The dissimilarities of temperament, range
and choice of subjects are manifest, but the outstanding difference is
this: _Georgian Poetry_ has an editor, and the poems it
contains
may be
taken as that editor's reaction to the poetry of the day.

Dante - La Divina Commedia |

Moment when one must
break with the
living memory,
to inter it
- place it in the coffin,
hide it - with
the
brutality
of
placing it there,
raw contact
to see it no longer
except as idealised -
later, no longer him
living, there - but
the germ of his being
taken back into itself -
the germ allowing
thought for him
- sight of him
vision (ideality
of state) and
speech for him
for in us, pure
him, a refining
- become our
honour, the source
of our finer
feelings -
true re-entry
into the ideal
24.

Lies like a moonlit land beyond the sea,
A kingdom lost, toward which the heart of me, Shipwrecked and worn, beats
backward
in distress.

I give first the version of Conington--an excellent specimen of his
skill and its limitations; and I add Pope's imitation--a piece as
graceful as
anything
he wrote:
THINK not those strains can e'er expire,
Which, cradled 'mid the echoing roar
Of Aufidus, to Latium's lyre
I sing with arts unknown before.
