THERE IS A HAPPINESS THAT MORNING IS
A comedy in rhymed verse, THERE IS A HAPPINESS THAT MORNING ISis toldvia two lectures on the poetry of William Blake: one given in the morning byBernard,a middle-aged, barely published poet of scant scholarship, and theother in the afternoon by his lover, Ellen, a reputable Ph.D. Havingengagedthe evening before in a highly inappropriate display of public affection on themain lawn of their rural New England campus, thetwo lecturersmust now, in class, either apologize for their behavior or effectively justifyit if they want to keep their jobs.
