Analysis and comments on Pain In Pleasure by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Comment 2 of 2, added on July 13th, 2009 at 12:01 AM.

Actually when looking further onto it, it seems to me to be about how when at first we think about memories or thoughts which make us happy, they seem so great and amazing. yet the more we remain in this thought, the more we realise that even such a moment of pleasure, was filled with much pain... A sort of cynicism..but that's just me I suppose.

The thought that came to me is that we do not manage our self confidence and that our beginning thoughts about ourselves may be positive but as we let our doubts creep in, our thoughts turn from flowers that are lovely to smell to bees that sting.
