No Right Poem [“I was going the road one day”]

In their Variorum Edition of the Poems , Allt and Alspach excluded from the (separately tabled) “Poems not in the Definitive Edition” “poems … that are an integral part of the context in which they appear and that were never published apart from that context” ( VP 641). There were, however, two exceptions to their strict rule, and these included the optional verses to the prose version of The Hour-Glass [“I was going the road one day”]. 1 These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
