signs of affection.

by a wall. And since love always finds its way,
the youngsters discovered a crack in the wall and stood there for hours

whispering vows of love between themselves. “How can a wall be so cruel?” said
Pyramus

“Why does it separate those who are meant to be together?” However, Thisbe
said towards Pyramus that

“Let's not be ungrateful if it wasn't for this small crack, we would not have the
privilege to convey our love to each other's ears.”
