M.R.+Take+my+hand

This line says:   To  turn to Loneliness, to take her hand  

This line intrigued me because why would someone want to embrace loneliness? Wouldn't you want to bask in the company of others? The whole poem is very dark, but also compelling. This line also has figurative language within it. You can't turn to loneliness, as loneliness does not have a body or a shape. You can't take loneliness' hand because loneliness does not have a hand as loneliness is not a person. In this case, loneliness is a woman because the line directly refers to loneliness as a her. Whomever inflicted loneliness upon the narrator must have been a woman, or maybe the narrator is sympathizing with loneliness since the author is a woman. The whole poem seems to be from the perspective of someone in bed and also that would make sense within context because this line says that the narrator turns to loneliness, which could mean that since the narrator is in bed and can't move, they have to turn their body to face loneliness.
