i find no peace


<---Sir Thomas Wyatt~
This poem is about the feelings this man is having inside. It seems to me like they are hidden feelings, he acts normal but on the inside something is eating him alive. He is done with it but there has been no solution, no positive outcome. He burns mad but feels cold as ice, maybe like he's been abandoned left out in the cold. He's so full of sorrow he cannot get up but mentally is flying. What has kept him close has entrapt him. But now that the grip has loosened he can't get away, he's stuck there, mentally or physically? I wonder what the line "with out eyen I see, and without tounge i plain" means? Maybe he "wasn't" seeing this woman it was a secret love, so he couldn't talk about her or even look at her when other people were around. To me it seems he could be a married man and there are two sets of feelings. The ones he has about loving another, that's where he burns and freezes like ice, he can not arise, he finds no peace. Maybe he got a divorce for this other woman, maybe that's why the "war is done" but he finds no peace because he has wronged his wife. The "death" of his marriage and the "life" with this new woman. He thought he would be happy with this new woman that's why his "delight is causer of this strife".
