Above all else, this is a powerful allegory of a man's love for his wife. A love that would only grow stronger as the years past. A love that would inevitably end where all great love does, with death. But, through all the difficulties of the journey, Axl would succeed in leading Beatrice to Avalon. As a senior, journeying with his Beatrice, Axl is my guide! An inspiring, bittersweet masterpiece!
