About This Quote

This quote comes from the poem "The Seafarer" by the English poet William Wordsworth. The poem is one of the best known poems by Wordsworth and deals with the emotions and feelings that come with loss and grieving. In this particular quote, he is talking about how we can learn to love and fight for the people we care about most. It is not always possible to return to those we lost.
