Excerpt from Embers: Being a Book of Verses The six sonnets in italics, beginning with The Bride, and ending with Annunciation, have nothing to do with the story further than to show two phases of the youth's mind before it was shaken by speculation, plunged into the sadness of doubt andveal it to itself, transform the character, and give new impulse and direction to personal force and individual sense. These were written when I was twenty and twenty-one years of age, and the sonnet sequence of A Lover's Diary was begun when I was twenty-three. They were continued over seven years in varying quantity. Sometimes two or three were written in a week, and then no more would be written for several weeks or maybe months, and it is clearly to be seen from the text, from the change in style, and above all in the nature of the thought that be tween The Darkened Way, which ends one epoch, and Reunited, which begins another and the last epoch, were intervening years.
