Looking at the New Criterion web archive, I came across an interesting
poem by Elizabeth Spires, which can be found here:

http://www.newcriterion.com/archive/20/oct01/spires1.htm

Am I being too fanciful in seeing a link here to Speak, Memory, in the
first part?:

1.
You find me in every photograph,
gravely staring out at you,
whispering sotto voce, "Remember..."
You try to walk away but can't.
Dear one, you must carry me,
carry me on your back.
