"The World Is Suffering From a Dearth of Love"

Short but sweet.  Love and poetry are always news.  When I was a student in Spanish Language and Lit, we studied such poems. And I also lived in Spain for a while.  And when I saw my first Iranian film, thirty years later, the first thing that struck me was that Iran was so much like Spain.  Is that not news?  Why not?                     Rosie
