Bleak Mid-Winter of the Soul
ADELAIDE PROCTER, whom Christina admired but did not fear as a rival, died early in 1864, lovingly nursed and mourned by Bessie. Christina herself fell sick, with what she described to Barbara as ‘a fit of illness’ that kept her ‘languid and much at home’ and William called ‘a period of spiritual depression’. Within and without, all was wintry:
What would I give for a heart of flesh to warm me through,
Instead of this heart of stone, ice-cold whatever I do!
Hard and cold and small, of all hearts the worst of all.
