A. The poem about grey geese comes from the collection The Traveller and Other Poems by
Iris Tree (New York: Boni & Liveright, 1927). Denys Finch Hatton's
family was acquainted with the author, according to his
biographer, Erroll Trzebinski (Silence Will Speak. London: Heinemann, 1977).
Online information states that the book "is a collection of poems
about traveling experiences. . .. London, Paris, Austria, and a section on
returning, which includes her 1926 poem, 'Nantucket.'" Iris Tree (1897-1968) makes a cameo appearance, as herself, in Fellini's film, La Dolce Vita (1960), reading a poem at Steiner's cafe.
