The Calcutta Review January 1896

1896

Thus we can almost hear the rush and Ltumble of waters in the line from The Princess " Myriads of rivulets hurrying thro' the lawn " or in this from Enoch Arden: " The sweep Of some precipitous rivulet to the sea " or again in this from Oenone where " the long brook " is dscribed as falling " In cataract after cataract to the sea." In Gareth and Lynette the rapid confused warble of son[...] Again in Demeter and Persephone " the nightingale " says Demeter to her recovered daughter " Saw thee and fl.ish'd into a frolic of song; " where we may observe how admirably the strong accent on flash'd " and the trochaic run of the rest of the line express both the suddenness and the joyousness of the bird's song.

[...] In the background lie the few village streets containing the chaupcil the humble guildhall of the little Municipality common to the use of all the respectable males of the place and used also for the accommodation of guests.
