ABelow are some comments from the community. Please feel free to add to the list.●Some fantasy readers are unhappy with their lives and think that they would be happier in another world. Someone who is not so successful in this world might be a hero or king in another world.— Lucy●I like reading fantasy books because they provide me with a different point of view on the world. I like to think about it using the analogy (类比) of the house that you live in but will never be able to understand if you don’t ev er get outside and look at it from another perspective (视角).— Martin●You can see a lot of tiny details in fantasy books that you may somehow lose in your everyday life just because they aren’t getting enough of your attention. Understand them and they’ll make your life more colourful and interesting.— Jordan●A lot of fantasy is about the world we would like to see. Fantasy novels are extremely popular, but most popular with children. This is probably due to the natural curiosity and creative imagination inherent (固有的) in nearly every young person. Older readers might enjoy fantasy because of its imaginative scope. People can relate to the feelings and experiences of fantasy characters.— Ahmed●I like reading fantasy because I have a great imagination which I find is better used while reading fantasy than in everyday life. In fantasy there is no real right or wrong. Furthermore, I believe there really is magic, but people just don’t realise it because it works in subtle (微妙的) ways, and you may not recognise it for what it is.— Chris●Many people like to escape from the busy and noisy life and be attracted bya story which involves something special, unreal or different — possibly magic. People enjoy being in someone else’s shoes — someone extraordinary, so that we can look at the world through another’s eyes. You can switch off and enjoy letting your imagination run wild.— Emily○Click here to add a comment.11. Why does Martin like reading fantasy books?A. He can get a new viewpoint.B. He wants to escape from real life.C. He feels happier in a fantasy world.D. He likes imagining himself as a hero.12. Why are fantasy novels popular with children according to Ahmed?A. They create dreams for children.B. Children are curious and imaginative.C. They show children a completely different world.D. Children long for the experiences of fantasy characters.13. Where does this text probably come from?A. A diary.B. A report.C. A newspaper.D. A website.BA century ago in the United States, when an individual brought suit〔起诉〕 against a company, public opinion tended to protect that company. But perhaps this phenomenon was most striking in the case of the railroads. Nearly half of all carelessness cases decided through 1896 involved railroads. And the railroads usually won.Most of the cases were decided in sate courts, when the railroads had the climate of the times on their sides. Government supported the railroad industry; the progress railroads represented was not to be slowed down by requiring them often to pay damages to those unlucky enough to be hurt working for them.Court decisions always went against railroad workers. A Mr. Farwell, an engineer, lost his right hand when a switchman carelessly ran his engine off the track. Thecourt reasoned that since Farwell had taken the job of an engineer voluntarily at good pay, he had accepted the risk. Therefore the accident, though avoidable had the switchmen acted carefully, was a "pure accident". In effect a railroad could never be held responsible for injury to one employee caused by the mistake of another.In one case where a Pennsylvania Railroad worker had started a fire at a warehouse and the fire had spread several blocks, causing widespread damage, a jury found the company responsible for all the damage. But the court overturned the jury's decision because it argued that the railroad's carelessness was the immediate cause of damage only to the nearest buildings. Beyond them the connection was too far-off to consider.As the century wore on, public feeling began to turn against the railroads -- against their economic and political power and high fares as well as against their coldness toward individuals.14. Which of the following is NOT true in Farwell's case?A. Farwell was injured because he carelessly ran his engine off the track.B. Farwell would not have been injured if the switchman had been more careful.C. The court argued the victim had accepted the risk since he had willingly taken his job.D. The court decided that the railroad should not be held responsible.15. What must have happened after the fire case was settled in court?A. The railroad compensated〔赔偿〕for the damage to the immediate buildings.B. The railroad compensated for all the damage by the fire.C. The railroad paid nothing for the damaged building.D. The railroad worker paid for the property damage himself.16. The following aroused public anger EXCEPT _____.A. political powerB. high faresC. economic lossD. indifference17. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. Railroad oppressing individuals in the US.B. History of the US railroads.C. Railroad workers' working rights.D. Law cases concerning the railroads.CEvery continent, except Antarctica, has rock art, but Africa has more rock art and the greatest range of art. It also has some of the oldest art. Almost every country in Africa has rock art but the greatest number of examples occur in North Africa’s Sahara Desert and in Southern Africa. There are two kinds of art: rock paintings and rock engravings (雕刻).In North Africa, some of the earliest works were over 8 metres high and were very well made by Stone-age people, who had no knowledge of writing. Most of North Africa’s rock art is found in the Sahara Desert, and o ther north- and west-African countries. The richest of all is Algeria, where some of the world’s most varied and extraordinary rock art can be found.Because rock art was made so long ago, we don’t know who the earliest artists were. However, there are some exceptions to this. In North Africa, we know that the earlier art, dating from more than 7,000 years ago, was made by people who hunted and gathered wild food. Paintings, including those of cattle dating frombetween 7,000 and 4,500 years ago, may have been made by ancestors of Black West Africans. Much of the art of the last 3,500 years, particularly the engravings of Niger and Mali, was produced by ancestors of the Amazie people.Rock art is the only way we can tell how our ancestors thought and how they saw their world. However, because most rock art belonged to cultures that disappeared long ago, it’s now difficult to understand why the artists painted and carved (雕刻), or what their art meant to them. Many researchers believe that the art had religious connections, expressing the artist’s thoughts of reality and their position in the world around them.It must have been a means of communication, but with whom? Bushmen artists showed their visions of a combined natural and spiritual world. Did they do this to tell others what they saw during dream-like states or was it a means to contact the earth’s spirit and control nature? During the 20th century in eastern and central Africa, people used and still use rock paintings to bring rain, and assist their souls through difficult moments such as birth, becoming adults, sickness and death. Perhaps our modern beliefs have ancient origins.18. Where is the most colourful rock art?A. Algeria.B. Southern Africa.C. The Sahara Desert.D. West-African countries.19. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. The significance of rock art.B. The identity of the rock artists.C. The extent of rock art in Africa.D. The discovery of the first rock art.20. What do researchers think of rock art?A. It reflected our ancestors’ beliefs.B. It was probably a form of competition.C. It served as a way to practice painting.D. It showed a world our ancestors imagined.21. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Bushmen used rock art to control nature.B. Modern Africans still create rock art as a tradition.C. Ancient Africans used rock art to record their dreams.D. Some Africans used rock art to strengthen themselves.DPerhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money. Strange as it may seem, if you're unsatisfied, the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires—not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don't have enough tastes.Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities (才能) to enjoy life. Most people are already swamped(吞没) with things. They eat, wear, go and talk too much. They live in too big a house with too many rooms, yet their house of life is a hut.Your house of life ought to be a mansion (豪宅) , a royal palace. Every new taste, every additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm adds a room. Here are several rooms your house of life should have.Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things. If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when you're hungry.Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment. To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent. Real riches are of the spirit. And when you've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk, you have increased your thrills and bettered them. And life is a matter of thrills.Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life. No matter who you are, you would be more human, and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days, if you could, and did, play a bit.Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.22.The author intends to tell us that____________.A．true happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair meansB．big houses are people's most valued possessionsC．big houses can in a sense bring richness of lifeD．true happiness comes from spiritual richesunderlined sentence in the second paragraph probably implies that_________. A．however materially rich, they never seem to be satisfiedB．however materially rich, they remain spiritually poorC．though their house is big, they prefer a simple lifeD．though their house is big, it seems to be a cage24. It can be learned from the passage that __________.A．more money brings more happinessB．art is needed to make your house beautifulC．literature can enrich your spiritual lifeD．sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness25. What would be the best title for the passage?A．House of LifeB．Secret of WealthC．Rest and RefreshmentD．Interest and Enthusiasm第二节：〔一共5小题；每一小题2分，满分是10分〕根据短文内容，从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项，选项里面有两项为多余选项。

The Aesthetic Omission and Compensation ofReduplicated Words in the Translation ofRomance of the Western Bower外国语学院 2007级英语翻译[Abstract] The translations of Romance of the Western Bower have significant meanings for the study of translation aesthetics and reduplicated words. The author researched from the perspective of translation aesthetics, and found that as a result of cultural differences and linguistic gap, the Chinese aesthetic implications in classical poetry have been omitted. T hus the core spirits and aesthetic feelings can’t effectively be conveyed to the English-speaking readers. In the studies reported here, the author first gives a general introduction to the translated versions, discusses the classification and functions of duplicated words in Chinese Classical Poetry and present achievement in translation aesthetics. On the basis of Xu Yuanchong’s theories of translation aesthetics, the author puts forward some methods of compensation which can in different extents make up for the omission of the original images, form, and musical beauty, etc. The author tries to find out the standard of a good translation in the sense of translation aesthetics.[Key Words] aesthetic omission; translation aesthetics; reduplicated words; romance of the western bower1.Introduction1. General introduction to English versions of Romance of the Western BowerWith its popularity home and abroad, Romance of the Western Bower (Xixiangji) has been talked and translated for decades. 1935 witnessed its first publication abroad. S. I. Hsiung (first Chinese to write and direct a West End play, author of Lady Precious Stream) translated it as The Romance of the Western Chamber. (Hsiung, Shih-i, 1971:1) Its second version named West Chamber: A Medieval Drama was by Henry H. Hart and published by Stanford University Press in 1936. The third version Romance of the Western Chamber was translated by T.C. Lai and Ed Gamarekian, prefaced by Lin Yutang in 1973. Its fourth edition was by by Tung Chieh-yuan in 1976, named The Romance of the Western Chamber. The fifth Edition was by US sinologist Stephen H. West and Ducth sinologist Wilt L. Idema in 1991, which was titled The Moon and theZither: The Story of the Western Wing. In 2003, Xu Yuanchong, a Professor of Peking University and translator completed a full version named Romance of the Western Bower (Wang Peirong, 2009:30).2.Reduplicated words in Romance of the Western BowerIn Wang Shifu’s Western Bower, there are five parts and twenty acts in all, 158 examples of reduplicated words (excluding names and titles), including sixty AA forms, which is less than a half of the total, and 75 AAB forms, about a half of the total. The use of AAB is more flexible, plain and natural. Due to these characters of AAB form, the literature work reads natural and conversational (Ren, Quan, 1991: 50).3. A brief introduction to translation aestheticsThe appreciation of poetry requires aesthetic views; therefore, the translation of poetry requires ability of aesthetic creativity. Any translator who wishes to handle the difficult work of poetry should learn some translation aesthetics.According to Mao, Ronggui, translation aesthetics is a study of aesthetic objects (the original text and the translation), aesthetic subjects (the translators and the readers), aesthetic process, aesthetic judgement, aesthetic appreciation, aesthetic criteria and creative equivalence, etc (Mao, Ronggui, 2005: 19).In China, translation aesthetics have always been active. Mao Dun was the first one who came up with the idea of “Shenyun”(神韵), which means the translation should reserve the spirit. Guo Moruo put forward “Fengyun”(风韵), enriching translation aesthetic theories. In fact, Shenyun and Fengyun is one thing (Liu Miqing, 1995: 198). Xu Yuanchong, a voluminous modern Chinese translator, created his principle of three beauties--Beauty in Sense, Sound and Style.2. Aesthetic omission in reduplicated words translation2.1Classification of Chinese reduplicated wordsAccording to Si,Xianzhu (2006: 55)reduplicated words can be classified by their forms as follows:AA：月色溶溶夜，花阴寂寂春。

ROSSETTISongs light as these may sound, though deep and strong The heart spake through them, scarce should hope to please Ears tuned to strains of loftier thoughts than throng Songs light as these.Yet grace may set their sometime doubt at ease,Nor need their too rash reverence fear to wrongThe shrine it serves at and the hope it sees.For childlike loves and laughters thence prolongNotes that bid enter, fearless as the breeze,Even to the shrine of holiest-hearted song,Songs light as these.IN HARBOURI.Goodnight and goodbye to the life whose signs denote usAs mourners clothed with regret for the life gone by;To the waters of gloom whence winds of the dayspring float us Goodnight and goodbye.A time is for mourning, a season for grief to sigh;But were we not fools and blind, by day to devote usAs thralls to the darkness, unseen of the sundawn's eye?We have drunken of Lethe at length, we have eaten of lotus;What hurts it us here that sorrows are born and die?We have said to the dream that caressed and the dread that smote us Goodnight and goodbye.II.Outside of the port ye are moored in, lyingClose from the wind and at ease from the tide,What sounds come swelling, what notes fall dyingOutside?They will not cease, they will not abide:Voices of presage in darkness cryingPass and return and relapse aside.Ye see not, but hear ye not wild wings flyingTo the future that wakes from the past that died? Is grief still sleeping, is joy not sighingOutside?THE WAY OF THE WINDThe wind's way in the deep sky's hollowNone may measure, as none can sayHow the heart in her shows the swallowThe wind's way.Hope nor fear can avail to stayWaves that whiten on wrecks that wallow, Times and seasons that wane and slay.Life and love, till the strong night swallow Thought and hope and the red last ray,Swim the waters of years that followThe wind's way.'HAD I WIST'Had I wist, when life was like a warm wind playingLight and loud through sundawn and the dew's bright trust, How the time should come for hearts to sigh in saying 'Had I wist' -Surely not the roses, laughing as they kissed,Not the lovelier laugh of seas in sunshine swaying, Should have lured my soul to look thereon and list.Now the wind is like a soul cast out and prayingVainly, prayers that pierce not ears when hearts resist: Now mine own soul sighs, adrift as wind and straying, 'Had I wist.'RECOLLECTIONSI.Years upon years, as a course of clouds that thicken Thronging the ways of the wind that shifts and veers,Pass, and the flames of remembered fires requicken Years upon years.Surely the thought in a man's heart hopes or fearsNow that forgetfulness needs must here have stricken Anguish, and sweetened the sealed-up springs of tears.Ah, but the strength of regrets that strain and sicken, Yearning for love that the veil of death endears, Slackens not wing for the wings of years that quicken - Years upon years.II.Years upon years, and the flame of love's high altar Trembles and sinks, and the sense of listening ears Heeds not the sound that it heard of love's blithe psalter Years upon years.Only the sense of a heart that hearkens hears,Louder than dreams that assail and doubts that palter, Sorrow that slept and that wakes ere sundawn peers.Wakes, that the heart may behold, and yet not falter, Faces of children as stars unknown of, spheresSeen but of love, that endures though all things alter, Years upon years.III.Years upon years, as a watch by night that passes, Pass, and the light of their eyes is fire that sears Slowly the hopes of the fruit that life amasses Years upon years.Pale as the glimmer of stars on moorland meres Lighten the shadows reverberate from the glasses Held in their hands as they pass among their peers.Lights that are shadows, as ghosts on graveyard grasses, Moving on paths that the moon of memory cheers, Shew but as mists over cloudy mountain passes Years upon years.TIME AND LIFEI.Time, thy name is sorrow, says the strickenHeart of life, laid waste with wasting flameEre the change of things and thoughts requicken, Time, thy name.Girt about with shadow, blind and lame,Ghosts of things that smite and thoughts that sicken Hunt and hound thee down to death and shame.Eyes of hours whose paces halt or quicken Read in bloodred lines of loss and blame,Writ where cloud and darkness round it thicken, Time, thy name.II.Nay, but rest is born of me for healing,- So might haply time, with voice represt, Speak: is grief the last gift of my dealing?Nay, but rest.All the world is wearied, east and west,Tired with toil to watch the slow sun wheeling, Twelve loud hours of life's laborious quest.Eyes forspent with vigil, faint and reeling,Find at last my comfort, and are blest,Not with rapturous light of life's revealing - Nay, but rest.A DIALOGUEI.Death, if thou wilt, fain would I plead with thee: Canst thou not spare, of all our hopes have built, One shelter where our spirits fain would be, Death, if thou wilt?No dome with suns and dews impearled and gilt, Imperial: but some roof of wildwood tree,Too mean for sceptre's heft or swordblade's hilt.Some low sweet roof where love might live, set free From change and fear and dreams of grief or guilt; Canst thou not leave life even thus much to see, Death, if thou wilt?II.Man, what art thou to speak and plead with me? What knowest thou of my workings, where and how What things I fashion? Nay, behold and see, Man, what art thou?Thy fruits of life, and blossoms of thy bough,What are they but my seedlings? Earth and sea Bear nought but when I breathe on it must bow.Bow thou too down before me: though thou be Great, all the pride shall fade from off thy brow, When Time and strong Oblivion ask of thee, Man, what art thou?Death, if thou be or be not, as was said,Immortal; if thou make us nought, or weSurvive: thy power is made but of our dread, Death, if thou be.Thy might is made out of our fear of thee:Who fears thee not, hath plucked from off thine head The crown of cloud that darkens earth and sea.Earth, sea, and sky, as rain or vapour shed,Shall vanish; all the shows of them shall flee:Then shall we know full surely, quick or dead,Death, if thou be.PLUS ULTRAFar beyond the sunrise and the sunset rises Heaven, with worlds on worlds that lighten and respond: Thought can see not thence the goal of hope's surmises Far beyond.Night and day have made an everlasting bondEach with each to hide in yet more deep disguises Truth, till souls of men that thirst for truth despond.All that man in pride of spirit slights or prizes,All the dreams that make him fearful, fain, or fond, Fade at forethought's touch of life's unknown surprises Far beyond.A DEAD FRIENDI.Gone, O gentle heart and true,Friend of hopes foregone,Hopes and hopeful days with youGone?Days of old that shoneSaw what none shall see anew,When we gazed thereon.Soul as clear as sunlit dew,Why so soon pass on,Forth from all we loved and knewGone?II.Friend of many a season fled,What may sorrow send Toward thee now from lips that said 'Friend'?Sighs and songs to blend Praise with pain uncomfortedThough the praise ascend?Darkness hides no dearer head: Why should darkness endDay so soon, O dear and deadFriend?III.Dear in death, thou hast thy part Yet in life, to cheerHearts that held thy gentle heart Dear.Time and chance may sear Hope with grief, and death may part Hand from hand's clasp here:Memory, blind with tears that start, Sees through every tearAll that made thee, as thou art, Dear.IV.True and tender, single-souled,What should memory do Weeping o'er the trust we holdTrue?Known and loved of few,But of these, though small their fold, Loved how well were you!Change, that makes of new things old, Leaves one old thing new;Love which promised truth, and told True.V.Kind as heaven, while earth's control Still had leave to bindThee, thy heart was toward man's whole Kind.Thee no shadows blindNow: the change of hours that roll Leaves thy sleep behind.Love, that hears thy death-bell toll Yet, may call to mindScarce a soul as thy sweet soulKind.VI.How should life, O friend, forget Death, whose guest art thou? Faith responds to love's regret, How?Still, for us that bow Sorrowing, still, though life be set, Shines thy bright mild brow.Yea, though death and thou be met, Love may find thee nowStill, albeit we know not yetHow.VII.Past as music fades, that shone While its life might last;As a song-bird's shadow flownPast!Death's reverberate blastNow for music's lord has blown Whom thy love held fast.Dead thy king, and void his throne:Yet for grief at lastLove makes music of his ownPast.PAST DAYSI.Dead and gone, the days we had together, Shadow-stricken all the lights that shoneRound them, flown as flies the blown foam's feather, Dead and gone.Where we went, we twain, in time foregone,Forth by land and sea, and cared not whether,If I go again, I go alone.Bound am I with time as with a tether;Thee perchance death leads enfranchised on,Far from deathlike life and changeful weather, Dead and gone.II.Above the sea and sea-washed town we dwelt,We twain together, two brief summers, freeFrom heed of hours as light as clouds that meltAbove the sea.Free from all heed of aught at all were we,Save chance of change that clouds or sunbeams dealtAnd gleam of heaven to windward or to lee.The Norman downs with bright grey waves for beltWere more for us than inland ways might be;A clearer sense of nearer heaven was feltAbove the sea.III.Cliffs and downs and headlands which the forward-hasting Flight of dawn and eve empurples and embrowns,Wings of wild sea-winds and stormy seasons wasting Cliffs and downs,These, or ever man was, were: the same sky frowns, Laughs, and lightens, as before his soul, forecasting Times to be, conceived such hopes as time discrowns.These we loved of old: but now for me the blasting Breath of death makes dull the bright small seaward towns, Clothes with human change these all but everlasting Cliffs and downs.AUTUMN AND WINTERI.Three months bade wane and wax the wintering moon Between two dates of death, while men were fainYet of the living light that all too soonThree months bade wane.Cold autumn, wan with wrath of wind and rain,Saw pass a soul sweet as the sovereign tuneThat death smote silent when he smote again.First went my friend, in life's mid light of noon,Who loved the lord of music: then the strain Whence earth was kindled like as heaven in June Three months bade wane.II.A herald soul before its master's flyingTouched by some few moons first the darkling goal Where shades rose up to greet the shade, espyingA herald soul;Shades of dead lords of music, who controlMen living by the might of men undying,With strength of strains that make delight of dole.The deep dense dust on death's dim threshold lying Trembled with sense of kindling sound that stole Through darkness, and the night gave ear, descryingA herald soul.III.One went before, one after, but so fastThey seem gone hence together, from the shore Whence we now gaze: yet ere the mightier passed One went before;One whose whole heart of love, being set of yoreOn that high joy which music lends us, castLight round him forth of music's radiant store.Then went, while earth on winter glared aghast,The mortal god he worshipped, through the door Wherethrough so late, his lover to the last,One went before.IV.A star had set an hour before the sunSank from the skies wherethrough his heart's pulse yet Thrills audibly: but few took heed, or none,A star had set.All heaven rings back, sonorous with regret,The deep dirge of the sunset: how should oneSoft star be missed in all the concourse met?But, O sweet single heart whose work is done,Whose songs are silent, how should I forgetThat ere the sunset's fiery goal was wonA star had set?THE DEATH OF RICHARD WAGNERI.Mourning on earth, as when dark hours descend,Wide-winged with plagues, from heaven; when hope and mirth Wane, and no lips rebuke or reprehendMourning on earth.The soul wherein her songs of death and birth,Darkness and light, were wont to sound and blend,Now silent, leaves the whole world less in worth.Winds that make moan and triumph, skies that bend, Thunders, and sound of tides in gulf and firth,Spake through his spirit of speech, whose death should send Mourning on earth.II.The world's great heart, whence all things strange and rareTake form and sound, that each inseparate partMay bear its burden in all tuned thoughts that shareThe world's great heart -The fountain forces, whence like steeds that startLeap forth the powers of earth and fire and air,Seas that revolve and rivers that depart -Spake, and were turned to song: yea, all they were,With all their works, found in his mastering artSpeech as of powers whose uttered word laid bareThe world's great heart.III.From the depths of the sea, from the wellsprings of earth, from the wastes of the midmost night,From the fountains of darkness and tempest and thunder, from heights where the soul would be,The spell of the mage of music evoked their sense, as an unknown lightFrom the depths of the sea.As a vision of heaven from the hollows of ocean, that none but a god might see,Rose out of the silence of things unknown of a presence, a form, a might,And we heard as a prophet that hears God's message against him, and may not flee.Eye might not endure it, but ear and heart with a rapture of dark delight,With a terror and wonder whose core was joy, and a passion of thought set free,Felt inly the rising of doom divine as a sundawn risen to sight From the depths of the sea.TWO PRELUDESI.LOHENGRINLove, out of the depth of things,As a dewfall felt from above,From the heaven whence only springsLove,Love, heard from the heights thereof,The clouds and the watersprings,Draws close as the clouds remove.And the soul in it speaks and sings,A swan sweet-souled as a dove,An echo that only ringsLove.II.TRISTAN UND ISOLDEFate, out of the deep sea's gloom,When a man's heart's pride grows great,And nought seems now to foredoomFate,Fate, laden with fears in wait,Draws close through the clouds that loom,Till the soul see, all too late,More dark than a dead world's tomb,More high than the sheer dawn's gate,More deep than the wide sea's womb,Fate.THE LUTE AND THE LYREDeep desire, that pierces heart and spirit to the root, Finds reluctant voice in verse that yearns like soaring fire,Takes exultant voice when music holds in high pursuit Deep desire.Keen as burns the passion of the rose whose buds respire, Strong as grows the yearning of the blossom toward the fruit, Sounds the secret half unspoken ere the deep tones tire.Slow subsides the rapture that possessed love's flower-soft lute, Slow the palpitation of the triumph of the lyre:Still the soul feels burn, a flame unslaked though these be mute, Deep desire.PLUS INTRAI.Soul within sense, immeasurable, obscure,Insepulchred and deathless, through the denseDeep elements may scarce be felt as pureSoul within sense.From depth and height by measurers left immense,Through sound and shape and colour, comes the unsure Vague utterance, fitful with supreme suspense.All that may pass, and all that must endure,Song speaks not, painting shews not: more intense And keen than these, art wakes with music's lure Soul within sense.CHANGEBut now life's face beholdenSeemed bright as heaven's bare browWith hope of gifts withholdenBut now.From time's full-flowering boughEach bud spake bloom to emboldenLove's heart, and seal his vow.Joy's eyes grew deep with oldenDreams, born he wist not how;Thought's meanest garb was golden;But now!A BABY'S DEATHI.A little soul scarce fledged for earthTakes wing with heaven again for goalEven while we hailed as fresh from birthA little soul.Our thoughts ring sad as bells that toll,Not knowing beyond this blind world's girth What things are writ in heaven's full scroll.Our fruitfulness is there but dearth,And all things held in time's controlSeem there, perchance, ill dreams, not worthA little soul.II.The little feet that never trodEarth, never strayed in field or street,What hand leads upward back to God The little feet?A rose in June's most honied heat,When life makes keen the kindling sod, Was not so soft and warm and sweet.Their pilgrimage's periodA few swift moons have seen complete Since mother's hands first clasped and shodThe little feet.III.The little hands that never soughtEarth's prizes, worthless all as sands,What gift has death, God's servant, brought The little hands?We ask: but love's self silent stands, Love, that lends eyes and wings to thought To search where death's dim heaven expands.Ere this, perchance, though love know nought, Flowers fill them, grown in lovelier lands, Where hands of guiding angels caughtThe little hands.IV.The little eyes that never knewLight other than of dawning skies,What new life now lights up anewThe little eyes?Who knows but on their sleep may riseSuch light as never heaven let throughTo lighten earth from Paradise?No storm, we know, may change the blueSoft heaven that haply death descriesNo tears, like these in ours, bedewThe little eyes.V.Was life so strange, so sad the sky,So strait the wide world's range,He would not stay to wonder whyWas life so strange?Was earth's fair house a joyless grangeBeside that house on highWhence Time that bore him failed to estrange?That here at once his soul put byAll gifts of time and change,And left us heavier hearts to sigh'Was life so strange?'VI.Angel by name love called him, seeing so fairThe sweet small frame;Meet to be called, if ever man's child were,Angel by name.Rose-bright and warm from heaven's own heart he came, And might not bearThe cloud that covers earth's wan face with shame.His little light of life was all too rareAnd soft a flame:Heaven yearned for him till angels hailed him there Angel by name.VII.The song that smiled upon his birthday here Weeps on the grave that holds him undefiled Whose loss makes bitterer than a soundless tear The song that smiled.His name crowned once the mightiest ever styled Sovereign of arts, and angel: fate and fear Knew then their master, and were reconciled.But we saw born beneath some tenderer sphere Michael, an angel and a little child,Whose loss bows down to weep upon his bier The song that smiled.ONE OF TWAINI.One of twain, twin-born with flowers that waken, Now hath passed from sense of sun and rain:Wind from off the flower-crowned branch hath shaken One of twain.One twin flower must pass, and one remain:One, the word said soothly, shall be taken,And another left: can death refrain?Two years since was love's light song mistaken, Blessing then both blossoms, half in vain?Night outspeeding light hath overtakenOne of twain.II.Night and light? O thou of heart unwary,Love, what knowest thou here at all aright,Lured, abused, misled as men by fairyNight and light?Haply, where thine eyes behold but night,Soft as o'er her babe the smile of MaryLight breaks flowerwise into new-born sight.What though night of light to thee be chary?What though stars of hope like flowers take flight? Seest thou all things here, where all see varyNight and light?DEATH AND BIRTHDeath and birth should dwell not near together: Wealth keeps house not, even for shame, with dearth: Fate doth ill to link in one brief tetherDeath and birth.Harsh the yoke that binds them, strange the girth Seems that girds them each with each: yet whether Death be best, who knows, or life on earth?Ill the rose-red and the sable featherBlend in one crown's plume, as grief with mirth:Ill met still are warm and wintry weather,Death and birth.BIRTH AND DEATHBirth and death, twin-sister and twin-brother,Night and day, on all things that draw breath, Reign, while time keeps friends with one another Birth and death.Each brow-bound with flowers diverse of wreath, Heaven they hail as father, earth as mother,Faithful found above them and beneath.Smiles may lighten tears, and tears may smother Smiles, for all that joy or sorrow saith:Joy nor sorrow knows not from each otherBirth and death.BENEDICTIONBlest in death and life beyond man's guessingLittle children live and die, possestStill of grace that keeps them past expressing Blest.Each least chirp that rings from every nest,Each least touch of flower-soft fingers pressingAught that yearns and trembles to be prest,Each least glance, gives gifts of grace, redressing Grief's worst wrongs: each mother's nurturing breast Feeds a flower of bliss, beyond all blessingBlest.ETUDE REALISTEI.A Baby's feet, like sea-shells pink,Might tempt, should heaven see meet, An angel's lips to kiss, we think,A baby's feet.Like rose-hued sea-flowers toward the heat They stretch and spread and wink Their ten soft buds that part and meet.No flower-bells that expand and shrink Gleam half so heavenly sweetAs shine on life's untrodden brinkA baby's feet.II.A baby's hands, like rosebuds furledWhence yet no leaf expands,Ope if you touch, though close upcurled,A baby's hands.Then, fast as warriors grip their brandsWhen battle's bolt is hurled,They close, clenched hard like tightening bands.No rosebuds yet by dawn impearledMatch, even in loveliest lands,The sweetest flowers in all the world -A baby's hands.III.A baby's eyes, ere speech begin,Ere lips learn words or sighs,Bless all things bright enough to winA baby's eyes.Love, while the sweet thing laughs and lies, And sleep flows out and in,Sees perfect in them Paradise.Their glance might cast out pain and sin, Their speech make dumb the wise,By mute glad godhead felt withinA baby's eyes.BABYHOODI.A baby shines as brightIf winter or if May beOn eyes that keep in sightA baby.Though dark the skies or grey be,It fills our eyes with light,If midnight or midday be.Love hails it, day and night,The sweetest thing that may beYet cannot praise arightA baby.II.All heaven, in every baby born,All absolute of earthly leaven,Reveals itself, though man may scorn All heaven.Yet man might feel all sin forgiven,All grief appeased, all pain outworn,By this one revelation given.Soul, now forget thy burdens borne: Heart, be thy joys now seven times seven: Love shows in light more bright than mornAll heaven.III.What likeness may define, and stray not From truth's exactest way,A baby's beauty? Love can say notWhat likeness may.The Mayflower loveliest held in MayOf all that shine and stay notLaughs not in rosier disarray.Sleek satin, swansdown, buds that play not As yet with winds that play,Would fain be matched with this, and may not: What likeness may?IV.Rose, round whose bedDawn's cloudlets close,Earth's brightest-bredRose!No song, love knows,May praise the headYour curtain shows.Ere sleep has fled,The whole child glowsOne sweet live redRose.FIRST FOOTSTEPSA little way, more soft and sweetThan fields aflower with May,A babe's feet, venturing, scarce completeA little way.Eyes full of dawning dayLook up for mother's eyes to meet, Too blithe for song to say.Glad as the golden spring to greetIts first live leaflet's play,Love, laughing, leads the little feetA little way.A NINTH BIRTHDAYFEBRUARY 4, 1883I.Three times thrice hath winter's rough white wing Crossed and curdled wells and streams with ice Since his birth whose praises love would sing Three times thrice.Earth nor sea bears flower nor pearl of priceFit to crown the forehead of my king,Honey meet to please him, balm, nor spice.Love can think of nought but love to bringFit to serve or do him sacrificeEre his eyes have looked upon the springThree times thrice.II.Three times thrice the world has fallen on slumber, Shone and waned and withered in a trice,Frost has fettered Thames and Tyne and Humber Three times thrice,Fogs have swoln too thick for steel to slice,Cloud and mud have soiled with grime and umber Earth and heaven, defaced as souls with vice,Winds have risen to wreck, snows fallen to cumber, Ships and chariots, trapped like rats or mice,Since my king first smiled, whose years now number Three times thrice.III.Three times thrice, in wine of song full-flowing, Pledge, my heart, the child whose eyes suffice,Once beheld, to set thy joy-bells goingThree times thrice.Not the lands of palm and date and riceGlow more bright when summer leaves them glowing, Laugh more light when suns and winds entice.Noon and eve and midnight and cock-crowing,Child whose love makes life as paradise,Love should sound your praise with clarions blowing Three times thrice.NOT A CHILDI.'Not a child: I call myself a boy,'Says my king, with accent stern yet mild,Now nine years have brought him change of joy;。

ODE POUR SELECTION DE SON SEPULCHREFOR three years, out of key with his time,He strove to resuscitate the dead artOf poetry; to maintain "the sublime"In the old sense. Wrong from the start—No hardly, but, seeing he had been bornIn a half savage country, out of date;Bent resolutely on wringing lilies from the acorn;Capaneus; trout for factitious bait;ἴδµενγάρτοιπάνπάνθ', όσ' ένιΤροίηCaught in the unstopped ear;Giving the rocks small lee-wayThe chopped seas held him, therefore, that year.His true Penelope was Flaubert,He fished by obstinate isles;Observed the elegance of Circe's hairRather than the mottoes on sun-dials. Unaffected by "the march of events,"He passed from men's memory in l'an trentiesme De son eage; the case presentsNo adjunct to the Muses' diadem.II.THE age demanded an imageOf its accelerated grimace,Something for the modern stage,Not, at any rate, an Attic grace;Not, not certainly, the obscure reveriesOf the inward gaze;Better mendacitiesThan the classics in paraphrase!The "age demanded" chiefly a mould in plaster, Made with no loss of time,A prose kinema, not, not assuredly, alabasterOr the "sculpture" of rhyme.III.THE tea-rose tea-gown, etc.Supplants the mousseline of Cos,The pianola "replaces"Sappho's barbitos.Christ follows Dionysus,Phallic and ambrosialMade way for macerations;Caliban casts out Ariel.All things are a flowing,Sage Heracleitus says;But a tawdry cheapnessShall reign throughout our days.Even the Christian beautyDefects—after Samothrace;We see τοκαλόνDecreed in the market place.Faun's flesh is not to us,Nor the saint's vision.We have the press for wafer;Franchise for circumcision.All men, in law, are equals.Free of Peisistratus,We choose a knave or an eunuchTo rule over us.O bright Apollo,τίν' άνδρα, τίν' ήρωα, τίναθεον,What god, man, or heroShall I place a tin wreath upon!IV.THESE fought, in any case, and some believing, pro domo, in any case . . Some quick to arm, some for adventure, some from fear of weakness, some from fear of censure, some for love of slaughter, in imagination, learning later . . .some in fear, learning love of slaughter; Died some "pro patria, non dulce non et decor". .walked eye-deep in hell believing in old men's lies, then unbelieving came home, home to a lie, home to many deceits, home to old lies and new infamy;usury age-old and age-thick and liars in public places.Daring as never before, wastage as never before.Young blood and high blood,Fair cheeks, and fine bodies;fortitude as never beforefrankness as never before, disillusions as never told in the old days, hysterias, trench confessions, laughter out of dead bellies.V.THERE died a myriad,And of the best, among them,For an old bitch gone in the teeth,For a botched civilization,Charm, smiling at the good mouth,Quick eyes gone under earth's lid,For two gross of broken statues,For a few thousand battered books.YEUX GLAUQUESGLADSTONE was still respected,When John Ruskin produced"Kings Treasuries"; SwinburneAnd Rossetti still abused.Fœtid Buchanan lifted up his voiceWhen that faun's head of hersBecame a pastime forPainters and adulterers.The Burne-Jones cartonsHave preserved her eyes;Still, at the Tate, they teachCophetua to rhapsodize;Thin like brook-water,With a vacant gaze.The English Rubaiyat was still-bornIn those days.The thin, clear gaze, the sameStill darts out faun-like from the half-ruin'd fac Questing and passive …."Ah, poor Jenny's case"…Bewildered that a worldShows no surpriseAt her last maquero'sAdulteries."SIENA MI FE', DISFECEMI MAREMMA" AMONG the pickled foetuses and bottled bones, Engaged in perfecting the catalogue,I found the last scion of theSenatorial families of Strasbourg, Monsieur Verog. For two hours he talked of Gallifet;Of Dowson; of the Rhymers' Club;Told me how Johnson (Lionel) diedBy falling from a high stool in a pub . . .But showed no trace of alcoholAt the autopsy, privately performed—Tissue preserved—the pure mindArose toward Newman as the whiskey warmed.Dowson found harlots cheaper than hotels;Headlam for uplift; Image impartially imbuedWith raptures for Bacchus, Terpsichore and the Church. So spoke the author of "The Dorian Mood",M. Verog, out of step with the decade,Detached from his contemporaries,Neglected by the young,Because of these reveries.BRENNBAUM.THE sky-like limpid eyes,The circular infant's face,The stiffness from spats to collarNever relaxing into grace;The heavy memories of Horeb, Sinai and the forty years, Showed only when the daylight fellLevel across the faceOf Brennbaum "The Impeccable".MR. NIXONIN the cream gilded cabin of his steam yachtMr. Nixon advised me kindly, to advance with fewer Dangers of delay. "Consider"Carefully the reviewer."I was as poor as you are;"When I began I got, of course,"Advance on royalties, fifty at first", said Mr. Nixon, "Follow me, and take a column,"Even if you have to work free."Butter reviewers. From fifty to three hundred"I rose in eighteen months;"The hardest nut I had to crack"Was Dr. Dundas."I never mentioned a man but with the view"Of selling my own works."The tip's a good one, as for literature"It gives no man a sinecure."And no one knows, at sight a masterpiece.And give up verse, my boy,There's nothing in it.* * *Likewise a friend of Bloughram's once advised me:Don't kick against the pricks,Accept opinion. The "Nineties" tried your game And died, there's nothing in it.X.BENEATH the sagging roofThe stylist has taken shelter,Unpaid, uncelebrated,At last from the world's welterNature receives him,With a placid and uneducated mistressHe exercises his talentsAnd the soil meets his distress.The haven from sophistications and contentions Leaks through its thatch;He offers succulent cooking;The door has a creaking latch.XI."CONSERVATRIX of Milésien"Habits of mind and feeling,Possibly. But in EalingWith the most bank-clerkly of Englishmen? No, "Milésien" is an exaggeration.No instinct has survived in herOlder than those her grandmotherTold her would fit her station.XII."DAPHNE with her thighs in barkStretches toward me her leafy hands",— Subjectively. In the stuffed-satin drawing-room I await The Lady Valentine's commands, Knowing my coat has never beenOf precisely the fashionTo stimulate, in her,A durable passion;Doubtful, somewhat, of the valueOf well-gowned approbationOf literary effort,But never of The Lady Valentine's vocation: Poetry, her border of ideas,The edge, uncertain, but a means of blending With other strataWhere the lower and higher have ending;A hook to catch the Lady Jane's attention,A modulation toward the theatre,Also, in the case of revolution,A possible friend and comforter.* * *Conduct, on the other hand, the soul"Which the highest cultures have nourished"To Fleet St. whereDr. Johnson flourished;Beside this thoroughfareThe sale of half-hose hasLong since superseded the cultivationOf Pierian roses.ENVOI (1919)GO, dumb-born book,Tell her that sang me once that song of Lawes; Hadst thou but songAs thou hast subjects known,Then were there cause in thee that should condone Even my faults that heavy upon me lieAnd build her glories their longevity.Tell her that shedsSuch treasure in the air,Recking naught else but that her graces giveLife to the moment,I would bid them liveAs roses might, in magic amber laid,Red overwrought with orange and all madeOne substance and one colourBraving time.Tell her that goesWith song upon her lipsBut sings not out the song, nor knowsThe maker of it, some other mouth,May be as fair as hers,Might, in new ages, gain her worshippers,When our two dusts with Waller's shall be laid, Siftings on siftings in oblivion,Till change hath broken downAll things save Beauty alone.1920(MAUBERLEY)I.TURNED from the "eau-fortePar Jaquemart"To the strait headOf Mcssalina:"His true PenelopeWas Flaubert",And his toolThe engraver'sFirmness,Not the full smile,His art, but an artIn profile;ColourlessPier Francesca,Pisanello lacking the skillTo forge Achaia.II."Qu'est ce qu'ils savent de l'amour, et gu'est ce qu'ils peuvent comprendre?
