First published in 1894 and pruned here by its author, this sequence of sonnets and lyrics traces a love affair as a kind of spiritual diary. It moves from the first vision of the beloved through courage, language, aspiration and meeting to marriage, separation and memory, with a ship coming into port and a returning wraith.
