I could a tale unfold whose lightest word Would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood, Make thy two eyes like stars start from their spheres, Thy knotted and combined locks to part, And each particular hair to stand on end Like quills upon the fretful porpentine. But this eternal blazon must not be To ears of flesh and blood. List, list, O list! William Shakespeare
About This Quote

When you are divorced, you feel like everything is going wrong. You can’t sleep or eat or do anything without thinking about him, the issues of the divorce and him breaking your heart. In this poem, Christopher Marlowe speaks about a woman who is in the process of being divorced from her husband. He describes how horrible she feels and how she cannot stop thinking about his infidelities and broken promises. The poem ends with a note of hope that her agony may end one day because she is a strong woman who can hold up to the pain and suffering of a divorce.
