I know you've all had the experience of having a snippet of a melody run annoyingly through your mind. I don't even like to think of it, because some song, or portion will start to play . . .

What's happening now is that I was writing, and I typed the words "needs must."

Odd expression.

And then I remembered a line:

"He needs must think of her once more, how in the grave she lies."

(I'm thinking "The Children's Hour," but I can't recall any more of it, and I can't find my volume . . . GRRRRRRRR! )

So now I know where the words came from, but it's driving me nuts trying to remember what poem it's from.

Help!
