Incapable of taking thought for herself, she wanders the length of the coast that has been usually the scene of my verses.The other poem of some length is a species of passion-play called Dear Judas. It seems to me to present, in a somewhat new dramatic form, new a probable explanations of the mythical characters and acts of its protagonists. There is some relationship to the thought between the two longer poems of the book: the shepherdess in the one, and Judas and Jesus in the other, each embodying different aspects of love; nearly pure, therefore undeluded, but quite inefficient, in the first; pitying in the second, possessive in the third.'" ; foxing, else VG/G.
