Edward, I've always read that poem as being about mortality and death, and the vital necessity of loving what must die. I don't think she's parroting the "if you love something, set it free..." saying. To me she's going rather deeper. Of course that may be my own peculiar reading.

Regardless, I also very much like this thread. Glad you started it.
