I saw + In the cloud-sullied moon a pale array, + A lengthened apparition, slowly draw; + And as it came, + Brake all the street in phantom flame + Of flag and flower and hanging, shadowy show + Of the to-morrow's glories, as might suit + A pageant of the dead; and spectral bruit + I heard, where stood the dead to watch the dead, + The long Victorian line that passed with printless tread. + First went the holy poets, two on two, + And music, sown along the hardened ground, + Budded like frequence of glad daisies, where + Those sacred feet did fare; + Arcadian pipe, and psaltery, around, + And stringèd viol, sound + To make for them melodious due. + In the first twain of those great ranks of death + Went one, the impress recent on his hair + Where it was dinted by the laureate wreath: + Who sang those goddesses with splendours bare + On Ida hill, before the Trojan boy; + And many a lovely lay, + Where Beauty did her beauties unarray + In conscious song. I saw young Love his plumes deploy, + And shake their shivering lustres, till the night + Was sprinkled and bedropt with starry play + Of versicoloured light, + To see that poet pass who sang him well; + And I could hear his heart + Throb like the after-vibrance of a bell. + A Strength beside this Beauty, Browning went, + With shrewd looks and intent, + And meditating still some gnarlèd theme. + Then came, somewhat apart, + In a fastidious dream, + Arnold, with a half-discontented calm, + Binding up wounds, but pouring in no balm. + The fervid breathing of Elizabeth + Broke on Christina's gentle-taken breath. + Rossetti, whose heart stirred within his breast + Like lightning in a cloud, a spirit without rest, + Came on disranked; Song's hand was in his hair, + Lest Art should have withdrawn him from the band, + Save for her strong command; + And in his eyes high Sadness made its lair. + Last came a shadow tall, with drooping lid, + Which yet not hid + The steel-like flashing of his armèd glance; + Alone he did advance, + And all the throngs gave room + For one that looked with such a captain's mien: + A scornful smile lay keen + On lips that, living, prophesied of doom. + His one hand held a lightning-bolt, the other + A cup of milk and honey blent with fire; + It seemed as in that quire + He had not, nor desired not, any brother. + A space his alien eye surveyed the pride + Of meditated pomp, as one that much + Disdained the sight, methought; then at a touch, + He turned the heel, and sought with shadowy stride + His station in the dim, + Where the sole-thoughted Dante waited him. + + What throngs illustrious next, of Art and Prose, + Too long to tell; but other music rose + When came the sabre's children: they who led + The iron-throated harmonies of war, + The march resounding of the armèd line, + And measured movement of battalia: + Accompanied their tread + No harps, no pipes of soft Arcadia, + But--borne to me afar-- + The tramp of squadrons, and the bursting mine, + The shock of steel, the volleying rifle-crack, + And echoes out of ancient battles dead. + So Cawnpore unto Alma thundered back, + And Delhi's cannon roared to Gujerat: + Carnage through all those iron vents gave out + Her thousand-mouthèd shout. + As balefire answering balefire is unfurled, + From mountain-peaks, to tell the foe's approaches, + So ran that battle-clangour round the world, + From famous field to field + So that reverberated war was tossed; + And--in the distance lost-- + Across the plains of France and hills of Spain + It swelled once more to birth, + And broke on me again, + The voice of England's glories girdling in the earth. + + It caught like fire the main, + Where rending planks were heard, and broadsides pealed, + That shook were all the seas, + Which feared, and thought on Nelson. For with them + That struck the Russ, that brake the Mutineer, + And smote the stiff Sikh to his knee,--with these + Came they that kept our England's sea-swept hem, + And held afar from her the foreign fear. + After them came + They who pushed back the ocean of the Unknown, + And fenced some strand of knowledge for our own + Against the outgoing sea + Of ebbing mystery; + And on their banner "Science" blazoned shone. + The rear were they that wore the statesman's fame, + From Melbourne, to + The arcane face of the much-wrinkled Jew. + + Lo, in this day we keep the yesterdays, + And those great dead of the Victorian line. + They passed, they passed, but cannot pass away, + For England feels them in her blood like wine. + She was their mother, and she is their daughter, + This Lady of the water, + And from their loins she draws the greatness which they were. + And still their wisdom sways, + Their power lives in her. + Their thews it is, England, that lift thy sword, + They are the splendour, England, in thy song, + They sit unbidden at thy council-board, + Their fame doth compass all thy coasts from wrong, + And in thy sinews they are strong. + Their absence is a presence and a guest + In this day's feast; + This living feast is also of the dead, + And this, O England, is thine All Souls' Day. + And when thy cities flake the night with flames, + Thy proudest torches yet shall be their names. + + O royal England! happy child + Of such a more than regal line; + Be it said + Fair right of jubilee is thine; + And surely thou art unbeguiled + If thou keep with mirth and play, + With dance, and jollity, and praise, + Such a To-day which sums such Yesterdays. + Pour to the joyless ones thy joy, thy oil + And wine to such as faint and toil. + And let thy vales make haste to be more green + Than any vales are seen + In less auspicious lands, + And let thy trees clap all their leafy hands, + And let thy flowers be gladder far of hue + Than flowers of other regions may; + Let the rose, with her fragrance sweetened through, + Flush as young maidens do, + With their own inward blissfulness at play. + And let the sky twinkle an eagerer blue + Over our English isle + Than any otherwhere; + Till strangers shall behold, and own that she is fair. + Play up, play up, ye birds of minstrel June, + Play up your reel, play up your giddiest spring, + And trouble every tree with lusty tune, + Whereto our hearts shall dance + For overmuch pleasance, + And children's running make the earth to sing. + And ye soft winds, and ye white-fingered beams, + Aid ye her to invest, + Our queenly England, in all circumstance + Of fair and feat adorning to be drest; + Kirtled in jocund green, + Which does befit a Queen, + And like our spirits cast forth lively gleams: + And let her robe be goodly garlanded + With store of florets white and florets red, + With store of florets white and florets gold, + A fair thing to behold; + Intrailed with the white blossom and the blue, + A seemly thing to view! + And thereunto, + Set over all a woof of lawny air, + From her head wavering to her sea-shod feet, + Which shall her lovely beauty well complete, + And grace her much to wear. + + Lo, she is dressed, and lo, she cometh forth, + Our stately Lady of the North; + Lo, how she doth advance, + In her most sovereign eye regard of puissance, + And tiar'd with conquest her prevailing brow, + While nations to her bow. + Come hither, proud and ancient East, + Gather ye to this Lady of the North, + And sit down with her at her solemn feast, + Upon this culminant day of all her days; + For ye have heard the thunder of her goings-forth, + And wonder of her large imperial ways. + Let India send her turbans, and Japan + Her pictured vests from that remotest isle + Seated in the antechambers of the Sun: + And let her Western sisters for a while + Remit long envy and disunion, + And take in peace + Her hand behind the buckler of her seas, + 'Gainst which their wrath has splintered; come, for she + Her hand ungauntlets in mild amity. + Victoria! Queen, whose name is victory, + Whose woman's nature sorteth best with peace, + Bid thou the cloud of war to cease + Which ever round thy wide-girt empery + Fumes, like to smoke about a burning brand, + Telling the energies which keep within + The light unquenched, as England's light shall be; + And let this day hear only peaceful din. + For, queenly woman, thou art more than woman; + Thy name the often-struck barbarian shuns; + Thou art the fear of England to her foemen, + The love of England to her sons. + And this thy glorious day is England's; who + Can separate the two? + She joys thy joys and weeps thy tears, + And she is one with all thy moods; + Thy story is the tale of England's years, + And big with all her ills, and all her stately goods. + Now unto thee + The plenitude of the glories thou didst sow + Is garnered up in prosperous memory; + And, for the perfect evening of thy day, + An untumultuous bliss, serenely gay, + Sweetened with silence of the after-glow. + + Nor does the joyous shout + Which all our lips give out + Jar on that quietude; more than may do + A radiant childish crew, + With well-accordant discord fretting the soft hour, + Whose hair is yellowed by the sinking blaze + Over a low-mouthed sea. Exult, yet be not twirled, + England, by gusts of mere + Blind and insensate lightness; neither fear + The vastness of thy shadow on the world. + If in the East + Still strains against its leash the unglutted beast + Of War; if yet the cannon's lip be warm; + Thou, whom these portents warn but not alarm, + Feastest, but with thy hand upon the sword, + As fits a warrior race. + Not like the Saxon fools of olden days, + With the mead dripping from the hairy mouth, + While all the South + Filled with the shaven faces of the Norman horde. + + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Victorian Ode, by Francis Thompson + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK VICTORIAN ODE *** + +***** This file should be named 35922-8.txt or 35922-8.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/3/5/9/2/35922/ + +Produced by The Online Distributed Proofreading Team at +https://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images +generously made available by The Internet Archive.) + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/35922-8.zip b/35922-8.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..9fda357 --- /dev/null +++ b/35922-8.zip diff --git a/35922-h.zip b/35922-h.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..c1a087d --- /dev/null +++ b/35922-h.zip diff --git a/35922-h/35922-h.htm b/35922-h/35922-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..b953816 --- /dev/null +++ b/35922-h/35922-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,726 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" + "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> + +<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> + <head> + <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" /> + <title> + The Project Gutenberg eBook of Victorian Ode: For Jubilee Day, 1897, by Francis Thompson. + </title> + + <style type="text/css"> + + p {margin-top: .75em; text-align: justify; margin-bottom: .75em;} + + body {margin-left: 12%; margin-right: 12%;} + + .pagenum {position: absolute; left: 92%; font-size: smaller; text-align: right; font-style: normal;} + + table {margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;} + + .giant {font-size: 200%} + .huge {font-size: 150%} + .big {font-size: 125%} + + .center {text-align: center;} + + .figcenter {margin: auto; text-align: center;} + + </style> + </head> +<body> + + +<pre> + +The Project Gutenberg EBook of Victorian Ode, by Francis Thompson + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

I saw + In the cloud-sullied moon a pale array, + A lengthened apparition, slowly draw; + And as it came, + Brake all the street in phantom flame + Of flag and flower and hanging, shadowy show + Of the to-morrow's glories, as might suit + A pageant of the dead; and spectral bruit + I heard, where stood the dead to watch the dead, + The long Victorian line that passed with printless tread. + First went the holy poets, two on two, + And music, sown along the hardened ground, + Budded like frequence of glad daisies, where + Those sacred feet did fare; + Arcadian pipe, and psaltery, around, + And stringed viol, sound + To make for them melodious due. + In the first twain of those great ranks of death + Went one, the impress recent on his hair + Where it was dinted by the laureate wreath: + Who sang those goddesses with splendours bare + On Ida hill, before the Trojan boy; + And many a lovely lay, + Where Beauty did her beauties unarray + In conscious song. I saw young Love his plumes deploy, + And shake their shivering lustres, till the night + Was sprinkled and bedropt with starry play + Of versicoloured light, + To see that poet pass who sang him well; + And I could hear his heart + Throb like the after-vibrance of a bell. + A Strength beside this Beauty, Browning went, + With shrewd looks and intent, + And meditating still some gnarled theme. + Then came, somewhat apart, + In a fastidious dream, + Arnold, with a half-discontented calm, + Binding up wounds, but pouring in no balm. + The fervid breathing of Elizabeth + Broke on Christina's gentle-taken breath. + Rossetti, whose heart stirred within his breast + Like lightning in a cloud, a spirit without rest, + Came on disranked; Song's hand was in his hair, + Lest Art should have withdrawn him from the band, + Save for her strong command; + And in his eyes high Sadness made its lair. + Last came a shadow tall, with drooping lid, + Which yet not hid + The steel-like flashing of his armed glance; + Alone he did advance, + And all the throngs gave room + For one that looked with such a captain's mien: + A scornful smile lay keen + On lips that, living, prophesied of doom. + His one hand held a lightning-bolt, the other + A cup of milk and honey blent with fire; + It seemed as in that quire + He had not, nor desired not, any brother. + A space his alien eye surveyed the pride + Of meditated pomp, as one that much + Disdained the sight, methought; then at a touch, + He turned the heel, and sought with shadowy stride + His station in the dim, + Where the sole-thoughted Dante waited him. + + What throngs illustrious next, of Art and Prose, + Too long to tell; but other music rose + When came the sabre's children: they who led + The iron-throated harmonies of war, + The march resounding of the armed line, + And measured movement of battalia: + Accompanied their tread + No harps, no pipes of soft Arcadia, + But--borne to me afar-- + The tramp of squadrons, and the bursting mine, + The shock of steel, the volleying rifle-crack, + And echoes out of ancient battles dead. + So Cawnpore unto Alma thundered back, + And Delhi's cannon roared to Gujerat: + Carnage through all those iron vents gave out + Her thousand-mouthed shout. + As balefire answering balefire is unfurled, + From mountain-peaks, to tell the foe's approaches, + So ran that battle-clangour round the world, + From famous field to field + So that reverberated war was tossed; + And--in the distance lost-- + Across the plains of France and hills of Spain + It swelled once more to birth, + And broke on me again, + The voice of England's glories girdling in the earth. + + It caught like fire the main, + Where rending planks were heard, and broadsides pealed, + That shook were all the seas, + Which feared, and thought on Nelson. For with them + That struck the Russ, that brake the Mutineer, + And smote the stiff Sikh to his knee,--with these + Came they that kept our England's sea-swept hem, + And held afar from her the foreign fear. + After them came + They who pushed back the ocean of the Unknown, + And fenced some strand of knowledge for our own + Against the outgoing sea + Of ebbing mystery; + And on their banner "Science" blazoned shone. + The rear were they that wore the statesman's fame, + From Melbourne, to + The arcane face of the much-wrinkled Jew. + + Lo, in this day we keep the yesterdays, + And those great dead of the Victorian line. + They passed, they passed, but cannot pass away, + For England feels them in her blood like wine. + She was their mother, and she is their daughter, + This Lady of the water, + And from their loins she draws the greatness which they were. + And still their wisdom sways, + Their power lives in her. + Their thews it is, England, that lift thy sword, + They are the splendour, England, in thy song, + They sit unbidden at thy council-board, + Their fame doth compass all thy coasts from wrong, + And in thy sinews they are strong. + Their absence is a presence and a guest + In this day's feast; + This living feast is also of the dead, + And this, O England, is thine All Souls' Day. + And when thy cities flake the night with flames, + Thy proudest torches yet shall be their names. + + O royal England! happy child + Of such a more than regal line; + Be it said + Fair right of jubilee is thine; + And surely thou art unbeguiled + If thou keep with mirth and play, + With dance, and jollity, and praise, + Such a To-day which sums such Yesterdays. + Pour to the joyless ones thy joy, thy oil + And wine to such as faint and toil. + And let thy vales make haste to be more green + Than any vales are seen + In less auspicious lands, + And let thy trees clap all their leafy hands, + And let thy flowers be gladder far of hue + Than flowers of other regions may; + Let the rose, with her fragrance sweetened through, + Flush as young maidens do, + With their own inward blissfulness at play. + And let the sky twinkle an eagerer blue + Over our English isle + Than any otherwhere; + Till strangers shall behold, and own that she is fair. + Play up, play up, ye birds of minstrel June, + Play up your reel, play up your giddiest spring, + And trouble every tree with lusty tune, + Whereto our hearts shall dance + For overmuch pleasance, + And children's running make the earth to sing. + And ye soft winds, and ye white-fingered beams, + Aid ye her to invest, + Our queenly England, in all circumstance + Of fair and feat adorning to be drest; + Kirtled in jocund green, + Which does befit a Queen, + And like our spirits cast forth lively gleams: + And let her robe be goodly garlanded + With store of florets white and florets red, + With store of florets white and florets gold, + A fair thing to behold; + Intrailed with the white blossom and the blue, + A seemly thing to view! + And thereunto, + Set over all a woof of lawny air, + From her head wavering to her sea-shod feet, + Which shall her lovely beauty well complete, + And grace her much to wear. + + Lo, she is dressed, and lo, she cometh forth, + Our stately Lady of the North; + Lo, how she doth advance, + In her most sovereign eye regard of puissance, + And tiar'd with conquest her prevailing brow, + While nations to her bow. + Come hither, proud and ancient East, + Gather ye to this Lady of the North, + And sit down with her at her solemn feast, + Upon this culminant day of all her days; + For ye have heard the thunder of her goings-forth, + And wonder of her large imperial ways. + Let India send her turbans, and Japan + Her pictured vests from that remotest isle + Seated in the antechambers of the Sun: + And let her Western sisters for a while + Remit long envy and disunion, + And take in peace + Her hand behind the buckler of her seas, + 'Gainst which their wrath has splintered; come, for she + Her hand ungauntlets in mild amity. + Victoria!

Exult, yet be not twirled, + England, by gusts of mere + Blind and insensate lightness; neither fear + The vastness of thy shadow on the world. + If in the East + Still strains against its leash the unglutted beast + Of War; if yet the cannon's lip be warm; + Thou, whom these portents warn but not alarm, + Feastest, but with thy hand upon the sword, + As fits a warrior race. + Not like the Saxon fools of olden days, + With the mead dripping from the hairy mouth, + While all the South + Filled with the shaven faces of the Norman horde. + + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Victorian Ode, by Francis Thompson + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK VICTORIAN ODE *** + +***** This file should be named 35922.txt or 35922.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/3/5/9/2/35922/ + +Produced by The Online Distributed Proofreading Team at +https://www.pgdp.net (This file was produced from images +generously made available by The Internet Archive.) + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.
