We bury love; forgetfulness grows over it like grass: that is a thing to weep for, not the dead

We bury love; forgetfulness grows over it like grass: that is a thing to weep for, not the dead

In the poem "A Life Drama" by Alexander Smith, the line "We bury love; forgetfulness grows over it like grass: that is a thing to weep for, not the dead" speaks to the idea that the loss of love and the fading of memories can be more painful than death itself. Smith explores the theme of love and loss throughout his work, often reflecting on the transient nature of human relationships and the inevitable passage of time.
