Hi Christine, thanks for sharing this news. His art is his gift to the world. And this is complex.

In all things, an artist cannot hide behind their art nor do we give them a pass for their (alleged) transgressions without taking time to find the truth.

The words “your eyes have flown away” I interpret as her soul. Her quiet is “distracted and far away” ~ not at peace.
And, patriarchal undertones follow with, “ it seems like a kiss would close your mouth.” ~ silence her, which was acceptable in past generations.
The reference to her being gripped by the wrist, a statue and unresponsive, wide eyed imply fear.
And he writes she should despise him.
Got chills reading this.

Will anyone come forward, especially from his generation? Women generally don’t speak up when sexually abused /raped.
We may never learn the truth.
