Materials for a volume accumulated slowly, but all the important portions of the ‘Poems’ published in 1870 had been in existence some years before that date. The prose story of ‘Hand and Soul’ was also written as early as 1848 or 1849. In the spring of 1860 he married Elizabeth Eleanor Siddall, who being very beautiful was constantly painted and drawn by him.
"Calm yourself, my love," said her husband. "I know Bill Siddall thoroughly. I said what would help. I want to get rid of her as much as you do and that's saying a great deal." Mrs. Presbury flamed with the wrath of those who are justly accused. "If Mildred left, I should go, too," cried she. "Go where?" inquired her husband. "To the poorhouse?"
Siddall," said he, "I should get into the auto and go for a long drive out to the Bois out to Versailles a long, long drive. I should be gone four or five hours at least, and I should look at the thing from all sides. Especially, I'd look at it from HIS standpoint."

Also the first Mrs. Siddall was not a lady nor the second. A lady, a young lady, was a new experience to me.
The result, finally, was a succession of bitter quarrels, and they were about to divorce when she died. He made the second Mrs. Siddall an allowance, a liberal allowance.
