43. The Richard Vallance Sonnet Review, August 2002 - Walter De La Mare's "Silver" Walter De la Mare (18731956). You may also wish to peruse it at these links.1. Here, if you would like to acquaint yourself with musical adaptations of http://www.poetrylifeandtimes.com/valrevw12.html

Richard Vallance. August 2002 Vallance Review: The Sonnet as the Landscape of Mystery Walter de la Mare’s "Silver" INTRODUCTION Look out your window the next night there is a full moon. It doesn’t matter whether you’re in the city or the country. Something strange has happened: the house across your very own street, the (gas) street lamps, the fields, the trees and the fence grills have all been transformed by the light of the moon. It has somehow made them appear at once simpler and more mysterious. It has bathed them in a magical aura , which has transformed a number of apparently unrelated objects into the elements of a unique backdrop. Lyric poetry causes this effect, "by the light of the silvery moon". It makes things simultaneously simpler and more mysterious. It reveals hidden relationships, which we had never seen in our lives. This aptitude for simplicity the lyric poem has borrowed from song. (translation mine). Citation d'origine : Regardez par votre fenêtre la prochaine nuit qu’il y aura pleine lune. Que vous soyez à la ville ou à la campagne importe peu. Les maisons d’en face, la rue familière, les becs-de-gaz, les champs, les arbres et les grilles : il leur est arrivé quelque chose. Mais le clair de lune leur a prêté comme un aspect plus simple et plus mystérieux à la fois ; il les a revêtus d’une sorte d’éclat magique, si bien qu’au lieu d’un certain nombre d’objets différents - sans relation apparente - ils sont devenus les éléments d’un décor unique. La poésie lyrique produit cet effet de clair de lune. Elle rend les choses à la fois plus simples et plus mystérieuses ; elle révèle des ensembles que nous n’avions pas vus clairement auparavant. Et cette aptitude à simplifier est le don que le poème lyrique a reçu de la chanson.

Back To Contents Page Stories Primarily For Children Prose Texts "The world Walter de la Mare fixed in his gaze at once veiled and half-disclosed a realm beyond sense and time. The meaning and the reality of things lie off-centre, off stage. What delights and moves him, what mystifies and disturbs him, derives its beauty and power from the unseen and the unknown. [...] De la Mare has the power to penetrate the surface of things and leave the reader dissatisfied with the opacity of a world seen by less piecing eyes." H. Blamires Walter de la Mare (1873-1956) has always been best known for his poetry, but for many people, W H Auden and Graham Greene included, his prose merits comparison with the richness of Henry James and Robert Louis Stevenson. Moreover, Angela Carter notes the resemblance that de la Mare's stories have to the vivid and unsettling intensity of the French Surrealists. Over the years his work has influenced writers from W H Auden and William Golding to Russell Hoban and Richard Adams. Henry Brocken The Return (1910) and Memoirs of a Midget (1921) are de la Mare's three full-length novels. The main short stories collections from those listed below are

Walter de la Mare Poetry on Peace Walter de la Mare: Peace Peace Edited by Peter Y. Chou WisdomPortal.com PEACE Night is o'er England, and the winds are still; Jasmine and honeysuckle steep the air; Softly the stars that are all Europe's fill Her heaven-wide dark with radiancy fair; That shadowed moon now waxing in the west Stirs not a rumour in her tranquil seas; Mysterious sleep has lulled her heart to rest, Deep even as theirs beneath her churchyard trees. Secure, serene; dumb now the night-hawk's threat; The guns' low thunder drumming o'er the tide; The anguish pulsing in her stricken side.... All is at peace....But, never, heart, forget: For this her younges, best, and bravest died, These bright dews once were mixed with bloody sweat. "Peace" from Memory and Other Poems PEACE A heart to be at peace with, Wisdom at peace to be; To love no less though loved no more Be all the hope in me.

"GRAVE YARD" Half-hidden in a grave yard, In the blackness of a yew, Where never living creatur stirs, Nor sunbeam pierces through' Is a tomb-stone, green and crooked - Its faded legend gone - With one rain-worn cherub's head To sing of the unknown. There, when the dusk is falling, Silence broods so deep It seems that every air that breathes Sighs from the fields of sleep. Day breaks in heedless beauty, Kindling each drop of dew, But unforsaking shadow dwells Beneath this lonely yew And, all else lost and faded, Only this listening head Keeps with a strange unanswering smile Its secret with the dead.

Some praise for Walter de la Mare and Memoirs of a Midget Read a recent review by Michael Dirda in the Washington Post Read a recent review by Frank Wilson in the Philadelphia Inquirer "Sentences, pages, whole chapters cause us to catch our breath; we turn the leaves back a second, a third time to submit ourselves to the spell of a magic phrase." The Atlantic Monthly "For centuries to come, this book will inspire imaginative people. Beyond all doubt, it will be an ingredient of future poetry." Rebecca West "After a long period of neglect de la Mare may be beginning to be seen as the remarkable writer that he is." John Bayley, The New York Review of Books "Here is a great book." New York Times Book Review "It seems to me a perfect, utterly original novel, and no one but a poet could have written it The book is totally idiosyncratic and yet there isn't a line you couldn't identify yourself with." Harry Mathews

Philadelphia Inquirer Sunday, Feb. 29, 2004 A 1921 novel takes an original perspective. By Frank Wilson Inquirer Book Editor Memoirs of a Midget By Walter de la Mare Paul Dry Books. 379 pp. $14.95 Originality is routinely touted as essential to artistic merit. So why isn't Walter de la Mare's Memoirs of a Midget better known? It's certainly original enough. Indeed, there's nothing else quite like it. It may have something to do with how hard it is to put your finger on what exactly makes it so. It has nothing to do with either the form of the narrative or the style of the writing, neither of which is in any way innovative. In fact, though first published in 1921, Memoirs of a Midget reads as if it were written decades earlier - which is altogether appropriate, since the story is set during one of the later decades of the 19th century. Nor does the novel's individuality have anything to do with the unusual stature of its protagonist. To be sure, Miss M. is quite small. Her exact dimensions are never given, but she is clearly a miniature, for whom ordinary stairs - and books - are hard to manage, and who frequently is carried about on a padded tray. I think it is safe to estimate her height at about 30 inches.

ALL THAT'S PAST by: Walter de la Mare (1873-1956) ERY old are the woods; And the buds that break Out of the briar's boughs, When March winds wake, So old with their beauty are Oh, no man knows Through what wild centuries Roves back the rose. Very old are the brooks; And the rills that rise Where snow sleeps cold beneath The azure skies Sing such a history Of come and gone, Their every drop is as wise As Solomon. Very old are we men; Our dreams are tales Told in dim Eden By Eve's nightingales; We wake and whisper awhile, But, the day gone by, Silence and sleep like fields Of amaranth lie.

Multipart Surnames Compound Surnames Multipart Surnames Complex Surnames Sometimes personal names involve more than a single surname. They may include compound surnames, multipart surnames and combinations of these. Cross-references are usually made from each part of the surname. Examples of each type are listed below. Note that USMARC has recently discontinued the use of the second indicator for use with multipart and complex surnames as described below. The Library of Congress only began using the new coding in January 2000. Queen's will synchronize it's practice with LC When using the new coding, please ensure that each record is internally consistent . In other words, when you use the new code in one field in a record, please make sure that you use the new code throughout the same record. In addition, please be aware that the CLARR utility checks for consistency with the indicators as well as the actual heading; if you intend to use CLARR to check a bibliographic record, you should probably do so before updating the coding.
