Porque una siempre vuelve donde fue feliz

"Long have I known a glory in it all,
But never knew I this:
Here such a passion is
As stretcheth me apart,—Lord, I do fear
Thou'st made the world too beautiful this year;
My soul is all but out of me,—let fall
No burning leaf; prithee, let no bird call."

"Am I kin to Sorrow,
That so oft
Falls the knocker of my door—
Neither loud nor soft,
But as long accustomed—
Under Sorrow's hand?
Marigolds around the step
And rosemary stand,
And then comes Sorrow—
And what does Sorrow care
For the rosemary
Or the marigolds there?
Am I kin to Sorrow?
Are we kin?
That so oft upon my door—
Oh, come in!"

DNFing... im just reading words... some of the poems were nice, but not for me.

A Few Figs From Thistles is this far my favorite collection from Millay.

Blight
Is this poem about a grudge/hate that we want to embolden but with time loses its strength and dies?
