The Kiss
She got the kiss she hoped for and found it wasn’t enough. Teasdale’s tiny poem isn’t about a bad kiss, but about the kind of person for whom the dream always outshines the real thing.

The Look
Strephon and Robin kissed her in jest and play, and both are gone. Colin only looked, and that look stays. Teasdale’s tiny song makes the unspoken glance outweigh two real kisses.
