Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Study of Francis Thompson´s Hound of Heaven With Coventry Patmore I marvel at the profound thoughts and far-fetched splendor of imagery, qualities which ought to place him in the permanent ranks of fame, while even Burne-Jones cries out "Since Gabriel´s Blessed Damosel no mystical words have so touched me as the Hound of Heaven." And may we not add the words of G. K. Chesterton, "with Francis Thompson we lose the greatest poetic energy since Browning. In his poetry as in the poetry of the universe, you can work infinitely out and out, but yet infinitely in and in. These two infinities are the mark of a great poet, and he was a great poet." "The great poetry of it (The Hound of Heaven) transcended in itself and in its influence all conventions," says Wilfrid Meynell, "so that it won the love of a Catholic Mystic like Coventry Patmore; was included by Canon Beeching in his Lyra Sacra among its older high compeers; and gave new heart to quite another manner of man, Edward Burne-Jones." It would be difficult to find another poem in the language that gives such food for thought, so satisfying, so new, that can be read and reread, and always with a relish and a discovery of a new application, or the glimmer of an unseen light. In many poems, one reading suffices, and the mind is sated, for the whole depth is plummeted and all is revealed in a single view. It is not so in this poem. There is a depth that can be sounded, and deeper depths are still there. The vision takes in the view, but other details arise that charm, or surprise, or startle, or evoke admiration at the spiritual insight into the workings of the soul.
