About This Quote

A.E. Housman used this quote in his poem "To E. B., Her Husband's Widow" to describe the couple who had lost their child. It is a beautiful and touching poem, but there is more to it than just the loss of a child.

The couple has been orphaned again, and they can create a new home on the other side of the sea - where they live and love and work and care for each other and their new family. This quote captures the idea that we can start fresh and create new lives for ourselves, but we will always carry our past with us.
