概要

 Greg Twemlow explores the profound emotional depth of the prose-poem Platero and I, which depicts the quiet bond between a Spanish poet and his donkey. The author argues that this relationship illustrates a love based on attention and fidelity rather than possession or control. By following an arc from tenderness to death, the narrative reveals how sustained companionship creates a lasting ethical commitment to another living being. Twemlow draws a striking parallel between this century-old literature and John Lennon’s final song, "Now & Then," noting their shared resonance in addressing loss. Ultimately, the text invites readers to embrace a slower, more reverent way of seeing the world and those they love. Both works suggest that while life ends, a devoted connection simply changes address rather than fading away. Read the article.
