Tinker 402 Described by the author as "the most mature of my works, the one into which my highest convictions of work and art have entered". "The poem is full of beauty from the first page to the last. The opening scenes in Italy, the impression of light, of silence, the beautiful Italian mother, the austere father with his open books, the death of the mother, who lies laid out for burial in her red silk dress, the epitaph, ‘Weep for an infant too young to weep much, when death removed this mother;’ Aurora's journey to her father’s old home, her lonely terror of England, the slow yielding of her nature to its silent beauty, her friendship with her cousin, Romany Leigh, their saddening, widening knowledge of the burden and sorrow of the life around, and the way this knowledge influences both their fates, all is described with that irresistible fervour which is the translation of the essence of things into words – of their very soul into common life." (DNB).
