.... and dark like the breakdown of the relationship. In “A Winters Tale” Lawrence uses a similar verse-craft to Scannel in “An Anniversary” with the relationship being described as a field but he still uses people in the poem to describe the people in the relationship. Lawrence also uses ‘Pathetic Fallacy’ as he describes a cold winter’s day when the relationship broke down.
