Some cry: “Love me!” Others: “Don’t love me!” But a certain genus, the worst and most unhappy, cries: “Don’t love me and be faithful to me!”
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The passage distinguishes wanting love from rejecting it, then singles out a demand for fidelity without love. The speaker judges that combination especially unhappy. Its contradiction lies in asking another person to remain devoted while also asking not to be loved.
