AMORIS VICTIMA: 1, by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: He who has entered by this sorrow's door
Last Line: All that I know of love I learnt of you.
Subject(s): Love - Loss Of
First Line: He who has entered by this sorrow's door
Last Line: All that I know of love I learnt of you.
Subject(s): Love - Loss Of
He who has entered by this sorrow's door
Is neither dead nor living any more.
Nothing can touch me now, except the cold
Of whitening years that slowly make youth old;
Hunger, that makes the body faint; one thought
That ends all memory; for the future, nought.
My future ended yesterday; I have
Only a past, on this side of the grave.
For I have lost you, and you fill the whole
Of life now lost; and I have lost my soul,
Because I have no part or lot in things
That were to be immortal: grave-mould clings
About my very thoughts; and love's dead too.
All that I know of love I learnt of you.
