"The sections were written at many different places, and as the phases of our intercourse came to my memory and suggested them," he explained. "I did not write them with any view of weaving them into a whole, or for publication, until I found that I had written so many. The different moods of sorrow as in a drama are dramatically given . . . It is rather the cry of the whole human race than mine."from Carol Rumens: The Guardian: theblogbooks: Poem of the week
