Williams worked at that time in a kind of basement garret with Clark Mills, a fellow poet. Mills introduced him to a one-foot shelf of influences: Rimbaud, Rilke, Lorca, Chekhov, Melville, D. H. Lawrence and Hart Crane, who became Williams' poetic idol. Tom introduced Mills to Rose.

But in stage version of The Wall, the mass and weight of John Hersey's novel are lost, while a steady dramatic undertow is lacking...
...save the bride (Sarmila Tagore*) from the curse that will fall upon her if she is not married at the appointed hour, Apu makes the noble gesture and marries her himself. To his amazement he falls in love with the girl, and for a year they live a garret idyl in Calcutta. Then she dies in childbirth. Almost insane with grief, Apu throws his novel, his career and almost his life away, but he finds himself again in his relation to his son, in his duty to the future, in his love of life...
