This author of "Railway Children" mentioned Diodorus Siculus's "gradual ease" in a poem inspired by the decapitated head of a girl. In another poem by him, a boy fills (*) "jampots" with "jellied specks" before a host of frogs "gathered for vengeance" scare him away. The speaker of a poem by him sees his father crying on the porch and his mother coughing "angry tearless sighs," before describing a coffin that is "four foot" long, "a foot for every year."
