Scholarly Commentary
Textual History: Composition
The pair of sonnets is fair copied on the verso and recto of a single half sheet. The text corresponds to the one DGR sent in his letter to F. G. Stephens, and not to the text that was eventually published in 1881. It is in fact the copy that DGR sent to Stephens.
