Summary
"After the fal tor pan, Spock goes to Kirk, who has been unable to come to terms with his grief."
Excerpt
"He comes here every day at this time to be alone. A man has a right to solitude and I have respected his privacy thus far. But today I have followed him down this winding path unable to any longer keep my distance. A cluster of palm trees hide me from sight; trees transplanted from another world. A gift from one desert to another. Brought from Earth by Sarek, to make a Human wife smile. Love has many forms of expressing itself. How long it took me to learn that lesson."
Reactions and Reviews
1987
THE HEART IS FOREVER, has completely left my memory... which says enough about the story! [1]
1994
This story is presented in the first person present tense of Spock. For this difficult, usually unnatural sounding POV, this feels fairly natural.
On Vulcan, after the refusion. Spock is watching Kirk, contemplating... "Tonight will not pass without the heart's truth being spoken." Such strength and immediacy.
A beautiful story; very touching. Words we've heard and said countless times, but so very nicely woven here. Such a quiet scene and so vivid. Spock finally admits love (it is so believable), then the long silence, and when Kirk finally says, "I think I've loved you just as long." Oh! So gentle and so strong.
An exquisite story. [2]
1998
Strong in a simple way. Soft and tender, capturing the soul. I wonder if this author has written other stories because I’d love to get a peak at them.[3]
