The Lady’s Dressing Room by Jonathan Swift. Love triangle. A love triangle (also called a romantic love triangle or a romance triangle) is usually a romantic relationship involving three people.
While it can refer to two people independently romantically linked with a third, it usually implies that each of the three people has some kind of relationship to the other two. The relationships can be friendships, romantic, or familial (often other siblings). "Although the romantic love triangle is formally identical to the friendship triad, as many have noted their actual implications are quite different....Romantic love is typically viewed as an exclusive relationship, whereas friendship is not.

Detectives use it to deduce who's the likeliest suspect in a murder case -- you know, the butler did it. Doctors use it to determine the illness behind a set of symptoms. This line of reasoning is called Occam's razor. It's used in a wide variety of ways throughout the world as a means to slice through a problem or situation and eliminate unnecessary elements.

However, one of the key things that Occam's razor reveals is the subjectivity with which we view the universe. From Dawn to Dawn - Sixty Troubadour poems in a new freely downloadable translation. This personal selection of Occitan poetry is of verse that I feel has true poetic merit, and nothing is included solely for its historic interest.
I considered a simple prose or free verse translation of these poems, but to show the Troubadours without their rhyme schemes, their form, seemed to me too great an admission of failure.

He was the son of one of the Muses and a Tracian prince. His mother gave him the gift of music and Thrace where he grew up fostered it. The Thracians were the most musical of the peoples of Greece. But Orpheus had no rival there or anywhere except the gods alone. In the deep still woods upon the Thracian mountains Orpheus with his singing lyre led the trees, Led the wild beasts of the wilderness.
Everything animate and inanimate followed him. When he first met and how he wooed the maiden he loved, Euridice, we are not told, but it is clear that no maiden he wanted could have resisted the power of his song. With my song I will charm Demeter's daughter, I will charm the Lord of the Dead, Moving their hearts with my melody. Storyteller Greek Myths "Orpheus and Eurydice" Types of Poem Forms - Alba Poems.
Depending on which source you consult, Alba poems (aka Aube, Aubades, or Morning Love Songs) are claimed to have originated by several different cultures.

For those not familiar with the term “Occitan” it refers to a number of Romance language dialects that were (and still are to a lesser extent) spoken in Southern France, Italy (Occitan Valleys), Monaco, and Spain’s Val d’ Aran regions.
