The Papers of Rupert Chawner Brooke

Poems first published in the Westminster Gazette and Saturday Westminster Gazette. At some point, these items were brought together and given a single file reference. The items in V20, however, no longer exist as a discrete physical entity, but have been guarded and filed with other loose poems. For reference purposes only, each item has been given a distinct reference number, but all items within V20 will be produced upon request of any item within the file. These items include:

a. SICILIAN OCTAVE 'An evil time came down with fateful feet ...' signed 'Sandro', manuscript transcript by Edward Marsh [22 July 1905, p.6]

b. LATE AT NIGHT 'Is that a knock at my forgotten door? ...'; LATE AT NIGHT 'Did someone knock at my unvisited pane? ...' both signed Mnemon, cuttings [24 Feb. 1908, p.6]
