Call me a romantic but I have always seen the fact that Muriel would not
allow publication of the poems as a sign of her still grieving for her
husband.  Perhaps they were a reminder of his deep sensitivity of perhaps a
source of his social ineptness.  I have given this some thought over the
years and I never thought of financial gain as one of her motives.
