I wept not, so to stone within I grew.

Summary

The quote suggests that instead of succumbing to sadness or despair, the speaker chose to remain strong and unaffected by their emotions. By "not weeping," they metaphorically symbolize their resilience in the face of hardship. Consequently, rather than allowing themselves to be consumed by their emotions and becoming "stone-like" in their emotional state, they made the conscious decision to remain steadfast and composed. This highlights the speaker's ability to detach themselves emotionally, demonstrating their capacity to withstand and withstand difficulty without becoming emotionally inert.

I think I'm a very good reader of poetry, but obviously, like everybody, I have a set of criteria for reading poems, and I'm not shy about presenting them, so if people ask for my critical response to a poem, I tell them what works and why, and what doesn't work and why.
