teasdale is saying that she wants to be loved and to feel all the passion
that goes with love....she also wants to remain her own person and not give
the rest of who she is to anyone....if she were writing in the present day
of womens' lib, many would think this was possible....it may be, it may not
be....she died in the 30's and i think many people today would think she
was ahead of her time but there always were people who had thoughts, many
times hidden, which expressed today's sentiments... most men need women and
most women need men and as long as this remains, which i think is
biological, nothing can really change...

A very sad poem indeed albeit beautfully written with great feeling. It is
indeed surprising to hear that she wrote this on the night before her
wedding day.

I like it so much,it is so sad,sad for "I" and "you" both,If some one said
to you "I am not yours." He does'n love you. A good irony poem.
