Line 13-18:
And when we were children, staying at the archduke's,
My cousin's, he took me out on a sled, And I was frightened. He said, Marie, Marie, hold on tight. And down we went. In the mountains, there you feel free. I read, much of the night, and go south in the winter. Additional info: According to Eliot (1971), this scene is drawn from a converstion between Eliot and the Countess Marie Larisch of Bavaria. A similar scene is found in Larisch's memoir, My Life. |
