Translated by W. S Merwin. The poem centers on heartbreak and memory, capturing the tension between emotional closure and lingering attachment. It presents love and loss as cyclical, with repetition emphasizing the speaker’s inability to fully move on as masterfully expressed in the powerful line "Love is so short, forgetting is so long."
