Under the burden of solitude,

the weight, the weight we carry is love.”

“…burdened with the unbearable weight of ourselves.”

“Grief can be a burden, but also an anchor. You get used to the weight, how it holds you in place.”

(1852–1940) American poet
The Man with the Hoe and Other Poems (1899), The Man With the Hoe (1898)
Context: Bowed by the weight of centuries he leans
Upon his hoe and gazes on the ground,
The emptiness of ages in his face,
And on his back the burden of the world.
Who made him dead to rapture and despair,
A thing that grieves not and that never hopes.
Stolid and stunned, a brother to the ox?
Who loosened and let down this brutal jaw?
Whose was the hand that slanted back this brow?
Whose breath blew out the light within this brain?
“And entreating his exalted weight,
Under the stars, saints he planted.”
Taliesin
(534–599) Welsh bard
