This work explores the intricate emotions and relationships between its characters, often touching upon themes of love, loss, and the haunting presence of the past. One prominent character introduced early is Lady Eunice, who grapples with her feelings for her absent husband, Sir Everard, and her connection with Gervase Deane, a wounded soldier she befriends. The opening of this collection sets a tone marked by both beauty and melancholy. It begins with the poem “Figurines in Old Saxe,” where Lady Eunice walks through a garden, reflecting on her opulent but suffocating life as she mourns the imminent loss of her fiancé, who is off fighting in the war. As she engages in her thoughts, the text vividly illustrates her struggle between societal expectations and her yearning for emotional freedom. The subsequent poem, “Pickthorn Manor,” continues to elaborate on Lady Eunice's poignant emotional landscape, showcasing her longing and the tension of her relationships amidst the backdrop of war. Overall, the beginning portion provides a rich exploration of the inner psychological world of its characters, inviting readers to reflect on the universality of their experiences.
