Indeed if the own brother committed suicide while she was still alive, then she started thinking and this poem was born surely. Most deserving as The Classic Poem Of The Day.

And widen, so, the broad life-wound Which soon is large enough for death. That conclusion is just fantastic. A poem that probes into man's relationship with the misty mysterious where words look like angels conveying transcendental meanings.
