Between us stands a double wall which separates our love. In avatar of brick and stone this wall can only slow my ceaseless siege, must crumble like the walls of Jericho, faced with ceaseless trumpet blasts, yes, even softly muted songs of love. Against the stronger wall of will, caressing trumpet airs and mighty blasts alike do naught but echo, bouncing back to pierce my heart. No longer can I cling to hope. You alone have built this cruel dual duenna; you alone can pierce it.
