EH reflects on,

07/08/47;

since TSE discounted marriage,

30/11/47;

had TSE behaved differently in 1914,

30/11/47;

its new dispensation,

26/10/50;

source of mutual anguish,

13/06/52;

apropos of TSE's second marriage,

11/01/57,

16/01/57;

EH's marriage regret,

03/02/57;

EH recoils from publicising,

18/08/63;

TSE re-evaluates,

25/09/63,

01/10/63;

EH writes to EVE about,

06/11/66;

religious beliefs and practices, claims experience of 'vision',

02/12/30;

admits suffering spiritual crisis,

goes on retreat,

14/06/32;

and TSE's definition of sainthood,

compared to TSE's,

professes to resent the Church,

03/03/36;

makes retreat to Senexet,

14/05/36;

the issue of communion,

the possibility of confirmation,

12/02/37;

source of worry to EH,

confronts TSE on religious differences,

13/09/38;

TSE on her 'Christian spirit',

03/12/40;

fears TSE considers her damned,

22/04/41;

TSE pointedly refrains from criticising,

08/12/41;

unclear to TSE,

16/10/46;

TSE's love for, and their conversation in Eccleston Square,

declared,

in 1915,

and TSE's desire to be EH's spiritual possession,

source of serenity to TSE,

04/02/31;

the strangeness of not broadcasting,

31/03/31;

first felt in 1913,

21/07/31;

recognised by TSE the night of Tristan und Isolde,

21/07/31;

TSE's reasons for not declaring in 1913,

21/07/31;

what TSE said instead of declaring,

a pain of sorts,

unconfided to friends,

01/01/32,

05/09/32;

not immune to jealousy of EH's male friends,

04/03/32;

its passion tempered by religion,

13/05/32;

and the torment of resignation,

26/07/32,

19/11/33;

defiled by possessiveness and anger,

29/01/33;

and a particular journey back from Pasadena,

10/02/33;

in light of California stay,

13/02/33;

increases his desire to quarrel with EH,

14/02/33,

27/02/33;

TSE doubts decision to declare,

27/02/33,

23/01/34;

eternally unconditional,

30/04/33;

shows TSE true meaning of tenderness,

defined by TSE,

violent,

clarified and strengthened by Chipping Campden reunion,

30/07/34,

disquiets EH,

obstructive to EH loving another,

TSE initially relieved to find unrequited,

queered by inexperience,

TSE repents of over-prizing,

17/08/34,

startles TSE, like 'a burglar',

strengthened and deepened,

04/09/34;

irrespective of physical beauty,

22/11/35;

finally reciprocated,

25/11/35;

ideal when unreciprocated,

12/12/35;

relieved only by poetry,

12/12/35,

as against love's travesties,

18/02/36;

as expressed in Burnt Norton,

19/03/36;

over time,

apparently undimmed but dwarfed by war,

07/10/39,

06/09/41,

01/01/43;

and the first time TSE spoke EH's name,

13/07/42;

thwarted by question of divorce,

EH questions,

26/04/45;

now better adjusted to reality,

04/09/46;

argument over communion challenges,

02/11/46;

would run to jealously but not marriage,

03/02/47[n];

as expressed in 1914 on Chestnut Hill,

30/11/47;
