Victorians! discussion

As I am, it looks as though most of us are a bit behind, since there's no posting in Week 7 yet, but that's okay. The poem and the threads will still be here as long as people want to keep reading. But I'll post the Epilogue and Poem as a Whole topic on time now in case people are ready to talk about the poem generally.

Thank you for leading this discussion, Everyman, it has been nice to be prompted to read this great poem again.

How do you think the epilogue fits in with the whole poem? I read one review that said the marriage at the end doesn't suit the sombre tone of the rest of the poem.

Do you have any favourite parts or images that stick in your mind?
