HENLEY, William Ernest Born: August 23, 1849 in Gloucester, Gloucestershire, England Died: June 11, 1903 in Woking, near London, England William Ernest Henley was a prolific English poet and journalist who encouraged and supported many of his contemporaries. He was the oldest of five sons born to a Gloucester book seller, William Henley, and Emma Morgan Henley. He suffered from asthma, tuberculosis and osteomyelitis and, as a child, had one foot amputated. He attended the Crypt School where he was influenced by poet and teacher Thomas Edward Brown. Although he had plans to attend Oxford, the death of his father meant that he couldn't afford the tuition. He spent 1873 and 1874 in an Edinburgh hospital. Under the care of an innovative surgeon, Joseph Lister, his second foot was saved from amputation. During these years, he read voluminous numbers of books and learned French, Spanish and Italian. He fell in love with Anna Boyle, the sister of another patient, and married her in April 1878. They had one daughter who died at age six. In his collection of poems

84. Poetry Of The Sea - O Falmouth Is A Fine Town O Falmouth Is a Fine Town by William Ernest. Henley, This is intriguing. WilliamErnest Henley (18491903) was a well-known poet, editor and critic. http://theworld.com/~dduncan/poetry/falmouth.html

RETURN to Index O Falmouth Is a Fine Town by William E[rnest]. Henley This is intriguing. William Ernest Henley (1849-1903) was a well-known poet, editor and critic. His best-known poem, at least to recent generations of American high-schoolers, is "Invictus". Therefore it's odd to find one of his poems which is also a folk-song "Ambletown", aka "Home, Dearie, Home" (although the name of the town is changed, and the sailor learns he is with child by letter). In fact, this was written in an Edinborough hospital in 1878 (published in Henley's "Book of Verses", 1888, and probably independently at an earlier date), and it was noted that "the burthen and the third stanza are old." These apparently are derived from either one of the versions of the song identified by Laws as "Rosemary Lane" (K 43) or a common ancestor. [For texts and tunes to several of these, search The Digital Tradition for (DT)"#319" or (Laws)"K43".]

Home Up Me In Memoriam ... Philosophy William Ernest Henley (1849 - 1903) Double Ballade on the Nothingness of Things The big teetotum twirls, And epochs wax and wane As chance subsides or swirls; But of the loss and gain The sum is always plain. Read on the mighty pall, The weed of funeral That covers praise and blame, The -isms and the -anities, Magnificence and shame: "O Vanity of Vanities!" The Fates are subtle girls! They give us chaff for grain. And Time, the Thunderer, hurls, Like bolted death, disdain At all that heart and brain Conceive, or great or small, Upon this earthly ball. Would you be knight and dame? Or woo the sweet humanities? Or illustrate a name? O Vanity of Vanities! We sound the sea for pearls, Or drown them in a drain; We flute it with the merles, Or tug and sweat and strain; We grovel, or we reign; We saunter, or we brawl; We search the stars for Fame, Or sink her subterranities; The legend's still the same: "O Vanity of Vanities!" Here at the wine one birls, There some one clanks a chain.

I loooooove it and you have warmed my heart immensely. - Thank you. Holly Smith hsmss@co.boulder.co.us> Go to the review in question Dear Mr. Gallagher: Thank you for sending us the article on " Disability and Russia " which has been posted in this issue of RALPH. I hope this letter reaches you before they consign you to the gulag. Your speech was great. I only wish you had space to recount the story of Senator Margaret Chase Smith, the self- appointed keeper of the sanctity of the Senate Office Building Parking Garage, who used to skulk about, hide behind pillars so she could chase you out, forbid your parking there - even though you worked for a fellow Senator. And, of course, the then young Robert Kennedy, who you described as shyly setting down his diet Coke before he pulled you and your wheelchair up the curb. However, in your Tennyson quote, you got it wrong.

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

Index of Third-Party Works Biographical Sketch Oscar Fingal O'Flaherty Wills Wilde, born in 1854 in Dublin, Ireland, was the second son of Sir William Robert and Lady Jane Francesca Wilde. At the age of ten, Wilde entered the well-known Portora Royal School, where he excelled in Greek studies. His interest in Greek continued at Trinity College, Dublin, where John Mahaffy, an eminent Greek scholar who later took Wilde on a tour of Italy, was his tutor. Wilde was awarded a scholarship in classics from Magdalene College, Oxford, which he entered in 1874. During his fourth year at Oxford, Wilde won the prestigious Newdigate Prize for imitative poetry with a verse praising Ravenna, a city he had visited with Mahaffy and the burial site of Dante. In addition to his studies, Wilde began to develop his role as poseur and aesthete. Wilde received his BA in 1878 and, after an additional year at Oxford, went to London where he began writing. In 1880 Wilde published Vera; or, The Nihilists, and in 1881 he was hired by Richard D'Oyly Carte to boost Gilbert and Sullivan's new opera Patience in America by means of a lecture tour. Dressed in black velvet and a full length fur coat, he spoke on the new aestheticism from New York to San Francisco. He met with Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Louisa May Alcott, Walt Whitman, and Jefferson Davies, among others.
