The first poem by Shakespeare from what i understood is speaking about love between two people and that its not easily broken or can be easily. That in a way is undoing " between the marriage of two minds ". That although people get old love cannot change and shall not whither away in " brief hours and weeks".
In the second writing by Millay, i believe its a women speaking about her past loves and relations but how now she has none of what she use to. Probably did something wrong and is now all alone wishing she could have that lost love. Something about her must be seriously wrong if all those past loves are just gone now

Good point! If the love in Shakespeare's sonnet is a "marriage of true minds" what type of love is the speaker talking about? Does Millay talk about the same type of love?
