The Imagist Anthologies were published in England by Constable and Company, but after the American editions, which were the first.

To the second Imagist Anthology Mr. Lawrence contributed five poems: “Erinnyes;” “Perfidy;” “At the Window;” “In Trouble and Shame;” “Brooding Grief.” These poems occupy pages 67-74. All but “Erinnyes,” most beautiful of war poems, were later included in Amores. Any one of the many anthologies of war poetry might have enriched itself greatly by including “Erinnyes.” If any such collection did make use of this poem, I am unaware of it.
