“At length they all to merry London came,
To merry London, my most kindly nurse,
That to me gave this life’s first native source;
Though from another place I take my name,
An house of ancient fame.”

with words for deprivation
images so familiar
it is hard to crack language open
into that other country
the country of being.”
