That was quite a challenge, the fifth couplet, as to structural dynamic and effecting organic unity rather than just tossing up a salad of thought and image. It is also an exploration on how to bring about the poetry of of historical personages and events that have more than one point of view or interpretation, i.e., in the case of Jack the Ripper to mention a quite obvious case. Most of our information comes from time honoured acceptance even if there are other versions of the truth available as in the historical accuracy of Shakespearean literature, et al. How we are remembered and 'peddled' isn't hardly ever within our power to manage or control. The world will choose to remember they way it suits. Thanks kindly.
