As solitary as an osyter
Hard and sharp as flints
A bright clear jet of light by which all this was visible
I wear the chain I forged in life
Ponderous chain
Are there no prisons are there no workhouses
He was a lonely boy sitting by a feeble fire
Brave in ribbons
Another idol has displaced me
Free as it’s genial face it’s sparkling eye, it’s open hand, it’s cheery voice, it’s unconstrained demeanour and it’s joyful air
They were a boy and a girl yellow meagre, ragged, scowling, wolfish
His cheeks were ruddy …. All in a glow
The phantom slowly gravely silently approached
I am as light as a feather, as happy as an angel, as merry as a schoolboy, as giddy as a drunken man
Another idol has displaced me
Said by belle
The ghost of Christmas past is showing the end of their relationship
It shows the change in scrooge and that his priority is money
Themes of isolation and money
Metaphor as the idol is the money
Free as it's genial face .........
