WOMAN’S DEPARTMENT •

MISS H. E. MALONE
SWINBURNE AND ROSSETTI.
Hardly any woman, certainly
aot I, would care to be put on
rtcord as endorsing everything
that Swinburne has written; but
objections to the contrary not
withstanding, there is no use in
denying that the world is right
when it gives him the fame of a
master melodist in his own
chosen realm of poetry: We re
member Lanier's arraignment of
his work: “He invited me to
eat; the service was silver and
gold, but no food therein save
pepper and salt;” and we may
agree with him that Swinburne
gives us. at times, unsubstantial,
and even unwholesomeyfare; bui
in spite of it all, we are forced
to> admit that the service is sil
ver and gold; and we read Swin
burne, and read him again, be
cause of his matchless skill as
the magician of sweet sounds.
It is hard to make a choice of in
stances of this peculiar gift, be
cause it is such an unvarying
characteristic of Swinburne’s
verse; and so, passing over, as
too often quoted, the familiar
little poem entitled “A Match,’’
which every one l no\vs has been
said to be the uirtsi perfect bit of
versification in the language, I
take almost at random a few
stanzas selected from “Rococo.”
one of the celebrated “Poems
and Ballads:”
&
‘Take hands, and part with
laughter;
Touch lips, and part with tears;
Once more and no more after
Whatever comes with years.
We twain shall not re-measure
The ways that left us twain, *
Nur crush the lees of pleasure
rYom sanguine grains of pain.
We twain once well in sunder.
What will the mad gods do
For hate with me. 1 wonder,
Or what for love with you?
Forget them till November,
And dream there’s April yet;
Forget that I remember.
And dream that I forget.
Remembrance may recover.
And time bring back to time
The name of your first Iqver,
The ring of my first rhyme;
But rose-leaves of December,
The frosts of June shall fret.
The day that you remember.
The day that I forget.”
No person who has an ear can
fail to be charmed with the de
lightful ease and sweetness of
such versification. Its musib
lingers in the memory.
In the lines to Barry Cornwall
we have a similar swing of
rythm with fine, alliterative
effects:
t > _ j>'
“No time casts down, no time
upraises. --
Such loves, such memories and
such praises.
As need no grace of sun or
shower.
No saving screen from frost or
thunder.
To tend and house around and
under
The imperishable and peerless
flower.”
Beside^Swinburne, and belong
ing in spirit to the same school,
we might place Dante (labriel
Rossetti, the poet whose powers
of pictorial and vivid representa
tion chieflv impress us. His
“Sister Helen.;* “The Bride’s
Prelude,” and “A I^ast Confes
sion” are strongly dramatic, and
exhibit descriptive talent <>f the
brilliant kind that takes shape as
a mental picture and impresses
us lastiugly: In “A Last Con
fession” occurs this beautiful
description of a beautiful woman:
“Yef, let me think i f her as
then; for so
Her image. Father, is not .like
the sights
Whiih come when vou are gone.
She had a mouth
I Made to bring death to life the
underlip
Sucked in. as if it strove to kiss
itself.
Her face was ever pale, as when
one stoops
Over wan water; and the darK
crisped hair
And the hair’s shadow made it
paler still: —
Deep-serried locks, the darkness
of the cloud
Where the moon’s gaze is set in
eddying gloom.
Her body bore her neck as the
tree’s stem
Bears the top branch; and as
the branch sustains
The flower of the year’s pride,
her high neck bone
That face made wonderful with
night and day.
Her voice was swift, yet ever
the last words
Fell lingeringly; and rounded
finger-tips
She had, that clung a little where
they touched
And then were gone o’ the in
stant Her great eyes
That sometimes turned half diz
zily beneath
The passionate lids, as faint,
when she would speak,
Had also in them hidden springs
of mirth.
Which under the dark lashes
evermore
Shook to her laugh, as when a
bird flies low
Between the water and the wil
low-leaves.
And the shade quivers till he
wins the light”
