That feeling of love is beautifully filmed by Jane Campion pure! Utopian and also outdated, you might say, but is it not comforting to believe for two hours ...
The title was inspired by a love poem written by John Keats to Fanny Brawne on the flyleaf of his collection of works by Shakespeare
BRIGHT star! Would I Were Steadfast as Thou Art - Not in lone splendor
hung aloft the night,
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like Nature’s patient sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth’s human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors -
No - yet still steadfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow’d upon my fair love’s ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever - or else swoon to death.
