When we two parted by George Byron

George Byron - 1788- 1824.
Lord Byron is English poet. A leading. Figure in romanticism.  The poem is of a man missing his love and poet talks about passing event and current feelings. It is written in first person. We can think the writer is telling us his life.something he has live. The poem shows us sad hero with troubled past with an impossible love.
In this poem silence symbolizes separateness ,death, loneliness, without having anybody or anything.tears symbolizes the pain, suffering and loss of something. It is a love story. Between man and woman. The man hates women because she left them. The man can have heart broken because he loves her completely and he would do anything for her and can have heart broken because she left him and he will. Never see her again.
They will separated. For years but not forever,so may be deep in his heart still think there is a possibilities to meet eachother again in future.when they two parted her cheeks was pale and cold but her kisses were much colder. These two lines means that. She is dead or her kisses were cold because she had no feelings about it.that pain and loneliness he felt at that moment was an announcement of how he would feel in future.
she was married broken vows refer to broken promises. When you marry somebody you must be faithful and she broke promise having affairs with Byron.she is a lucky because her husband does not know and now she can continue with her marraige as if nothing had happened.where as Byron is left with nothing.
Byron asks himself how he should greet her if he met her again after all these year. The answer is with"silence and tears".the poet remembering the moment in which he lost his love and tries to express how he feels now.it is confirm in the poem that nobody could see them together and that. Is the reason why they can not tell anyone that they were lovers probably because there is prohibited love.we have thought that lover of the poet is not with him. She is dead but in 4 lines the poet talks about may be his arrival in hell or heaven or may they meet at someplace.may be he would be received or greet his lover after long time with the same they both were parted.
silence and tears may be because when they parted from each other they only had silence to feel and tears to express. The poet has manshion about tears more successful in expressing feelings than words. Sometimes word may fail to express what we excatlly feel but it never happen tears and that is reason why poet chose silence and tears to end this poem.
The poet focuses on the idea of using only. Ones own means to servile leaving completely alone but he does not make it seem boring or melancholy. The various techniques that the poet uses such as uniform stanza. A predictable and simple language makes the poem even more.
