Excerpt from English Pastoral PoetryMany eople, without being communists, have irritated by the complacence in the massive calm of the poem, and this seems partly because they feel there is a cheat in the implied politics, the bourge01s themselves do not like literature to have too much bourgeois ideology' And yet what is said 1s one of the permanent truths; 1t is only 111 deg rce that any improvement of society could prevent wastage of human powers; the waste even in a fortunate life, the isolation even of a life rich in 1nt1macy, cannot but be felt deeply, and IS the central feeling of tragedy. And anything of value must accept this because it must not prostitute itself; its strength is to be prepared to waste itself, if it does not get its opportunity. A statement of this is certainly non political because it is true in any society, and yet nearly all the great poetic statements of it are in a way bour geois, like this one; they suggest to many readers, though they do not say, that for the poor man things cannot be improved even m degree. This at least shows that the distinction the communists try to draw is a puzzling one; two people may get very different experiences from the same work of art without either being definitely wrong. One is told that the Russ1ans now disapprove of tragedy, and that there was a per formance of Hamlet in the turk-sib region which the audience decided spontaneously was a farce. They may well hold out against the melancholy of old Russia, and for them there may be dangerous implications in any tragedy, which other people do not see. I am sure at any rate that one could not estimate the amount of bourgeois ideology really in the verse from Gray.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Feeling for Nature in English Pastoral Poetry If the word pastoral be a generic term denoting a literary mode and not a special literary form, its comprehensive possibilities for an appreciation of nature are at once evident, and to inquire how far the poets have succeeded in using their opportunity, is our present task. It is upon the results of this inquiry that our definition of the pastoral must be based, rather than upon any preconceived theory as to what they ought to have done. Among the Greeks where the star of pastoral song first arose, the term idyl which was the earliest literary form to exhibit the pastoral motive, sufficiently explains what they conceived to be its nature. The idyl of the Alexandrians is a little picture of rustic or town life, made up of legends of the gods, or passages from personal experience, the poem flowing in a somewhat reflective strain. In the idyls of the Greeks we hear nature speaking with a human voice conveying impressions of rustic emotion and environ ment, and in a delicate, simple, but none the less poetic manner.

Excerpt from English Pastorals Herrick's Mayday Corinna, adding her arch reproof, maybe, to the poet's chiding of that sweet slug-a-bed. Robin and Makin illustrate with their homely give and take one of the sources of that form of pastoral occupa tion which culminates in more gracious sport with Amaryllis in the shade, or with the tangles of Neaera's hair. The curiously tentative and hesitant note of Spenser's Calender, - the first great experiment of English Pastoralism, - is best appreciated by confronting his colinsoand Cuddies with the blithe west-country rustics Of his devoted but original disciple Drayton, or with the thrice-refined Hellenic Lycidas of a yet greater follower. Not every literary growth lends itself, it is true, so evidently as Pastoralism to the purposes of a summary survey such as is attempted in the present volume. Not all have so definite a beginning, so clearly marked and seemingly irrevocable an end. Pastoralism can now be reviewed as a whole from a distance sufficient to allow of all its parts falling into due proportion. If the Ec logue, its favourite form, still shows vitality, it is only by creating a quite new type of the singing shepherd, - the shepherd of Fleet Street, not of Sussex or Arcady, whose tales are cut short, not by the gloaming r e storm, but by the midnight boom of Paul's. The Masque (to which a later volume will be devoted) is even more clearly the product of an epoch, and had a still more compact history. For it achieved greatness quite suddenly at the outset of the seventeenth century, and perished of sheer inanition a generation later when the Court left Whitehall for the field, scarcely surviving that great master of the robust and masculine, to whose culture, paradoxically enough, almost all its rare and delicate beauty was due. Other branches of literary art, again, such as the Essays and Letters to which. Succeeding volumes will be devoted, have evidently a.

Excerpt from Ringwood Manse: A Pastoral Poem The author, in describing this rural home, flatters himself that he may touch a responsive chord in the hearts of his readers that will vibrate to many such sweet memories in their own experience. In conclusion, the author is sensible that he would do great injustice to his own feelings did he not endeavor to give expression to the deep sense of gratitude and profound respect known to be felt by the surviving members of the family, the special subjects of this little pastoral, for the life-long friendship of our world-renowned philanthropist, Mr. Corcoran, manifested in so many ways, especially for the touching and tangible remembrancer in the form of a monument that marks the spot and perpetuates the memory of their beloved parents, erected by him in the church-yard of Green wich.
