The two children make their way to the Bight of the Cloven Knoll; the point at which \u0026#39;The Sundering Flood\u0026#39; is narrowest, and begin to question one another. Morris\u0026#39;s hero and heroine continue to meet at the Bight of the Cloven Knoll through both summer and winter for five years. As they approach adulthood, their enforced separation becomes daily more irksome to them but they can see no prospect of physically meeting.\u0026rdquo; - Helen A. Timo William Morris was writing *The Sundering Flood* in 1896 as his health was steadily failing. He became so ill that he had to dictate the final words of the work to Sydney Cockerell on September 8, 1896.

Timo William Morris schreef *The Sundering Flood* in 1896 op een moment dat zijn gezondheid stelselmatig achteruitging. Hij werd zo ziek dat hij op 8 september 1896 de laatste woorden van het werk moest dicteren aan Syndey Cockerell.
