How we cite our quotes: (Line)
Quote #1
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land; (1-2)
What, people can't talk after death? Maybe. The real idea behind "silent land," however is that death is a total separation. Once somebody dies, good luck ever communicating with them again. No fun, we know.
Quote #2
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay. (3-4)
The word "stay" is really important here. Sure the speaker is talking about something happening previously, but the word makes us think of staying behind—staying alive. This idea will become more important later when the speaker talks about a "vestige" (12).
Quote #3
Remember me when no more, day by day,
You tell me of our future that you plann'd: (5-6)
The speaker's beloved will no longer "tell" the speaker about their future; he will be silent, in other words. This recalls the "silent land" of line 2, and reminds us again that this poem is about death.
