Merope's husband, Joseph, is such a man. And each morning, like Sisyphus before him, he sets off to roll a boulder from the valley where he lives to the top of a neighbouring mountain.

Love and Fame
A feature on the life and work of the American poet John Berryman
Compiled by MICHAEL BUTT with Joss Ackland as John Berryman
He was capable of the heights of poetic exaltation and of the depths of self-degrading alcoholic stupor. He achieved fame as a poet, great distinction as a university lecturer, but he lived on his nerves and his emotions.
On 7 January 1972, John Berryman, aged 57, walked to the Washington Avenue Bridge and jumped to his death.
