Fics like By Grand Central Station I Sat Down And Wept and its role in Morrissey's lyricism - An Essay

When he was in The Smiths, Morrissey referenced multiple times Elizabeth Smart as being a big influence on the way he wrote his lyrics. I recently read her novella By Grand Central Station I Sat Down And Wept and I've come to the conclusion that its role in The Smiths' history has been underestimated quite a bit, especially when it comes to the Morrissey/Marr relationship. Here's why.
