his Manfred music is a mistake and a misunder-
standing to the extent of injustice; Schumann,
with his taste, which was fundamentally a petty
taste (that is to say, a dangerous propensity-
doubly dangerous among Germans - for quiet
lyricism and intoxication of the feelings), going
constantly apart, timidly withdrawing and retiring,
a noble weakling who revelled in nothing but
anonymous joy and sorrow, from the
beginning
a
sort of girl and noli me tangere—this Schumann
was already merely a German event in music, and
no longer a European event, as Beethoven had
been, as in a still greater degree Mozart had been;
with Schumann German music was threatened with
its greatest danger, that of losing the voice for the
soul of Europe and sinking into a merely national
affair.

After the dinner at the Court all the members of the congress were invited to a vast throne hall (near the supposed site of Solo-
mon's throne), and the Emperar, addressing the
representatives of the Catholic hierarchy, told them that the well-being of their Church clearly de-
manded from them the immediate
election
of a worthy successor to the apostate Peter, that in the circumstances of the time the election must needs be
a summary one, that his the Emperor's presence as that of the leader and representative of the whole
Christian world, would amply make up for the in- evitable omissions in the ritual, and that he on behalf of all the Christians suggested that the Holy College elect his beloved friend and brother Apollonius, so that their close friendship could firmly and in-
unite Church and State for their / mutual benefit.

Such
discordance
between the words and the music
is a very serious defect--an evil, which cannot pos-
sibly be obviated by any thing short of perfect uni-
formity in the corresponding feet and verses of the
different stanzas, unless the musical composer shall
set the entire piece to music, from beginning to end.

Relentless, savage, hot, and grim the
infuriate
columns press
Where terror simulates disdain and danger is largess,
Where greedy youth claims death for bride and agony seems bliss.

War Poetry - 1914-17 |
|
This Plague, which first in Country Towns began,
Cities and
Kingdoms
quickly over-ran;
The dullest Scriblers some Admirers found,
And the*Mock-Tempest was a while renown'd:
But this low stuff the Town at last despis'd,
And scorn'd the Folly that they once had pris'd;
Distinguish'd Dull, from Natural and Plain,
And left the Villages to Fleckno's Reign.

form of doubts and questions, adds to the one question so many
unsettled questions that there inevitably works up around it a sort of
fatal brew, a stinking mess, made up of its doubts, emotions, and of
the contempt spat upon it by the direct men of action who stand
solemnly about it as judges and arbitrators, laughing at it till their
healthy sides ache.
