Amazing, indeed, Stephen.
Many such stories have appeared on the CBC National News, which sent
correspondents to all the countries affected. But he's wrong, sadly, as
the Canadian Government via some of its embassies also screwed up,
asking people to borrow money to buy passports etc. At first, till it
made the news, till they figured out (it shouldnt have been that hard)
that this was not a normal situation!

The poet is ecstatic, having dreamt of this visit for weeks.
He takes Erato’s face, dribbling and wild, between his hands
and kisses her gently as if she were a runaway teenager.
