"Witchfinder's holiday"
None but ashes makes this bridge so stern.
I followed, at a distance, till i lost
in hazy waves of thirst
some outcome in the pinkblue dawn.
Say they were friends, who might or might not thrive:
propinquity & gibberish as much,
blown across the heights.
These, among the jests of love.
None but ashes makes this bridge so stern.
"A few months later it was pointed out by the BBC staffer and Elizabethan scholar Mary Edmond that Forman had actually written “brave in her youth” and that the husband’s name was Alfonso. But Rowse persisted to his dying day in the belief that he alone had solved the great literary mystery." —Jonathan Bate via
