Loneliness

Because of our human bond in feeling, the narrative of an individual in a poem can be the narrative of all.  If a poem effectively addresses an experience of joy or suffering it may resonate with  the reader, easing  a depth of loneliness, not possible in the instant communications of social media.  Emily Bronte's poem which begins: " Cold in the earth, and the deep snow piled above thee!" concludes with her not wishing to follow her "Sweet Love of youth" into the grave or to indulge in "Memories rapturous pain:/ Once drinking deep of that divinest anguish,/ How could I seek the empty world again?"

Loneliness is an experience many say they feel now that the Residents of Verena Independent Senior Living has complied with Governor Northams state ban
on businesses and we are not supposed to leave our apartments. The newspapers are saying that there is an increase in mental health problems.
Coping with isolation is a new thing for many.
