The Happily Hidden Heart

The play's poetic epilogue, which Nelly recites, foreshadows her doomed affair with Dickens: "This is a tale of woe, this is a tale of sorrow, a love denied, a love restored to live beyond tomorrow. Lest we think silence is the place to hide a heavy heart, remember to love and be loved is life itself, without which we are naught."

Reminds me of when Coldplay sings of the heavy heart:

"My song is love
Love to the loveless shown
And it goes on
You don't have to be alone
Your heavy heart is made of stone
And it's so hard to see you clearly
You don't have to be on your own
You don't have to be on your own"
