(04-10-2013, 04:04 PM)milo Wrote: "The sky was as lonely as I" is correct. The confusion comes over the /inferred/ verb, a perfectly ok and common practice in poetry. It is clear that "I" is not the object of any verb so the reader assumes the verb "was" to follow making the inferred sentence "The sun was as lonely as I (was)" which is grammatically correct.

Thanks for the clarification.
