fell asleep in my arms in a trust so gentle I let the darkening room drink up the evening, till rest, or the new rain lightly roused you awake. I asked if you heard the rain in your dream and half dreaming still you only said, I love you.

Only love and death will change all things.
I don't particularly believe all love is doomed. But I guess, one is usually kinda suffering from some aborted love affair or association, rather than being at the peak of one. I think it's fairly obvious that a lot more suffering goes on in the name of love than the little happiness you can squeeze out of it.
The battle for our hearts is fought on the pages of our calendar.
