The concept of the sky collapsing or disintegrating carries significant symbolic significance in both imaginative narratives and the realm of dreams, rendering it a highly powerful metaphor. It stimulates a feeling of imminent catastrophe for individuals who aim to uphold a positive outlook, as it represents the ultimate culmination of all limitations crumbling upon us, weighing heavily on our thoughts. Much like the inseparable connection between the body and the Earth, the sky is intricately intertwined with the domain of the intellect.

Eloquently put, Humbert. For sure sits at the top of many hierarchies.

Making literal the conceit of the sky falling in when love is lost is simple yet brilliant. Prose sparkles as ever...

Re Françoise Hardy: you made the song, now sing it buster.

Thank you for the compliments. As for Hardy, I'm simply the lyricist!

the swoonys. much touched by. THIS:

Toi et moi sommes

Tombés dans le feu

Ou toujours si trove

Notre amour perdu

Mais au face de l'espoir

Je me suis lassé

Quand le ciel se divient

Un ciel cassé
