May,
1536. The poet
Sir Thomas Wyatt, released from imprisonment in the Tower of London, is in
his father's custody.
From almost the beginning of his life, Tom has loved
his cousin
Anne Boleyn, content to sit at her feet while she sang her love songs to
another, if doing so gave him just a moment in her company. Now he is heartsick
and despairing, having witnessed her juridical
murder
by
Henry VIII. Only wanting to escape from the recent memories now rending his
heart, Tom recounts his story, a story which narrates too the tragic tale of
Anne Boleyn, second wife of Henry VIII.
