All of the poems about Mary are thought to have been written much later in Clare's life,and this led to him idealizing her as a perfect muse. 估計所有關於瑪麗的詩歌都是克萊爾在晚年寫成的，因此，他把她理想化地看作一個完美的繆斯。
You look back on your earlier work, searching through your past ideas, trying to locate your muse, looking for something to trigger a creative explosion. 你回望先前的工作，搜尋過去的想法，試圖找出你的繆斯，尋回能觸發創作靈感的某樣東西。
