Marston, Philip Bourke 1850-87
English poet
He was born in London, the son of dramatic poet John Westland Marston (1819-90), and became blind at the age of three. He was grief-stricken at the death of his fiancée and then of his sisters, and his friends, Oliver Madox Brown and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. He is remembered for his friendship with Rossetti, Theodore Watts-Dunton and Algernon Swinburne rather than for his sonnets and lyrics. Songtide, All in All and Wind Voices were the three volumes of poetry he published between 1870 and 1883. A collection of his short stories appeared posthumously in 1887.
