When Pain Comes to Stay
 

There is a review of a book called "The Body Broken" in the March 25 edition of the Wall Street Journal. The book is about a woman's long battle with chronic pain and how such pain stresses "the body as well as the soul." The woman finally comes to terms with her pain and the review ends by quoting lines from a poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay: "And must I then, indeed, Pain,live with you/All through my life?-sharing my fire, my bed,/Sharing-oh, worst of things!-the same head?-/And,when I feed myself, feeding you too?/So be it then, if what seems true is true:/Let us to dinner, comrade, and be fed."

You can access the review by googling "When Pain Comes to Stay." The author is Lynne Greenberg.
