Introduction, Notes and Bibliography by Dr Bruce Woodcock, Senior Lecturer in English, University of Hull. …
Tell me what is a thought, and of what substance is it made? Tell me what is a joy, and in what gardens do joys grow? And in what rivers swim the sorrows? And upon what mountains Wave shadows of discontent? And in what houses dwell the wretched, Drunken with woe, forgotten, and shut up from cold despair?
