Overview
Ten years since the passing away of Ellen, it's the annual reunion of Ellen's friends. We see how everybody has coped in his own way with the loss. Where is the grief now? Where is someone, who died ten years ago? Sonnet 81 is a subtle and poetical portrait about the immortality of our loved ones.
