Le Dernier voyage: Nouvelles et autres textes courts  (MON PETIT EDITE) (French Edition)

---

Because my translation is in prose, I see no reason after all why we should not make an exception in his favour — especially as Landor of which I am most pleased is considered by poets as a true poet and particularly for his prose poetry. I have added the charming poem Lewti to my Coleridge. Regards to lord Bollicini. I will need at least a dozen of these little pieces.

But after this holy land, you know well that like you it is the south of England that I prefer. These days I also reread, after having translated Keats the Odes , your "I have too happy been" it is a charming piece that I had at first — mea culpa — read very foolishly. I will reread your 2 volumes before your arrival and will be better prepared to give you my opinion about them.

G I have translated Mutability very beautiful except the awful pleonasm in the 2 first verses — PS fortunately the last one makes up for the whole thing. I am very happy to have both books because I really enjoy these "imaginary conversations". I will read with great pleasure Epicurus and Leontion but will not translate it - because with what I have already translated it would be too long. I translated today the very pretty story of Enallos and Cymodamelia. I will translate the Hamadryad again I think and would like to finish with Rose Aylmer and some of the short poems at the end of the volume.

The verses are charming, but to my mind what you like so much about her is mainly your love for Devonshire landscapes. What I mean is that you project yourself a little in your reading. Also reread London Nights. The 1st poem August — The Escape are very good the Impressions are also suggestive of light and especially London noise or any other big city.

Regards You must come at least for 8 days on the 20th. I suppose you are referring to a specific type of "Lyric" — because in the Golden Treasury that you gave me there are, if I am not mistaken, three parts — first those very poets of the time of Elizabeth — then a second part in which Blake is in himself but in which others who were there before him have also written "Lyrics". And then have not Dryden and Milton, who came after Elizabeth and before Blake also written "Lyrics"? There is here something that my ignorance of English poetry does not permit me to understand.

If it does not exist you will explain it to me when you come but what I would like for the time being is, if you can spare the time, for you to leaf through a Blake collection and find one or two beautiful poems 2nd card or poem excerpts somewhere in his work. I translated yesterday - tiger tiger — a cradle song. It is very good.

But as you can understand poems lose a lot of their quality in French and it is rather unsatisfactory! I should not have asked you to copy them in poems. I will endeavour to include one or two verses from Thyrsis and the Scholar Gipsy in my literary notice — I have now finished Byron. Landor very good translation! Swinburne and Shelley almost. I would like to have finished all my translations for your arrival so we can go over them together — or at least some passages together and we can discuss the notices that I still need to write.

The preface is all I want. If you see Johnson tell him that his mysterious and wild bardic Friend Yeats ought to send me, not his large book on Blake — but a study, an essay as he is sure to have written one and as he - Yeats- promised me once to do. You begin to understand quite well what a good thing is a postcard and the lot you can write on it. Everything you have told me about Blake is clear and you include Dryden and Milton in the Elizabethans — and if you put Burns aside — then I understand very well without any other explanation what you were telling me.

If I ask for an essay on Blake it is to have details about these literary works. Rest assured, our holidays will not be compromised by the inspection of my work. Everything will be settled for it to be over — for our discussions it is another thing and while we stroll and eat and smoke I will interview you about the Lyrists but you like them well enough for it to be pleasant for you.

Then I will review the whole — annotate it and I will wait for our discussions before I write my critical notices. As you speak so clearly about Blake, could you give me an explicit, precise and conclusive definition of a lyrist — it is difficult to say because Browning who has written drama is not a lyrist. Aeschylus, Shakespeare, through their dramas only are lyrists. What is a lyrist? I eagerly anticipate your next p. But what is this new book you are speaking of — the one you are writing at Florence.

You can congratulate him on my behalf if he still remembers me. If you are happy with what you have seen I am certainly as happy to have seen it again with you and that my two favourite parts of Belgium, the pious and silent Bruges and the Meuse which I refrain from commenting upon, in deference to your poem — that I will delight in reading pleased you and inspired you with poems. When you come back to Bruges bring it along, we will read it as we go in a canoe along one of the sleeping canals. The book — very gorgeous — I received yesterday is perfect and will be very useful to me — if you would be kind enough when you are at the British to copy out the notices relevant to — Bowning, Arnold, and Christina it would be perfect — what I mean by notices — only 4 or 5 lines of biographical information — for those 3 poets — with the notices I have concerning them — it will be more than enough.

I have already written to Seeley — I told him we were in Bruges together — that you had hired! I have also sent a little poem — a bad one — to the Pall Mall G[azette] and I have resumed work today thanks to your book — very happy with my holidays and thanking you most sincerely for having come. Oft in the stilly night E. Parental recollections Hood I remember I remember — The death bed. That is definitely all now. I am happy I added these names because Campbell, Moore, Lamb, Wolfe and Hood deserve to be there and it is complete from the point of view of the public with the addition of Scott, E.

Do read in the same Heroic line the poem by V. Do not read anything else in the volume — apart from the Chevaliers Errants. The poem you have sent me is very beautiful and I would translate it easily if I could include you in my anthology — but it will be for another edition — in which I will be both pleased and proud to give you a central stand. I wished for the dedication you gave me — I am very happy to have it and send you my most heartfelt thanks. And Coronach, which is the best verse of all — I did not translate it because I do not know what Coronach means and what it has to do with Duncan.

I wrote half of my preface yesterday and hope to have finished it by today or tomorrow — that was the most difficult — the notices will go quickly and I am finally able to catch my breath. The weather is more beautiful since 2 days. I will resume my sonnet!

Quels sont les livres français les plus populaires à recommander aux débutants ?

Impossible to put everything on a single card! I wanted to tell you that I cannot go to London because I have neither time nor money — and especially not time — the anthology is a useful volume though it is but a hobby — I will not be happy until I have finished it. It is my poem that I will resume as soon as the anthology is done — but I was thinking this morning that we should nonetheless see each other more often — and we could do it if not every month at least every other month for a day. According to the guide a train leaves Charing Cross at 5. So as soon as you can write to me and I will go to Bruges — when we will have had enough of Bruges — we could go to the sea — and we could also see each other more often by each going half the way towards the other.

The 2 addresses are Mlle Evrard 12 etc. Thank you very much. And finally, thank you for the biographies — when you will have sent me the six proper lines on Christina you shall be free! Regards to H[erbert]P[ercy]H[orne] X. Before anything else let me congratulate you on your red ink — quite beautiful and do tell me where it came from when you write next — thank you for the biographies and the indications I asked for.

I will translate Coronach and Donuil Dhu. The announcement of a photograph of Rossetti is a fascinating thing to me — I still admire him immensely — and no modern painter has yet matched those feelings. I will write to Jackson as soon as I receive it. I suppose you have seen Seeley? And that he has told you that he would write to me what he did write, that is that Bruges would not be a success — it has troubled me — and somewhat compromised my voyage to Italy — but not in the least discouraged — I have nearly finished writing the preface I was worrying about — the notices will go fast and I can then go back to my poem.

I read all day today a large biography on Emily B. When I next go out I will send it. Thank you for the journals and indications about Morris. We agree about what you say of him as a poet and on the pieces that should be translated. I want to write this article because what I loved?

I will send you the article when it is published. About what you tell me of Mr. So if Mr Garnett would be kind enough to write a letter of introduction for me for Mr Angellier I will write or call on him to ask if there is a way I could reach Hachette — and if not Hachette another — please thank Mr Garnett on my behalf and believe me, dear friend — yours eternally grateful — thank you for Seeley as well of course and do not worry anymore. I have received the beautiful Shoolbread Miss Evrard is "aux anges" a pretty expression which you do not have [in English] and is very grateful to you.

And thank you very much for it. I had not written to acknowledge receipt of your postcard because it said "Garnett is writing" so I waited from day to day to tell you at the same time that I received the letter. I have been very busy all week writing my article on Morris for the next issue of the Mercure de France it is only half done but I hope to have finished by tomorrow or Monday and I am rather pleased about it.

I will write to Angellier as soon as I have finished the article that they are expecting at the Mercure and I have already written to Mr Garnett to thank him. Next week I will resume my preface that I have rewritten — because I would like to explain two things — how the taste for English literature came to France 2. The main differences between the two poems.

It has never been properly explained and is not an easy task. Thus I presume that I will only have finished the anthology by the end of the month. And you, what have you been up to and why are you so "hurried"? Thank you for the ink and maple. Dunque let me first answer your card. Angellier I will write to him this morning — I went to see his two books on Burns at the library yesterday. The work is remarkably well done exhaustive and well written. I had found … address on his book thank you. Lemerre Paris Pierrot narcisse. His collection is one of the best collections of prose poems that I know.

He has only sold three! And to know that the British has accepted his book would be for him a little pleasure I would be glad to have contributed to — I have written a good article — better at least than those on him that I have seen — for the next Mercure de France. There will be a special issue I think.

I will probably add one or two beautiful poems by Morris — translated — and some reproductions … to his work that will make for an amusing "presentation". I have read the Saturday Review and the Athenaeum at the Library without finding the article mentioned by H[erbert]P[ercy]H[orne] which I found amusing as it made me believe that once again it had come too late!

With my warmest regards. It would be amusing yet also baffling this correspondence with a deceased person. I suppose that in a few days or a few weeks the French post will send me back my letters but what seems certain is that this mischievous man is not in Lille anymore and I do not know where to find out his address.

Has his volume of sonnets been published after the "Burns"? If it has I could in that case write to the address that you gave me, but I think his volume of sonnets was published before. Would you believe it my dear friend — I am ashamed to say so — that I will not have finished my volume until the end of the month! I was held up by my article on Morris which appeared in the last issue of the Mercure and that I will send on although it will not be very interesting to you.

That one is very well done.

Table of Contents

I summarized well the postcards you sent me about him and after having thought about the Macmillan books that I recommend in my volume I wrote to him to ask if he deems it appropriate to send me the 4 volumes by Humphrey Ward? And with the explanations that I gave him I believe he will send them and I will then be able to send yours back after having kept it for so long.

I saw again a volume today that I think is very well done — by a Florentine poet - Domenico Tumiati. I thought I would give you both pleasure by asking him to send you this interesting and poetically inspired volume — and by promising that you would mention it or would have it mentioned by the Saturday Review.

So if you are not doing artistic books for the Saturday look through the volume when you get it — then send it on — and recommend it please — to the editor of the Saturday Review — and if possible when ours will have come out — send it please to Domenico Tumiati-Ferrara. I realize that I have forgotten to tell you that the topic of the volume is our dear friend "Fra Angelico" I read yesterday some prose translated by Lamb - The South Sea House and Oxford in the Vacation, it is exquisite.

As soon as I go out I will buy the Tauchnitz that is about him to read it in English and make him a "good" notice. And you my dear friend, what have you been doing. I hope you will also need two cards to tell me about it and I send you my warmest regards. Could we not meet at Bruges at Xmas?

I have asked the author of "Fra A. Cantagalli 1 via Michele di Lando. And now, listen — if I wrote a clear and detailed letter to Garnett explaining in detail the content of the volume either Garnett or Colvin do you think one of them might recommend me to Hachette?

I also think as my Parisian friend does that the recommendation of a director of the British would have more weight than that of Angellier — supposing he would answer, which seems unlikely. Please advise me on what you deem is the best thing to do. If Garnett is surprised because Angellier has not answered tell him I am all the more puzzled — because I had naturally written a particularly cordial letter to Ang.

If you think that it is too complicated, do say so freely because I am starting to think that the best thing to do would be to take a train at the end of the month and explain myself to Hachette without further ado. He asks me to send my notebook on Keats that I had offered to send him so he could look at my translations. I will send it to him tomorrow and suggest to go and see him on Sunday to show him all of my work. I hope it will work out but I do not dare speak of when I will be through with my notices as they each take a day or two to finish.

And I still have 12 to do! Would you please thank Mr Garnett on my behalf for his kind suggestion of an introduction to Beljame Angellier is evidently better. I will write myself to Garnett to thank him as soon as something is arranged - your Praise of Life is most welcome. I envy you and beg you to forgive me if I do not write anymore today as I am weighed down considerably by all these notices I still have to do.

Regards, and till next week. Thank you for your card. The arrangements for Italy are perfect and I hope we will be able to tour Tuscany together. I am not really concerned about it though because I must before anything else finish my notices and my preface and I will be busy at it until Dec You would be most kind and extremely patient as well for how much information have I not asked from you!

If you could give me a little more information about Christina Rossetti and Swinburne. One postcard for each would be perfect. But you have time to do so at your convenience because they are the two last poets I will do and I will not need the information for another eight or ten days. I am very curious to see your woodcuts because it is the only kind of sculpting that I value.

Regards and a thousand apologies for disturbing you again with this anthology. PS I do not think any editor would consent to publish the text in English, considering. But I thought that what I could do is to append one or two original short poems to give an idea of their verse. I was very grateful when I received it — belatedly because of the silly Christmas and New Year disturbances and thank you warmly.

I remembered at the same time that I have not yet sent you the strange novel by Barbey which I told you about. Since the 1st of this month my anthology is almost finished and I have resumed my poem on the Wise Men, my progress is very slow but I am very happy to be working at it. I wrote to Angellier ten days ago to ask him to send me a letter of introduction for Hachette and once again there is no answer.

I will wait till the end of this week and then write directly to Hachette. How far are you on your great poem with the "tousled? Horne says his mother is writing again on Botticini!! I am greatly pleased my dear Laurence that you in turn will lock yourself up for a month for a kind of "anthology" of Norwich poets. At the end of the month you will sympathise all the more with the great misfortune that befell upon me when I took on this Sisyphean task.

Your postcard on Norwich is charming and if I come to England this summer we must go there together as you say — finished, my anthology? Perhaps on the 31st of January will I be rid of it — the camels did not fall in the snow but one of the Wise Men started talking with such loyalty that I simply cannot stop him — he talks at night in the mountains — and every day I must throw more wood over the fire for the people who are listening to him.

If he goes on he will burn every pine tree in the mountains, but I have no more influence over him than Mr Speaker would have on a member of the House of Commons and I am resigned to let him have it his way. Angellier is a pig. He never answered my letters and I have now written to my friend Primoli and expect his reply. It will delay the Rois Mages — and we will thus both be busy at our "great poem" throughout summer.

It is really a very good engraving. I do not like the last Strange. But you very cleverly understood the strength and simplicity of the old wood engraving masters. And between Image and Lamb there is at the very least a difference in hairstyle!
