That poem reeks of selfish pride. To never cry aloud is not a virtue one should seek to attain.

- nichochar 5y agoI always interpreted it as something you summon in hardship. In those moments pride can be a savior (think depression, or recovering from a hard injury). I agree that depending on the context, it can be interpreted differently, and I also accept that poetry will not mean the same thing to everyone.
- elwell 5y agoFair enough; sorry if I was overly harsh.
