Ans= The poet as well as her mother undergoes abysmal pain
of loss. Her mother suffers the loss of her joyful childhood days whereas the
poet suffers the loss of her mother’s sweet face and laughter. The sense of
loss pricks their hearts much and this is why both of them were fatigued of
trying to overcome that sense of loss.
I have seen many answers to the phrase 'both wry with laboured ease of loss' in the web; but only this answer explains the meaning the whole phrase.
ReplyDeleteHere is a variation:
Both: referring to the situations of bother the mother and the poet (probably she now a mother)
Wry: twisted, entangled
Laboured: done with great effort
Ease: absence of difficulty, doing carefully and easily
Laboured ease: something that demands so much effort to make it easy
Loss: losses in life (here, loss of childhood happiness and also loss of happiness due to family esponsibily)
Both the poet's mother and the poet have been entangled in the effort to make easy (that is to compensate) the loss aquired due to natural family resposibilities as mothers.
