This ten-part period drama - adapted from Flora Thomson's memoirs of her Oxfordshire childhood - has picked up strong critical acclaim. The story follows the tale of Laura Timmins (Olivia Hallinan). When a new baby arrives in the Timmins family, Laura is forced to leave the family home and embark on a new life. Having spent her early years in the small hamlet of Lark Rise, in late 19th-century Oxfordshire, Laura finds herself working in the post office, the hub of the bustling market town of Candleford, under the watchful eye of the woman who is to become her mentor, the effervescent Dorcas Lane (Julia Sawalha). The quality ensemble cast also includes Dawn French, Liz Smith and Ben Miles

Came home from seven weeks in NZ to discover all episodes of Lark Rise had recorded on sky box apart from #10. What happened? Did Dorcas sell the PO? - did Adelaide die in childbirth?

The Poem is The Definition of Love
words as follows:-
THE DEFINITION OF LOVE.
by Andrew Marvell
I.
MY Love is of a birth as rare
As 'tis, for object, strange and high ;
It was begotten by Despair,
Upon Impossibility.
II.
Magnanimous Despair alone
Could show me so divine a thing,
Where feeble hope could ne'er have flown,
But vainly flapped its tinsel wing.
III.
And yet I quickly might arrive
Where my extended soul is fixed ;
But Fate does iron wedges drive,
And always crowds itself betwixt.
IV.
For Fate with jealous eye does see
Two perfect loves, nor lets them close ;
Their union would her ruin be,
And her tyrannic power depose.
V.
And therefore her decrees of steel
Us as the distant poles have placed,
(Though Love's whole world on us doth wheel),
Not by themselves to be embraced,
VI.
Unless the giddy heaven fall,
And earth some new convulsion tear.
And, us to join, the world should all
Be cramp'd into a planisphere.
VII.
As lines, so love's oblique, may well
Themselves in every angle greet :
But ours, so truly parallel,
Though infinite, can never meet.
VIII.
Therefore the love which us doth bind,
But Fate so enviously debars,
Is the conjunction of the mind,
And opposition of the stars.

Could anyone tell me the name and poet who wrote the love poem that Laura Timmins and Dorcas sent to Miss Ellison on Thomas's behalf that by a twist of fate, ends up in Sir Timothy's private postbag. I am in a similar situation and would send it to my 'parallel' love.
