Bear : in ‘mind" ‘Tristram of â€" Lyonâ€" esse‘" is designated by the author as a narrative poem, and at the. same time Jlacks everything that a nattaâ€" ive poem should : possess. It .

The great English reading world is not mistaken in its own sense of. moralâ€" ity, . and ( not : even . the gentus® . of Swinburne can preserve from oblivion those poems that are really defective in art, â€"because they are in, some reâ€" spectsâ€" immoral. 20 9 When a poet .has failed to. produce phrases and sentences that the« gehâ€" efal mind accepts. as of.universal valâ€" ue, he is not on the same plane with our Wordsworths, Brownings or Tenâ€" nySORS, . & * While â€" Mr., . Swinmurne has publishâ€" ed over.six volumes of verse, he has written no line that lingers in the general mind of mankind, he‘ has no where uttered what might: justly be ‘}.etme'd a great thought.. This could Tnot have been the case if he . were really a great poet. His prime deâ€" ect is the brilliancy of â€" marvellous vocabulary. No poet ever surpassed him in the use of â€"rich, : â€"picturesque and sprrited words. He is â€"a wonderâ€" lul‘ musician in words. Whole pages are luminous migts of language, the meaning indefinite and inexact,â€" but with sonorous pomps of sound. His works abound with allusions to the great .objects of nature, the sun, the sky, the moon, day and night; ‘but he has not viewed these ~great objects in rélation to man and his duties of toâ€"day, he bhas viewed naâ€" ture only through the haze of _ a morbid, distorted highly intellectual and cultivated tmagination as well as through the haze of a London _ fog. Mr. (®"A. Swinburne is therefore a poet of power whose thought is drowned ‘out by the exuberance of a rich but meaningless vocabulary. of picturesgite words, and when Trme has got in his work &nd the _ caduâ€" lcit,v .of these poems have passed away ‘n»second‘rate poet of the Victorian Swinmurne has publishâ€" ageâ€"is all of Mr. Charles ‘Algernon Swincburne that will romain. r In "Peoms and Ballards®*‘ the poet‘s genius is displayed in a most remarkâ€" able series of verses ©that manifes® postical power and insight to a most }w degree.
