Quote #4
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had (11-12)
Darkness? Corruption? Death is really looking like a monster here don't you think? And yet, despite that, a little "vestige" remains, a little piece of life. Adios, darkness and corruption.
Quote #5
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad. (13-14)
Things get a little suicidal here, that's for sure. The speaker would rather her beloved forget about her than think of her and be sad. She would rather be "dead" to him than know that he's grieving. Sweet?
