| Evidence: | 'I have received my desk today [shipped from England] & have been reading my letters to mine own Shelley during his absences at Marlow. What a scene to recur to! My William, Clara, Allegra are all talked of - They lived then - They breathed this air & their voices struck on my sense; their feet trod the earth beside me - & their hands were warm with blood and life when clasped in mine'. |
