Background:
“Andersen fell in love frequently. He was a Romantic fellow of the first water. Although he was besotted with Lind and they were even friends, the tale is told that when he asked why she could not return his love, Lind handed a mirror to the strange and repulsive looking author. ‘She Handed Me A Mirror’ is [a] song for any misfit in love with an unattainable woman.” — elviscostello.com, March 23, 2009. |
