Quote #4
My rags of heart can like, wish, and adore,
But after one such love, can love no more. (31-32)
Oh, don't worry—the speaker will be getting over this heartache right about…never. He claims to be forever diminished by the suffering he's experienced. Does this ring true to you? Especially if you've lost love before, would this be something that you'd say right afterward, or is it true that the suffering caused by losing love forever changes you? We could see a case for either of these possibilities.
