Omschrijving
A rigidly-trained Legion of Christ missionary in Mexico falls in love against all the rules and finds himself living out the eternal story of impossible love, in a XX century version of Abelard & Heloise: "Love is incapable of being concealed; a word, a look, nay silence, speaks it. My scholars discovered it first: they saw I had no longer that vivacity of thought to which all things were easy: I could now do nothing but write verses to sooth my passion. I quitted Aristotle and his dry maxims, to practice the precepts of the more ingenious Ovid. No day passed in which I did not compose amorous verses. Love was my inspiring Apollo. My songs were spread abroad, and gained me frequent applauses. Those whom were in love as I was took a pride in learning them; and, by luckily applying my thoughts and verses, have obtained favors which, perhaps, they could not otherwise have gained. This gave our amours such an éclat, that the loves of Heloise and Abelard were the subject of all conversations."Abelard's Letter to Philintus
