AN ODE
The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heavens, a shong frame
Then great Origmal proclaim.
The unwearred sun from day to day
Does his Creator's power display,
And publishes to every land
The work of an almighty Hand.
Soon as the evening dudes prevail. The moon takes up the wondrous tale. And nightly, to the listening earth. Repeats the story of her birth, Whilst all the stars that round her b And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they roll. And spread the truth from pole to pole.
What though it tulen silence all Move round the dark terrestrial ball? What though rio real voice nor sound
Amid then radiant orbs be found?.
In reason's ear they all rejoice,
*
And utter forth a glorious voice,
For ever singing as they shine,
"The Hand that made us is divine!"
-Joseph Addison,
The poem is cortainly one of the most daring and original works, that havo boon published for many years púst in vither England or Wales. It consists of twenty-seven linked sonnets, and is a realistic study in sexual psychology. The poet'e “recolluc- lons" are all of the turmoil of Nox-promptings in the opening years of manhood, of wrestlings with the urgent power of material lovo. The work in certainly of high poetic and artistic merit. Horo in roal passion without ralicenco. It may be a truo.) accusation that the subject is morbid. But, hoalthy or un- healthy, tho vorses contain pas- sages of great beauty, and they are pormeated with a glow of sen- auous passion that is not often oquailed in literature.
The poem voicos a wonderful oxpression of the sheer intoxica- tion of love-all the sights and sounds of naturo in spring-time, a ringing chorus to the call of one lover's soul to the other and, among many other poignant passages, paints a dark picture of the deep humiliation and abase- ment of the shamed and guilty pair, walking homowards to gether, silent in the knowledge of their sin. There follows a depair- ing outburst of regret that this einful friendship should have be- fallen in the years whon tom- ptatation in strongst. Could the lovers but have met at niso instead of at eighteen! Then, as children together, they could have campod in the heuthor, paddted in the Jako or, plucking flowers, have remained puro and innocent, knowing nothing of this wild, demonic impulse that bas turned their companionship to a momory foul and detested,
