And the grey gentle stones, with rain still sweet.


So for nine days I suffered this man’s curse,

And lived with him, and lived his life, and ached;

And this vicarious suffering was far worse

Than my own pain had been.... But when I waked,

His pain, my sorrow, were together flown;

My grief had lived and died; and the sun shone.

There was a woman lived by Bloomsbury Square—

She is no more to me; I could not sorrow
