ReplyDeleteThe Singer saith of his Song by Francis Thompson (another sadly neglected Preston poet, known now only for "The Hound of Heaven")
ReplyDeleteThe touches of man's modern speech
Perplex her unacquainted tongue;
There seems through all her somgs a sound
Of falling tears. She is not young.
Within her eyes' profound arcane
Resides the glory of her dreams;
Behind her secret cloud of hair
She sees the Is beyond the Seems.
He heart sole-towered in her steep spirit,
Somewhat sweet is she, somewhat wan;
And she sings the songs of Sion
By the streams of Babylon.
(All poetry and prose should stand the test of reading-aloud)
This from "An Anthology of 'Nineties' Verse" Edited by A.J.A. Symons (in imitation of the Yellowbooks, published 1928)
This book comes HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to you Mr Pugmire - it's not expensive, either in Abebooks.com
Best,

Wonderful!! Thank ye so much! I shall hunt for that book.
DeleteYou will enjoy it, I feel sure. There is verse in there from Aubrey Beardsley ; Lord Alfred Douglas ; Ernest Dowson ; Oscar Wilde ; Artur Symons and W. B. Yeats amongst others in thee illustrious Company! Good luck finding a nice copy - mine cost me £20uk (about $30us)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to "Bohemians of Sequa Velley coming out in paperback - at least I hope it does, I'm finding it too costly to buy all hardbacked copies these days and want to collect all your books.
Keep smiling!
