Henry Tighe on reading her Psyche".
Having suffered for at least a year, Mary Tighe endured a serious attack of tuberculosis in 1805. In February 1805 Thomas Moore states that she had "a very serious struggle for life" and in August of the same year that she was 'ordered to the Madeiras'. Moore also claimed that "another winter will inevitably be her death". Tighe lived for another five years and spent her last few months of life as an invalid at her brother-in-law
in the grounds, just outside the Warriors' Chapel.
