"The year 1863 comes as an anti-climax after the many event and in-tense literary activity of the months that preceded. Apart from The Triumph of Time, it seems that Swinburne set himself as his chief task during the first half of the year to complete and give some sort of definite shape to the much modified and rewritten Chastelard" (Lafourcade, Swinburne, 107).
