Selected Poems - Algernon Charles Swinburne
Queen Victoria said, 'I am told that Mr Swinburne is the best poet in my dominions,' but his work nevertheless fell into critical neglect after the First World War. The eccentricities of his character and a few anthology pieces were remembered but his novels, criticism, letters - and especially - his poems and verse translations were left to gather dust.In recent years his work has found advocates all over the world and the poetry of our century will be more intelligible to readers familiar with Swinburne's approach to words and meanings. Thomas Hardy and Ezra Pound are just two of the major poets who fell under the spell of his music. As Johnathan Raban wrote, Swinburne had a dazzling facility for delivering words at speed'; he was 'the besotted logophile. No one invested more of his life in words...' Swinburne's enthusiasms, which are based mainly in the Elizabethan period, are broad and sometimes contradictory; he loved Landor and Whitman, Jonson and Blake, Baudelaire and the Marquis de Sade. His poems are radical in many ways and his inclusiveness is refreshing.This selection draws on the full range of Swinburne's poetry and includes comprehensive notes and an introduction.Light, light and light! to break and melt in sunder All clouds and chains that in one bondage bindEyes, hands and spirits, forged by fear and wonder And fierce fraud with hidden knife behind;There goes no fire from heaven before their thunder, Nor are the links not malleable that windRound the snared limbs and sould that ache thereunder; The hands are mighty, were the head not blind. Priest is the staff of king, And chains and clouds one thing, And fettered flesh with devastated mind. Open thy soul to see, Slave, and thy feet are free; Thy bonds and belifs are one in kind, And of thy fears thine irons wroughtHang weights upon thee fashioned of thine own thought.from Songs Before Sunrise
