Commentary
Introduction
“Winter Weather,” the only poem in the January issue of
The Oxford and Cambridge Magazine
, is by William Morris. Critics have noted the similarities between this poem and
“Riding Together”
, which appeared in the May issue. Mackail posits this similarity as the reason “Winter Weather”
was left out of Morris's later works; it is the only one of Morris's poems
in
The Oxford and Cambridge Magazine
that was not included in
The Defense of
Guenevere
(1858) (Mackail, 93).
