A MUNIFICENT GIFT. The Committee have much pleasure in announcing that an old member

has very generously presented to the Society securities, whose present worth is approximately £800.

. The donor, who desires to remain anonymous, has great faith in the tnfluence of the printed word, and therefore accompanies the gift with the wish" that it may be utilised in some way for the Library."

. There is little doubt that the valuable Lending Library of the Society, WhICh has entirely outgrown its present boundaries, given suitable and ~dequate accommodation, could readily become a really attractive and I~portant feature of the Society's activities, and the Committee at this tIme feel ~reatly encouraged by the receipt of such a generous gift, which, Dot only illustrates the affection in which our Society is held, but the exa~ple of which they trust will prove to be the forerunner of many others, parhcularly at this present juncture of financial stress and anxiety,

LEAGUE OF NATIONS UNION BRANCH. Those interested in the affairs of the League should be pleased to hear

that the Committee of the South Place Branch has again secured the ser­vices of Mr. Leslie Aldous, who will speak on the "Seventh Assembly," at the Public Meeting, to be held at South Place Institute, on Monday, October 18, at 7 p.m.

Mr. Leslie Aldous was present at this year's Assembly at Geneva, and will give an account of his impression.

As is well known, this Assembly has been made specially noteworthy by the entrance of Germany to the League, and the fact that she has been given a permanent seat on the Council. Germany's presence on the League may sooner or later result in the debatable points in the Versailles Treaty being brought up at Geneva for discussion. Whatever attitude that country's representatives, and those of the Allies in the late war, then adopt towards these problems will be a great test of the proper cultivation of the League spirit.

Another interesting feature is the problem raised by the resignation tendered by the Spanish Government, which will not take full effect until two years have elapsed. As this may involve the loss of representation of the Spanish-speaking peoples, particularly those South American countries whose interests have frequently been submitted by the Spanish representatives to the Council, the matter is of no inconsiderable importance.

THE DISCUSSION CIRCLE. The benefits to be derived from discourse with friends when the occa­

sion is made easy for all to express their point of view on subjects which have their private appeal need not be detailed here. Such facilities are present in the Discussion Circle, which will meet on Monday evenings at 6.45 p.m. throughout the autumn, winter and early spring. An invita­tion is extended to all members and friends who are interested in the subjects announced. Visitors who attend the Sunday morning lectures are specially invited.

The nrst meeting will take place on Monday, October 4, at 6.45 p.m., when Mr. J. J. Murphy will give a short paper on "The Wider Ethical Movement," which will be followed by open discussion. Mr. Murphy has recently returned from America, where he has observed the modern tendencies in many of the great centres, and his experiences added to his active association with the ethical movement in this country, will give new point to many question which closely occupy our minds to-day_

W. F.

THE LARK ASCENDING. At South Place we are becoming quite familiar with the poem of

George Meredith bearing this title. As we hear it read from the platform it seems to demand a combined visual and mental attention, particularly in the long opening stanza, which, in form, suggests the peculiar move­ment of the bird, and the sustained lyrical note of his song.

Most of us made our nrst acquaintance with the lark in literature through the song in Cymbe/£ne:

Hark! hark! the lark at heaven's gate sings, And Phrebus 'gins arise,

)

:!\ud in order to fix the words in 'Our memory, we were even accustomed Ito sing them. If any moral significance were contained in this simp,e matural expression, it could only, we thought, have some reference to early nSlDg. Later, when we were introduced to Shelley's famous poem To a Skylark, we became conscious that a new note had entered into literature 'since the utterance of Shakespeare's " native wood notes wild." We learned ,that the note of sadness contained in such lines as :

Our sincerest laught!er With some pain 'is fraught;

'Our sweetest songs are those that tell 'Of saddest thought .

.along with the more poignant bitterness of Keats' reflections in the ode :I'o a Nightingak, was paTt of that great movement of the eighteenth century known as the return to nature, in which the imperfections of our civilisation were deemed to be the resu1t of a departure from natural dictates and desires. The movement was a reversal of the theological orde:r 'of thought which had he1d the wor1d in bondage so long by its insistence that nature was fundamentally evil, and probably received its culminating ·expression in the well·known lines of WaIt Whitman: 3: think I could rurn ,and live with animals, they arc so placid and self.

contain"d, stand and look at them long and long.

They do not sweat and wbine about their oonditioD, They do not lie awake in the da~k and weep ,for their sios, They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God, Not one is dissatisfied.,oot one is demented with the mania of 'Owning

thin.gs,

Not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago, Not one is respectable or unhappy over the whole earth.

When we arrive at Meredith nearly all trace of theconfiict has disap-peared. He urges that

-never 'Voice of ours could say Our inmost in the sweetest way. Like yonder voice al'Oft,

And that we cannot attain to

The song seraphically free Of taint of personality.

The imagery is naturally drawn from rural sources; the woods and brooks, the sheep and kine, the meadows and the fallows, but "the dreams of tabou!: in the town" are not excluded; man and nature are not mutually antagonistic, but are indissolubly united.

But there is another utterance of Meredi.th on the Lark Descending with which we are not so familiar. It may be described as a sort of gastronomic prose poem, and is contained in a letter to Sir William Hardman of February 1, 1863, in the first volume of his published letters. Hardrnan seems to have been an epicure, and to have been dubbed Friar :ruck by his correspondent, who was usually Robin Hood. In the letter In question, however, he signs himself "Robin Laurelpate," and after inviting Hardman to dinner, and telling him of the company he will meet, proceeds:

A new receipt: I try it on Orridge to.night. .. Lark Pood'n!" "A bottom of stout juicy steak, topped by 2 doz. ! bearded oysters, topped

by 1 doz. larks." General sentiment by anticipation-" GalIopschtious ,., r I have an idea that 2 kidneys might be introduced. I have hitherto refrained from touching a lark: not wishing that divine bird to send reproaches to me from heaven and fill the f'>undation of my digestlOn with remorse. Do I degenerate? Is it recklessness? Or the noble prosecution of science, the wish to know all? .

Is there any antagonism between the temper whIch hymns the lark as the possessor of

The voice of one for millions, In whom the millions rejoice For giving their one spirit voice.

and tbat which regards a dozen specimens of the bird as· a choice accom· paniment to steak, oysters and kidneys? We can hardly conceive that Shakespeare would have thought so. Equally w~ can be sure tbat Shelley would bave recoiled from the gastronomic contemplation. Tbe norm.a! Philistine would certainly feel that there was a clashing of incompatibles. But Meredith seems to have been mainly concerned with tbe problem of the digestibility of lark pudding, and he almost rivals Carlyle in bis general anxiety on the dyspeptic question.

It is obvious that we are confronted with what is primarily a matter of sentiment, and it is to be noted that the poetisation of nature, birds and animals has invariably been performed by sentimentalists-from Shelley to W. H. Hudson. Now Meredith did not think sentiment either natural or admirable, but onIy as material for comedy. Writing to Mr. MeyneJY he says:

Give no time to poetry of mine. You will find no sentiment in ;t­except the tragedy of sentiment: it is wild. hither and thither, follow· ing nature.

In his recent book on Meredith, Mr. Priestley has illustrated the absence of feeling in his poetry in most devastating fashion, by quoting a passage from A Faith on Trial, and contrasting it with two well.known passages from Wordsworth and Coleridge-the inferiority in all that the general judgment has hitherto regarded as great poetry is so considerable as almost to stamp Mereditb as a mere weaver of vocables. In a letter to Canon Jessopp, he there emphasises his fundamental creed:

Let men make good blood, I constantly cry. I hold that to be rightly materia'ist-to understand and like nature as she is-is to get on the true divine high road. That we should attain to a healthy humanity, is surely the most pleasing thing in God's sight.

He admired CarIyle greatly, but it is to be feared that the sage of Chelsea would have dubbed him one of the preachers of the gospel of the swine. trough.

One who shares the attitude of Meredith towards those who invest nature and natural objects with a garb of poetic feeling might object that the sentimentalists exalt the lower forms of life to an importance which they do not possess, and tend not only to depress the dignity of the higher mammals, who are represented by men and women, but actually treat some of their fellow creatures with positive ~njustice . The angelic SheIley, for example, who contemplated the sheddmg of the blood of animals with so much abhorrence that he has become a sort of tutelary deity of vege. tarianism, was guilty of treating Harriet Westbrook so badly that her suicide mainly lies at his door. And the later W. H. Hudson, to whom Epstein has brought so much fame and so many visitors to the bird ~anctuary establishe? in his memory in Hy~e Park, who left money to wcu1cate a systemahc form of teachwg to chlldren the love of birds and who during his lifetime was wont to occupy much time in deno~cing the wearers of egrets-this bird lover does not seem to have been con. spicuous as a lover of his kind, and it is particularly curious that his liking for human beings appears to have been chiefly confined to those who approximated most nearly to the animal type. But the sentimentalist might rejo~n: A~mitting t?ese cases of defective sympathy, does your anti. senhmentailst, Meredlth, emerge any better from a similar test? And it would have to be conceded that, on the human side, Meredith is not

1

\free hom Teproach. Those who regard him as a champion of. tbe cause >Of women, find it difficult not to be repelled by the story of .hIS conduct towards his first wife and the subsequent estrangement of hIS elder son makes very melancholy reading. There is the very trite saying that we are an miserable sinners-but this is taking us a long way from the lark ascending, and our immediate problem, which is : When we hear in future:

Yet men have we, whom we revere, Now names, and men still housing here, Whose lives, by many a battle dint Defaced, and grinding wheels on flint, Yield substance, though they sing not, sweet For song our highest heaven to g;reet,

-shall we be able to forget that one 'of these men, who viewed the lark -singing till his heaven filled, instilling the love of earth, thought that the 10ve of earth included cooking larks in a pudding, with steak, oysters, and ~idneys.? ·Or is this reflection only the rag of a d~scredited sentimentalism?
