    Well Well, whether because of the hurting light or because of anxiety, AJP’s eye are squinting,

    And then we are washed away and become universal matter.

    In my opinion, “I do not think that they will sing to me” is one of the saddest lines in poetry…

      I disagree: I think the saddest line is “Shall I part my hair behind,” especially as Julian draws it here. Ouch! 🙂 Joking aside, though, this is a very melancholy stretch.

        This could be an interesting parlour game: What are the saddest lines in poetry? I’ve long found the last two lines from Robert Browning’s “Youth and Art” one of the most heartbreaking: “This could but have happened once, /And we missed it, lost it for ever.”
