The poet gets the girl<\/a> — and sells the house:<\/p>\n

Our homes are structures, shelters, domiciles. But the idea of a residence encompasses so much more than mere tentage, mere respite from heat and cold and wind and rain and the relentless summer sun. If all we needed was a place to escape the elements, we might just as well live in insulated barns.<\/p>\n

But your home — your residence — is much more than that. It’s love and marriage and family, of course, home and hearth, kith and kin. But at a more fundamental level it is a reflection<\/i> of who you are, an enduring stake stuck into the earth that declares to all: This is who we are, this is what we believe in and stand for and cherish.<\/p>\n

This is not where<\/i> we live, not how<\/i> we live. This structure, this shelter, this domicile — this home — is<\/i> our lives, as much an essential part of what we are as our heads, our hands, our hearts.<\/p>\n

Home is where the heart is? A home like this is the beating heart of lives lived wisely and well.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Like love poetry, if you’re not right there<\/i>, it’s treacle. But for people swept up in the swirling emotions of a home search, this is warm butterscotch syrup for the soul. This is the kind of stuff that puts us completely beyond the reach of the listers we compete against.
