# The Collected poems of Rupert Brooke/The Funeral of Youth: Threnody

​ THE FUNERAL OF YOUTH: THRENODY
The day that Youth had died, There came to his grave-side, In decent mourning, from the country's ends, Those scatter'd friends Who had lived the boon companions of his prime, And laughed with him and sung with him and wasted, In feast and wine and many-crown'd carouse, The days and nights and dawnings of the time When Youth kept open house, Nor left untasted Aught of his high emprise and ventures dear, No quest of his unshar'd— All these, with loitering feet and sad head bar'd, Followed their old friend's bier. Folly went first, With muffled bells and coxcomb still revers'd; And after trod the bearers, hat in hand— Lauglder, most hoarse, and Captain Pride with tanned And martial face all grim, and fussy Joy, Who had to catch a train, and Lust, poor, snivelling boy; These bore the dear departed. Behind them, broken-hearted, Came Grief, so noisy a widow, that all said, "Had he but wed Her elder sister Sorrow, in her stead!" And by her, trying to soothe her all the time, The fatherless children, Colour, Tune, and Rhyme (The sweet lad Rhyme), ran all-uncomprehending. Then, at the way's sad ending, ​Round the raw grave they stay'd. Old Wisdom read, In mumbling tone, the Service for the Dead. There stood Romance, The furrowing tears had mark'd her rougèd cheek; Poor old Conceit, his wonder unassuaged; Dead Innocency's daughter, Ignorance; And shabby, ill-dress'd Generosity; And Argument, too full of woe to speak; Passion, grown portly, something middle-aged; And Friendship—not a minute older, she; Impatience, ever taking out his watch; Faith, who was deaf, and had to lean, to catch Old Wisdom's endless drone. Beauty was there, Pale in her black; dry-eyed; she stood alone. Poor maz'd Imagination; Fancy wild; Ardour, the sunlight on his greying hair; Contentment, who had known Youth as a child And never seen him since. And Spring came too, Dancing over the tombs, and brought him flowers— She did not stay for long. And Truth, and Grace, and all the merry crew, The laughing Winds and Rivers, and lithe Hours; And Hope, the dewy-eyed; and sorrowing Song;— Yes, with much woe and mourning general, At dead Youth's funeral, Even these were met once more together, all, Who erst the fair and living Youth did know; All, except only Love. Love had died long ago.

​Hoskins, Hon. James, M.L.C., was born in London in 1823, and emigrated to Australia in 1853. After a varied experience on the diggings, he was elected in 1859 to the Legislative Assembly of New South Wales for the Northern Goldfields. In 1872 he was returned for Patrick's Plains, and in 1874 for the Tumut. Mr. Hoskins was Secretary for Public Works in the Parkes Government from March ​to August 1877, and Secretary for Lands in the Parkes-Robertson Ministry from Dec. 1878 to Dec. 1881. He was nominated to the Legislative Council in Feb. 1889.
# The Dictionary of Australasian Biography/Hotham, Captain Sir Charles

Layout 2
​Hotham, Captain Sir Charles, R.N., K.C.B., was the eldest son of Rev. Frederick Hotham, Prebendary of Rochester, and grandson of Lord Hotham, a Baron of the Court of Exchequer. His mother was Anne Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Thomas Hallett Hodges, of Hemsted Place, Kent. He was born at Dennington, Suffolk, of which his father was then rector, in 1806, and entered the navy in Nov. 1818, and saw a great deal of active service, becoming lieutenant in 1825, commander in 1828, post-captain in 1833, and K.C.B. in March 1846, in recognition of his gallant action off the coast of South America in the previous November, when he ascended the Parma River, and, with a very insufficient contingent, defeated the vastly superior forces of General Rosas at Punta Obligado, destroying four batteries and twenty-five ships which barred his passage. In Dec. 1853 Sir Charles married Jane Sarah, daughter of Lord Bridport and widow of Hugh Holbech, of Farnborough, Warwick, who survived him, and married, thirdly, in 1860, Captain Armytage, R.N. He was employed on various diplomatic missions, and ultimately appointed to succeed Mr. Latrobe as Governor of Victoria, arriving in Hobson's Bay on June 21st, 1854. Though well intentioned, Sir Charles Hotham was somewhat imprudent, and thus increased the difficulties of a difficult situation. It is to his credit that he at once recognised the growing force of the popular movement, which just before his death resulted in the concession of full autonomous institutions to the Victorian colonists. His strength was overtaxed in grappling with the enormous difficulties of the financial situation, the opposition to the policy of the Home Government in regard to the influx of convicts, and the troubles over the diggers' licences, culminating in the regrettable bloodshed at Ballarat. Whatever his failings as a proconsul, it must not be forgotten that under his régime responsible government was conceded to Victoria, the extravagance of the finances redressed, and the exclusion of convicts finally accepted as an unalterable principle both by the local and the imperial administrations. During his governorship, too, a great advance was made in material progress, the Hobson's Bay Railway and the Melbourne Gas Works being inaugurated during his tenure of office. Sir Charles died in Melbourne on the last day of the year 1855, from a choleraic affection resulting in epilepsy. The Legislative Council voted £1500 to defray the expenses of his funeral, and for the erection of a monument to his memory.

​Horne, Hon. Thomas, formerly Puisne Judge, Tasmania, entered at Lincoln's Inn, and was called to the Bar in 1827. Having emigrated to Tasmania, he was called to the Bar of that colony Feb. 22nd, 1830.

# The Dictionary of Australasian Biography/Horne, Richard Henry

Layout 2
​Horne, Richard Henry, or Hengist, as he preferred to be called, was born on Jan. 1st, 1803, was educated at Sandhurst, and entered the Mexican navy as a midshipman. He was present at the bombardment of Vera Cruz, the capture of the fortress of San Juan, Ullva, and followed the fortunes of the Mexican-Spanish war to its close. He next went to the United States, visiting several Indian encampments, and experiencing many adventures. Returning to England, he devoted himself to literature. Among his published works are "The Spirit of Peers and People," "The Death of Marlowe," "Cosmo de Medici," "Gregory VII.," dramas on the Elizabethan model, and "Orion," the poem by which he is mainly known. This latter work, an epic poem, was originally published at a farthing, partly with the view of obtaining a wide circulation for the first three editions of the work, of which no one was allowed to buy more than one copy. In 1846 Mr. Horne published "Ballads and Romances." He was also a prolific prose-writer, and edited and partly wrote "Spirits of the Age," which comprises accounts of some of the leading characters of the day. To this work Mrs. Barrett Browning was a contributor. Mr. Horne left England in 1852 for Victoria with William Howitt, and for some time commanded the gold escort between Ballarat and Melbourne. He also became one of the champion swimmers of Australia, and it is stated that he once swam bound hand and foot. He held various positions in the Victorian Civil Service. He was a member of the Board of Commissioners of Sewers and Water Supply, which planned and constructed the reservoir at Yan Yean, nineteen miles from Melbourne, whence the city still draws its water supply. At a déjeuner given when the Yan Yean works were in a forward state, he made an elaborate speech, and subsequently recorded these and other of his colonial experiences in a work entitled "Australian Facts and Prospects," published by Smith, Elder & Co. in 1859. Mr. Horne returned to England in 1869, and was awarded a civil list pension of £100 per annum in 1874. In 1877 he collected and published the letters addressed to him by Mrs. Barrett Browning, and this is the only correspondence of Mrs. Browning's that has been given to the public. Mr. Horne died at Margate on March 13th, 1884.

# The Dictionary of Australasian Biography/Howitt, Alfred William

Layout 2
​Howitt, Alfred William, the well-known explorer, who is Secretary for Mines in Victoria, is a son of the late William and Mary Howitt, the distinguished authors, and went to Victoria while still a youth. Whilst engaged in squatting pursuits, he gained a reputation as a fearless and energetic bushman; and when the relief party which was sent in quest of the Burke and Wills expedition was projected in 1861, Mr. Howitt was chosen leader. Near Swan Hill he met Brahe returning with the intelligence that Burke had not returned to the depôt. Mr. Howitt was reinforced and sent forward. He crossed the Darling near Wilcannia, and directing his course towards the Stokes ranges (reached and named by Sturt in 1845), passed McAdam Range, Wilkie's Creek, Mount Shillinglaw, McLeays Plains, and finally the depôt at Fort Wills, on Cooper's Creek, on September 8th. On the 16th the party found King, the survivor; two days after they buried the remains of Wills, and on the 21st those of Burke. The relief party, with King, returned to Melbourne on Nov. 28th, 1861. It having been determined that the remains of Burke and Wills should be brought to Melbourne, Mr. Howitt was again sent to Cooper's Creek with a stronger party. They left Melbourne on Dec. 1st, 1861; reached Fort Wills on Feb. 18th, 1862, after making several excursions in various directions and discovering Baleman's, Burrell's, Phillip's, O'Donneld's, and Williams' creeks, and Lake Short. Mr, Howitt finally left Cooper's Creek in Oct. 1862, arriving, with the remains of Burke and Wills, in Adelaide on Dec. 11th, and in Melbourne on Dec 28th, 1862. Mr. Howitt, for these and other services, was appointed police magistrate of Victoria and stationed in Gippsland, where he resided first at Bairnsdale and latterly at Sale. He has made a profound study of the ethnology and characteristics of the natives of Australia; and in 1880 published a work, in conjunction with the Rev. L. Fison, on the marriage customs of two noted tribes. Mr. Howitt has also made a scientific and practical study of gold mining, and was the leader of more than one Government prospecting party. His exceptional capabilities in this direction were recognised by his appointment in 18— as Secretary for Mines in Victoria, a position he still holds. Mr. Howitt married a daughter of the late Judge Boothby, of Adelaide.
# The Devachanic Plane/Conclusion

CONCLUSION
In glancing over what has been written, the prominent idea is not unnaturally a humiliating sense of the utter inadequacy of all the attempts at description — of the hopelessness of any effort to put into human words the ineffable glories of the heaven-world. Still, lamentably imperfect as such an essay as this must be, it is yet better than nothing, and it may serve to put into the mind of the reader some faint conception of what awaits him on the other side of the grave; and though when he reaches this bright realm of bliss he will certainly find infinitely more than he has been led to expect, he will not, it is hoped, have to unlearn any of the information that he has here acquired.
Man, as at present constituted, has within him principles belonging to two planes even higher than the mental, for his Buddhi represents him upon what from that very fact we call the buddhic plane, and his Atmâ (the divine spark within him) upon that third plane of the solar system which has usually been spoken of as the nirvanic. In the average man these highest principles are as yet almost entirely undeveloped, and in any case the planes to which they belong are still more beyond the reach of all description than is the mental. It must suffice to say that on the buddhic plane all limitations begin to fall away, and the consciousness of man expands until he realizes, no longer in theory only, but by absolute experience, that the consciousness of his fellows is included within his own, and he feels and knows and experiences with an absolute perfection of sympathy all that is in them, because it is in reality a part of himself; while on the nirvânic plane he moves a step further, and realizes that his consciousness and theirs are one in a yet higher sense, because they are all in reality facets of the infinitely greater consciousness of the logos, in Whom they all live and move and have their being; so that when "the dewdrop slips into the-shining sea" the effect produced is rather as though the process had been reversed and the ocean poured into the drop, which now for the first time realizes that it is the ocean — not a part of it, but the whole. Paradoxical, utterly incomprehensible, apparently impossible; yet absolutely true.
But this much at least we may grasp — that the blessed state of Nirvâna is not, as some have ignorantly supposed, a condition of blank nothingness, but of far more intense and beneficent activity; and that ever as we rise higher in the scale of nature our possibilities become greater, our work for others ever grander and more far-reaching, and that infinite wisdom and infinite power means only infinite capacity for service, because they are directed by infinite love.
# The Devachanic Plane/Inhabitants

INHABITANTS
In our endeavour to describe the inhabitants of the mental plane it will perhaps be well for us to divide them into the same three great classes chosen in the manual on the astral plane — the human, the non-human, and the artificial — though the sub-divisions will naturally be less numerous in this case than in that, since the products of man's evil passions, which bulked so largely there, can find no place here.
# The Devachanic Plane/Inhabitants/III

III. ARTIFICIAL
Very few words need be said upon this branch of our subject. The mental plane is even more fully peopled than the astral by the artificial elementals called into temporary existence by the thoughts of its inhabitants; and when it is remembered how much grander and more powerful thought is upon this plane, and that its forces are being wielded not only by the human inhabitants, embodied and disembodied, but by the Devas and by visitors from higher planes, it will at once be seen that the importance and influence of such artificial entities can hardly be exaggerated. It is not necessary here to go over again the ground traversed in the previous manual as to the effect of men's thoughts and the necessity of guarding them carefully; and enough was said in describing the difference between the action of thought on the rûpa and arûpa levels to show how the artificial elemental of the mental plane is called into existence, and to give some idea of the infinite variety of temporary entities which are so produced, and the immense importance of the work that is constantly done by their means. Great use is made of them by Adepts and their initiated pupils, and it is needless to say that the artificial elemental formed by such powerful minds as these is a being of infinitely longer existence and proportionately greater power than any of those described in dealing with the astral plane.

# The Devachanic Plane/Author's Note

AUTHOR'S NOTE
Since further enquiry has shown that the word "Devachan" is etymologically inaccurate and misleading, the author would prefer to omit it altogether, and to issue this manual under the simpler and more descriptive title of "The Mental Plane". The publishers inform him, however, that this alteration of title would cause difficulties in the matter of copyright, and produce confusion in various ways, so he defers to their wishes.
