They Loved Each Other
They Loved Each Other - meaning Summary
Love Hidden by Pride
The poem describes two people who secretly love one another but never confess it. Their mutual pride or fear makes them behave as enemies, and that refusal to acknowledge feeling leads to emotional ruin. They eventually part, living on only in dreams and memories. Even after death their failure to recognize or admit love leaves them isolated and unaware, suggesting tragic consequences of missed connection and stubbornness.
Read Complete AnalysesThey loved each other, but neither Would admit to the other they could: As enemies, they saw each other, And almost died of their love. In the end, they parted and only Saw each other sometimes in dreams: It was long ago they had died, But they scarcely knew it, it seems.
