Meditations from Plague

In the Plague there is a small passage about young lovers. Because a curfew has been established into the city, the young lovers were stuck in different cities without any contact with each other. While the world around them was crumbling, everybody was dying, things were in deep grief. The young lovers were lost in the world of their own. This is so true of love, the world and the pain of the world becomes a backdrop for ones of emotions. Cut off from everything outside.
