Puisi Lonard Cohen tentang kenangan indahnya di Hydra bersama wanita dan anak si wanita, yang sangat ia cintai:
What I loved in my old life
I haven't forgotten
It lives in my spine
Marianne and the child
The days of kindness
It rises in my spine
and it manifests as tears
I pray that loving memory
exists for them too
the precious ones I overthrew
for an education in the world
Saya bingung dengan dua baris terakhir: the precious ones I overthrew,
for an education in the world... Di sini yang dia "overththrew" itu apa, ya? Kalau dia membuang kenangan indah tersebut, kok kontradiksi dengan baris2 di atasnya?
Trims...

meninggalkan
Dari yang saya baca, interpresi saya adalah bagian akhir itu mengandung implikasi rasa penyesalan Leonard karena meninggalkan Marriane dan anaknya.
Jadi to overthrow sama halnya dengan kata kerja to throw over https://comparewords.com/overthrow/throw (lebih lengkapnya "to throw over somebody FOR somebody/ something else").
Maka, "ones" merujuk kepada "Marriane and the child" dan "them". Jadi, Leonard MENINGGALKAN keduanya DEMI / karena ingin fokus meniti karirnya.

campakkan
I agree completely with Mas Khoirul's interpretation of the poem about the author being regretful over his past deed. Here I just try come up with another word-choice 'campakkan' for 'overthrow'.
Overthrow has a strong connotation of throw something completely, until it is over, for something else. Hence, I choose 'campakkan'.
the precious ones I overthrew = dua permata hati (Marianne and the child) yang kucampakkan
for an education in the world - demi (mengejar) pendidikan di dunia
