THE END OF IT by FRANCIS THOMPSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: SHE DID NOT LOVE TO LOVE, BUT HATED HIM
Last Line: HER OWN SELF-WILL MADE VOID HER OWN SELF'S WILL.
Subject(s): HATE;
She did not love to love, but hated him
For making her to love; and so her whim
From passion taught misprision to begin.
And all this sin
Was because love to cast out had no skill
Self, which was regent still.
Her own self-will made void her own self's will.
