Great Regulars: The speaker says that when she and her belovèd

first met and love began to flower, she did not readily accept that the feelings were genuine; she refused "to build/Upon the event with marble." She questions whether love could endure for her "between/Sorrow and sorrow."

The reader is by now quite familiar with the sadness, pain, and grief the speaker has suffered in her life and that she continues to suffer these maladies.
