What i understood about this poem is that Millay describes how a person is lost without his/her other half. That person feels lonely and feels unremembered . "Upon the glass and listen for reply/and in my heart stirs a quiet pain" (654). This line means to me that the person awaits a voice or someone to speak to that person because that individual feels empty inside which refers to "my heart stirs a quiet pain".
Good reading. Can you make a connection between how the speaker in Millay's sonnet portrays love and how the speaker in Shakespeare depicts love?
