Sees the whole poem as unified by a series ofcontrasts "between wordliness, publicity, vanity, on the one hand, andprivacy, intimacy, preciousness and sacredness, on the other" (p. 9 1).

Suggests, therefore, thal the contrast is "one of quality, not ofdimen sion" (p. 92). Notes that the word peece (line 3I) should be interpretedas "a piece of work, product of work, production" and that "this fi tsthe logical succession of words suggesting works of art and more particularlyliterary production, which is the meaning common to tombes, hearse,verse, peece ofChrrmicle, sonnets, ltymnes, half-acre tonibes" (p. 93),~ 73, O W I, MARGARET. cd.
