HAMPTON COURT, HENRY VIII'S SUMMER PALACE,
WHERE WYATT WROTE HIS POEMS
THE MAZE AT HAMPTON COURT,
WHERE I GOT TOTALLY LOST
From Hilary Mantel's Bring Up the Bodies:
. . . He remembers what Thomas Wyatt told him: "That is Anne's tactic, she says yes, yes, yes, then she says no . . . the worst of it is her hinting to me, her boasting almost, that she says no to me, but yes to others."
He had asked Wyatt, how many lovers do you think she has had? And Wyatt had answered, "A dozen? Or none? Or a hundred?"
