Regeneration Comments

I love this poem, but I do not understand it entirely. Who are 'they'? Should there be a semicolon after 'turning'? I think this poem is about a woman ending an abusive relationship and beginning regeneration with new hope while carrying a legacy of sorrow that can never be entirely forgotten. I think the last stanza is quite remarkable and leaps from the unconscious mind into the concious mind. The entire poem really is full of powerful images and leaps of the imagination of the sort characteristic of William Blake my favorite poet. Hats off to you for writing such a fine poem. Sincerely, William
