A Final Follow-up to: "All Fled, All Done": Redux on Robert E. Howard's Famous Couplet

In January 2019, I posted on this blog "'All Fled, All Done': Redux on Robert E. Howard's Famous Couplet", which mostly sorted out the inspiration of Howard's famous couplet as coming from a poem by Viola Taylor (later Viola Taylor Garvin). I reproduced the publication of the poem from 1912, and noted that it had probably first appeared in The Westminster Gazette. In 1926, Taylor/Garvin dated the original appearance to 1906. Herewith I can update this and complete the study.

The poem did appear in The Westminster Gazette, but not in 1906. Viola Taylor contributed around twenty poems to The Westminster Gazette beginning in 1902. "The House of Cæsar" appeared in the 25 June 1909 issue, on page two. It was the final appearance by Viola Taylor in The Westminster Gazette. I copy this version of the poem below:

 

Three months earlier, on 22 March 1909 (page four), The Westminster Gazette reviewed her first book, a small collection of poems, The Story of Amaryllis and Other Verses (London:  Sidgwick & Jackson, 1908). Published in December 1908, the book was clearly out before "The House of Cæsar" had been written. I append the review below.
