What happened next has been reported countless times in newspapers, blogs, TV news, reports and shows.Īfter allegedly talking to Emma for 45 minutes, the two cops were satisfied that she was no danger to herself or others, and moved on to other pressing matters. She was talking to two police officers who had been dispatched after an acquaintance called 911 because he was worried about her mental state after spotting her hesitantly standing at a street corner clutching her shoes and looking paranoid.Īfter walking with her, he realized that something was off and went to a nearby café to call for help.

In French, the name Emma sounds like the past simple form of the verb ‘aimer’ which means to love. Kind of stuck between the abstract and the concrete. She seemed to wrestle with handling practical things of life and the strong compulsion to follow her dream and any cosmic sign. Ordinary life and the mystical other world of dreams. Not unlike the glimmering maiden of Yeats, she lived between two realities. When I read this poem, I could not help thinking of Emma Fillipoff because since she vanished in 2012, her family, friends and many concerned citizens are on a life-quest to find her her memory indelible and clouded in mystery.


The life-quest he set himself was to find this girl who called his name before she vanished. With it, he caught a magical silver trout, which was then transformed into a vision of a “glimmering” maiden. It is about an old man reminiscing about an event long ago when he was compelled to go out to cut a branch for fishing. It was first printed in 1897 under the title “A Mad Song.” William Butler Yeats wrote “The Song of Wandering Aengus” in the late 1890s.
