It's really left unsaid, Elizabeth Bowen (the author) leaves the reader guessing. It could be the lover who went off to war who she made the promise to or a devil that has come to take her due to breaking the promise she made.
The Promise of Joy was created in 1975.
Think about it. If you make a promise, but can not keep it what good is it ? It is the same with war. If you can promise not to go to war, but are unable keep it then it means little.

I suggest you wear it when you are at least 13. A promise ring is to stay pure (Not have sex) until marriage, and 13 is the appropriate age. :) _________________________________________________________________ A promise ring is not to stay pure, that would be a purity ring. a promise ring is making a promise to get married.
Breaking a promise is when you tell someone you are going to do something, and you PROMISE you will do it. Breaking a promise is not "fulfilling" it, or "doing" it.
You should be sorry about breaking the promise you made. *And also, return the ring because you do not deserve it after breaking the promise .
No, a purity ring simply you will not have s*x until after marriage. Kissing/making out is not breaking that promise.

The opposite is obeying the law.
Promise means when you tell someone you will do something no matter what. And the opposite of promise is a lie when you don't do the promise you made.
