Other notes to the text:
1) The Charlotte Cushman referred to in several poems is most likely Charlotte Saunders Cushman, an American actress, 1816-76.
2) In "The Hard Times in Elfland", the last line of the 50th stanza read in the original as:
"Thus we become the sport of Fate."
This has been changed to:
"Thus we became the sport of Fate."
This is because, in context, the past tense seems to fit better, and therefore this change allows the text to flow better. It should not alter the content in any meaningful sense.
3) Several mentions are made in this text to Shakespeare. The variant spelling `Shakspere' was originally used in some occurrences.
