If we could dare to write as ill As some whose voices haunt us till, Even we, perchance, might call our own Their deep enchanting undertone. We are too diffident and nice, Too much afraid of faults to be The flutes of bold sincerity.

The green and scarlet of the Park, The undulating streets at dark, The brown smoke blown across the blue, This colored city we walk through; The pallid faces full of pain, The field-smell of the passing wain, The laughter, longing, perfume, strife, The daily spectacle of life; Ah! how shall this be given to rhyme, By rhymesters of a knowing time? Ah! for the age when verse was clad

NPG 2205 Jpg: National Portrait Gallery From: The World Book Sir Edmund Gosse, knighted much later in life (1849-1928), Poet and writer; son of Philip Henry Gosse. He was born Sept. 21, 1849, London, Eng. and died May 16, 1928, London. He was an English translator, literary historian, and critic who introduced the work of Henrik Ibsen and other continental European writers to English readers. Gosse was the only child of the naturalist Philip Henry Gosse. His mother having died when he was young, he was taken by his father to St. Mary Church, near Torquay, Devon, where he grew up, attending neighbouring schools. Living in a strict religious household, he came to know nonreligious poetry, fiction, and other literature only surreptitiously. He nevertheless secured employment on the library staff of the British Museum from 1865 to 1875, was a translator for the Board of Trade for some 30 years, lectured on English literature at Trinity College, Cambridge, from 1885 to 1890, and finally was librarian to the House of Lords from 1904 to 1914. Gosse was a prolific man of letters who was quite influential in his day. He translated three of Ibsen's plays [Scandinavian author], notably Hedda Gabler (1891) and The Master Builder (1892; with W. Archer). He wrote literary histories, such as 18th Century Literature (1889) and Modern English Literature (1897), as well as biographies of Thomas Gray (1884), John Donne (1899), Ibsen (1907), and other writers. Some of his many critical essays were collected in French Profiles (1905).

Edmund W. Gosse (1849-1928) On a Lute Found in a Sarcophagus Alcyone (A Sonnet in Dialogue) The Tomb of Sophocles On a Lute Found in a Sarcophagus What curled and scented sun-girls, almond-eyed, With lotus blossoms in their hands and hair, Have made their swarthy lovers call them fair, With these spent strings, when brutes were deified, And Memnon in the sunrise sprang and cried, And love-winds smote Bubastis, and the bare Black breasts of carven Pasht received the prayer Of suppliants bearing gifts from far and wide! This lute has outsung Egypt; all the lives Of violent passion, and the vast calm art That lasts in granite only, all lie dead; This little bird of song alone survives, As fresh as when its fluting smote the heart Last time the brown slave wore it garlanded. Alcyone (A Sonnet in Dialogue) What voice is this that wails above the deep? Alcyone. A wife's, that mourns her fate and loveless days. What love lies buried in these waterways? Alcyone. A husband's, hurried to eternal sleep. Cease, O beloved, cease to wail and weep! Alcyone.

20. The Victorian Sonnet 18451907); Field, Michael ; Alice Meynell (1847-1922); William ErnestHenley (1849-1903); Edmund W. Gosse (1849-1928); Edward Cracroft http://www.sonnets.org/victoria.htm

The Victorian Sonnet Much poetry of the Victorian period is no longer very highly esteemed, for reasons that seem apparent after reading a number of sonnetsa sentimental self-indulgence and what F. R. Leavis called an "inferiority, in rigour and force, of intellectual content." Yet, when looked at individually, the poems are often graceful and moving, and their worst, most conventional excesses seem no more ridiculous than the stock courtly love sequences of the 16th and 17th centuries. Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861), who wrote Sonnets from the Portuguese to her husband ( Robert Browning (1812-1889)), is probably the most genuinely popular (and critically maligned) sonneteer of this period. Other British Victorian writers included here are Thomas Hood Charles Tennyson Turner (1808-1879), and his more famous brother, Alfred, Lord Tennyson Matthew Arnold (1822-1888), best known for "Dover Beach," wrote several sonnets. George Meredith (1828-1909) wrote a lengthy sequence, Modern Love , about the ruin of his marriage. Although the sequence consisted of rhymed sixteen-line iambic pentameter poems, ever since the poet and critic Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837-1909) praised these poems as sonnets (and Meredith used the term himself in Sonnet 30 ), they have been widely accepted as specimens of the form. In addition to Meredith and Swinburne, the late 19th century
