“I have not considered as ghost-poems anything but poems which related to the return of spirits to earth.n The ‘The Blessed Damozel,’ a poem of spirits in heaven, ‘La Belle Dame Sans Merci,’n whose heroine may be a fairy or witch,n and whose ghosts are presented in dream only, do not belong in this classification;n nor do such poems as Mathilde Blind’s lovely sonnet, ‘The Dead Are Ever with Us,’ class as ghost-poems; for in these the dead are living in ourselves in a half-metaphorical sense.n If a poem would be a ghost-story, in short, I have considered it a ghost-poem, not otherwise.”n (Excerpt by Margaret Widdemer)n
