Question

THEY’VE TORTURED ME AND LEFT ME

They’ve Tortured Me and Left Me

In miserable state,

Some of them with their loving,

The others with their hate.

The wine I drank they poisoned,

Poisoned the bread I ate

Some of them with their loving,

The others with their hate.

But she who more than any.

Tortured me, gave me gall,

She never even hated,

Nor ever loved at all

THE FERVENT FLAME OF SUMMER

The fervent flame of summer,

Lies in your lovely cheek;

But in our heart the winter

Lies cold and old and bleak;

All this will change, my precious,

And sooner than you seek:

The summer in your heart dear

The winter in you cheek.

Answer 1

THEY’VE TORTURED ME AND LEFT ME strikes me as a poem that well contrasts the depths of evil between assassins.  It seems that some channeled conventional hatred into devious acts.  But still another had a more frightening source of deviance:  she never loved him in the first place; an elaborate ruse disguised death for the untimely end of the protagonist.

THE FERVENT FLAME OF SUMMER highlights the writer's internal views as plots and plans are made to turn the social dynamics of a personal relationship completely inside out.  It would seem the writer is proactively making this turn in a startling upset to the other's vision of the "end game."

Answer 2

'Kay.

The first one is saying that however badly he was treated or hurt by all the people that loved or hated him, the worst thing was this girl (presumably that he loved) who didn't really even know he was alive.

The second is a statement of the transience of life, which passes so quickly we must enjoy it while we can... Now you're young, but you don't value it enough... Later, when you know more about life, and value it, it'll be almost gone. Youth is wasted on the young sort of thing.

Hope that helps. Luck!
