Heinrich Heine, p. 144
Essays in Criticism (1865)

Matthew Arnold On Translating Homer

On Translating Homer (1861)

“O born in days when wits were fresh and clear,
And life ran gaily as the sparkling Thames;
Before this strange disease of modern life,
With its sick hurry, its divided aims,
Its heads o’ertax’d, its palsied hearts, was rife.”

It flutter’d and fail’d for breath.
To-night it doth inherit
The vasty Hall of Death.”

With echoing straits between us thrown,
Dotting the shoreless watery wild,
We mortal millions live alone.”

Sail and sail, with unshut eye,
Round the world for ever and aye?
When did music come this way?
Children dear, was it yesterday?”

Still clutching the inviolable shade,
With a free, onward impulse brushing through,
By night, the silver’d branches of the glade.”

Our Scholar travels yet the loved hillside.”

St, 24
Thyrsis (1866)

“Physician of the Iron Age,
Goethe has done his pilgrimage.
He took the suffering human race,
He read each wound, each weakness clear —
And struck his finger on the place,
And said — Thou ailest here, and here.”

St. 3
Memorial Verses (1852)

“The whole scope of the essay is to recommend culture as the great help out of our present difficulties; culture being a pursuit of our total perfection by means of getting to know, on all the matters which most concern us, the best which has been thought and said in the world; and through this knowledge, turning a stream of fresh and free thought upon our stock notions and habits, which we now follow staunchly but mechanically, vainly imagining that there is a virtue in following them staunchly which makes up for the mischief of following them mechanically.”

Letter to Arthur Hugh Clough (12 February 1853)

The Forsaken Merman (1849)

“Thee at the ferry Oxford riders blithe,
Returning home on summer-nights, have met
Crossing the stripling Thames at Bab-lock-hithe,
Trailing in the cool stream thy fingers wet,
As the punt’s rope chops round.”
