Quote by Edmund Spenser

I hate the day, because it lendeth light To see all things, but not my love to see.

I hate the day, because it lendeth light To see all things,

Summary

This quote expresses the speaker's frustration with the daylight, as it illuminates everything except for their beloved. They express a deep longing to see their love and, in contrast, resent the daytime for its inability to reveal that which they desire most. This creates a sense of melancholy and illustrates how the absence of someone they love intensifies their aversion to the light.
