I made this video for my friends on a smaller website for Valentine's Day, 2014. This is a revamped re-upload of this video.

This entire video is an anthem to love. It took me a very long time to plan, to find the media and images, and to put together in such a way that it will be a joy to whomever watches it.

I have, since, made some small changes to this video in order to make it more personal in nature. I removed the mention of the name of website, as I have since been banned from there. Nonetheless, this video is to be enjoyed by anybody who loves poetry written by the classic poets.

Poets who's works have been featured in this video, include
1. Lord George G. Byron.
2. Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
3. Edna St Vincent-Millay.

Still pictures of Clara Bow, the major silent movie actress, are featured in, "Sorry Seems To Be The hardest Word". Others are featured too, but Clara is the main one I have used.
