About the poem
Firstly,Edna creates here the major theme:time. It is true that we forget
about him/her with the passing of time. But it remains forever. Recently i
have lost my grandfather. He was very close to me. But i know,he will be in
my mind,my heart ever & forever. I have read this poem. I like it.

I first discoverd this poem a few months after my dearly loved husband of
28 years left me for another woman. I had recorded a programme about poetry
and there it was. I remember playing and replaying the programme until I
had the poem by heart... how sad am I! 8 yaers later I am still lonely and
this poem still talks to me. I don't think it's about death as others do,
but that's my opinion and if this sonnet sums up how desolate you feel as
it does for me then that's good. Would that I had never been able to
understand the feelings it conveys!

When my husband first died I became obsessed with wanting time to fly so
the pain I felt would stop, but what I now realize is the longer you go
without seeing a loved one the more you ache for their presence.
That's exactly what this poem is saying - that even avoiding things you've
shared doesn't help because his absence is preset everywhere. This poem is
equal to Huxley's "Stop all the clocks" for a powerful description of loss
and the conviction that "nothing now can come to any good".

At last I have found the words to express my anger (anguish)when a
well-meaning acquaintance says time will heal the pain of losing my son. 2
years later the pain is still so intense that it is better not to think of
him at all! How I long to show this wonderful
poem to those people! Especially the line "And entering with relief some
quiet place Where never fell his foot or shone his face -----And so stand
stricken, so remembering him!"

I loved this poem. I felt the pain and sorrow that this author put into
this. To remember something you wish not to can hurt a lot.
