Painful truth of the depths someone might feel towards the loss someone they love. Sad really, terribly sad - but also, shines a light on the struggle of being human. We are all of us, temporary, and we are all of us forever connected to the universe. Beautiful poem!
These lines, OR SIMILAR, are also found in "The Ascent of F6: A Tragedy in Two Acts," by W. H. Auden and Christopher Isherwood. I'm familiar with, and a fan of, a spoken word version presented on KPFA in Berkeley, Ca in the 1970s (but am unable to find and would like to...), and they collaborated with Benjamin Britten on a musical version:
My partner's father passed yesterday morning. Here's to you, Joe. Thank you for this, E.R., and to the universe for the synchronicity.
I've always felt that this poem by Auden truly expresses the all-encompassing, deep grief felt at the loss of a particular loved one.
