# A Murmur in the Trees—to note—

A Murmur in the Trees — to note — Not loud enough — for Wind — A Star — not far enough to seek — Nor near enough — to find —
A long — long Yellow — on the Lawn — A Hubbub — as of feet — Not audible — as Ours — to Us — But dapperer — More Sweet —
A Hurrying Home of little Men To Houses unperceived — All this — and more — if I should tell — Would never be believed —
Of Robins in the Trundle bed How many I espy Whose Nightgowns could not hide the Wings — Although I heard them try —
But then I promised ne'er to tell — How could I break My Word? So go your Way — and I'll go Mine — No fear you'll miss the Road.

# A Motor Courtship

Into her presence he gaily pranced, A very fat spark, and a bit advanced.
With a Samson tread on the earth he trod, He was stayed and gaitered, and fifty odd.
And she was a tulip just unfurled, The sweetest thing in the motor world.
Her body was one of which poets dreamed; Eighteen -- twenty, or so she seemed.
Her air was haughty, her spirit proud, But properly governed, as all allowed.
"Pity," he said, "my sad condition; My heart's in a state of advanced ignition.
"Ask me to do some desperate deed, And I'll do it at once at my topmost speed."
"Sir," said the maiden, "pray be seated; I fear from your bearing you're somewhat heated.
"And I trust that a timely lubrication Of throttle will cool your circulation."
As a well-made mixture she indicated, With joy and gladness he radiated.
"Oh, come," said he, "in this soft spring weather, Let us run over the world together!"
But she slipped his clutch with a gesture mocking, "Your heart," she said; "I can hear it knocking.
"You haven't the gear at my pace to last; Both men and motors -- I like them fast.
"And I think that in me you have missed your mission; You are only an old-style tube-ignition!"
With a sidelong motion he left the place; For weal or woe he was off his base.
He drove his car to the cliffs of Dover, Made one short circuit and ran her over.
And the stormy Petrol her rest is taking, Where only the wild waves do the "brakeiing".

# A Mountain Station

I bought a run a while ago On country rough and ridgy, Where wallaroos and wombats grow -- The Upper Murrumbidgee. The grass is rather scant, it's true, But this a fair exchange is, The sheep can see a lovely view By climbing up the ranges.
And She-oak Flat's the station's name, I'm not surprised at that, sirs: The oaks were there before I came, And I supplied the flat, sirs. A man would wonder how it's done, The stock so soon decreases -- They sometimes tumble off the run And break themselves to pieces.
I've tried to make expenses meet, But wasted all my labours; The sheep the dingoes didn't eat Were stolen by the neighbours. They stole my pears -- my native pears -- Those thrice-convicted felons, And ravished from me unawares My crop of paddy-melons.
And sometimes under sunny skies, Without an explanation, The Murrumbidgee used to rise And overflow the station. But this was caused (as now I know) When summer sunshine glowing Had melted all kiandra's snow And set the river going.
Then in the news, perhaps, you read: "Stock Passings. Puckawidgee, Fat cattle: Seven hundred head Swept down the Murrumbidgee; Their destination's quite obscure, But, somehow, there's a notion, Unless the river falls, they're sure To reach the Southern Ocean."
So after that I'll give it best; No more with Fate I'll battle. I'll let the river take the rest, For those were all my cattle. And with one comprehensive curse I close my brief narration, And advertise it in my verse -- "For Sale! A Mountain Station."

# A Mystery (Whittier)

The river hemmed with leaning trees Wound through its meadows green; A low, blue line of mountains showed The open pines between.
One sharp, tall peak above them all Clear into sunlight sprang I saw the river of my dreams, The mountains that I sang!
No clue of memory led me on, But well the ways I knew; A feeling of familiar things With every footstep grew.
Not otherwise above its crag Could lean the blasted pine; Not otherwise the maple hold Aloft its red ensign.
So up the long and shorn foot-hills The mountain road should creep; So, green and low, the meadow fold Its red-haired kine asleep.
The river wound as it should wind; Their place the mountains took; The white torn fringes of their clouds Wore no unwonted look.
Yet ne'er before that river's rim Was pressed by feet of mine, Never before mine eyes had crossed That broken mountain line.
A presence, strange at once and known, Walked with me as my guide; The skirts of some forgotten life Trailed noiseless at my side.
Was it a dim-remembered dream? Or glimpse through ions old? The secret which the mountains kept The river never told.
But from the vision ere it passed A tender hope I drew, And, pleasant as a dawn of spring, The thought within me grew,
That love would temper every change, And soften all surprise, And, misty with the dreams of earth, The hills of Heaven arise.

# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Clarke, Samuel

​Clarke, Samuel (1675-1729).—Divine and metaphysician, b. at Norwich, was ed. at Camb., where he became the friend and disciple of Newton, whose System of the Universe he afterwards defended against Leibnitz. In 1704-5 he delivered the Boyle lectures, The Being and Attributes of God, assuming an intermediate position between orthodoxy and Deism. In 1712 he pub. views on the doctrine of the Trinity which involved him in trouble, from which he escaped by a somewhat unsatisfactory explanation. He was, however, a powerful opponent of the freethinkers of the time. C. also pub. an ed. of the Iliad, a Latin translation of the Optics of Newton, on whose death he was offered the Mastership of the Mint, which, however, he declined.
# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Cockburn, Henry

​Cockburn, Henry (1779-1854).—Scottish judge and biographer, b. (probably) and ed. in Edin., became a distinguished member of the Scottish Bar, and ultimately a judge. He was also one of the leaders of the Whig party in Scotland in its days of darkness prior to the Reform Act of 1832. The life-long friend of Francis Jeffrey, he wrote his life, pub. in 1852. His chief literary work, however, is his Memorials of his Time (1856), continued in his Journal (1874). These constitute an autobiography of the writer interspersed with notices of manners, public events, and sketches of his contemporaries, of great interest and value.
# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Colenso, John William

​Colenso, John William (1814-1883).—Mathematician and Biblical critic, b. at St. Austell, Cornwall, and ed. at St. John's Coll., Camb., where he was a tutor, entered the Church, and pub. various mathematical treatises and Village Sermons. In 1853 he was appointed first Bishop of Natal. He mastered the Zulu language, introduced printing, wrote a Zulu grammar and dictionary, and many useful reading-books for the natives. His Commentary on the Romans (1861) excited great opposition from the High Church party, and his Critical Examination of the Pentateuch (1862-1879), by its then extreme views, created great alarm and excitement. He was in 1863 deposed and excommunicated by Bishop Gray of Cape Town, but confirmed in his see by the Courts of Law. His theological writings are now largely superseded; but his mathematical text-books, for the writing of which he was much better equipped, hold their place.
# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Cobbe, Frances Power

​Cobbe, Frances Power (1822-1904).—Theological and social writer, was b. near Dublin. Coming under the influence of Theodore Parker, she became a Unitarian. Her first work, pub. anonymously, was on The Intuitive Theory of Morals (1855). She travelled in the East, and pub. Cities of the Past (1864). Later she became interested in social questions and philanthropic work, and wrote many books on these and kindred subjects, including Criminals, Idiots, Women and Minors (1869), Darwinism in Morals (1872), and Scientific Spirit of the Age (1888). She was a strong opponent of vivisection.
# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Coleridge, Hartley

​Coleridge, Hartley (1796-1849).—Poet, eldest s. of Samuel T. C. (q.v.), b. at Clevedon, spent his youth at Keswick among the "Lake poets." His early education was desultory, but he was sent by Southey to Oxf. in 1815. His talents enabled him to win a Fellowship, but the weakness of his character led to his being deprived of it. He then went to London and wrote for magazines. From 1823 to 1828 he tried keeping a school at Ambleside, which failed, and he then led the life of a recluse at Grasmere until his death. Here he wrote Essays, Biographia Borealis (lives of worthies of the northern counties) (1832), and a Life of Massinger (1839). He is remembered chiefly for his Sonnets. He also left unfinished a drama, Prometheus.
# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Cleveland, John

​Cleveland, John (1613-1658).—Poet, s. of an usher in a charity school, was b. at Loughborough, and ed. at Camb., where he became coll. tutor and lecturer on rhetoric at St. John's, and was much sought after. A staunch Royalist, he opposed the election of Oliver Cromwell as member for Camb. in the Long Parliament, and was in consequence ejected from his coll. in 1645. Joining the King, by whom he was welcomed, he was appointed to the office ​of Judge Advocate at Newark. In 1646, however, he was deprived of this, and wandered about the country dependent on the bounty of the Royalists. In 1655 he was imprisoned at Yarmouth, but released by Cromwell, to whom he appealed, and went to London, where he lived in much consideration till his death. His best work is satirical, giving a faint adumbration of Hudibras; his other poems, with occasional passages of great beauty, being affected and artificial. The Poems were pub. in 1656.
# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Clinton, Henry Fynes

​Clinton, Henry Fynes (1781-1852).—Chronologist, b. at Gamston, Notts, ed. at Southwell, Westminster, and Oxf., where he devoted himself chiefly to the study of Greek. Brought into Parliament by the Duke of Newcastle in 1806, he took no active part in political life, and retired in 1826. He bought in 1810 the estate of Welwyn, and there he entered upon wide and profound studies bearing upon classical chronology, and wrote various important treatises on the subject, viz., Fasti Hellenici, Civil and Literary Chronology of Greece, part i. (1824), part ii. (1827), part iii. (1830), part iv. (1841), Fasti Romani, Civil and Literary Chronology of Rome and Constantinople, vol. i. (1850), vol. ii. (1851), An Epitome of the Civil and Literary Chronology of Greece (1851), the same for Rome (1853). He also wrote a tragedy, Solyman, which was a failure.
# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Clough, Arthur Hugh

​Clough, Arthur Hugh (1819-1861).—Poet, s. of a cotton merchant in Liverpool, he spent his childhood in America, but was sent back to England for his education, which he received at Rugby and Oxf. While at the Univ., where he was tutor and Fellow of Oriel, he fell under the influence of Newman, but afterwards became a sceptic and resigned his Fellowship in 1848. In the same year he pub. his poem, The Bothie of Tober-na-Vuolich, written in hexameters. After travelling on the Continent for a year, he was in 1849 appointed Warden of Univ. Hall, London. In 1849 appeared Amours de Voyage, a rhymed novelette, and the more serious work, Dipsychus. In 1854 he was appointed an examiner in the Education Office, and married. His last appointment was as Sec. of a Commission on Military Schools, in connection with which he visited various countries, but was seized with illness, and d. at Florence. C. was a man of singularly sincere character, with a passion for truth. His poems, though full of fine and subtle thought, are, with the exception of some short lyrics, deficient in form, and the hexameters which he employed in The Bothie are often rough, though perhaps used as effectively as by any English verse-writer. M. Arnold's Thyrsis was written in memory of C.
# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Cobbett, William

​Cobbett, William (1762-1835).—Essayist and political writer, b. at Farnham, Surrey, s. of a small farmer, his youth was spent as a farm labourer, a clerk, and in the army, in which his good conduct and intelligence led to his promotion to the rank of sergeant-major. After moving about between England and America, and alternating between journalism and agriculture, in the former of which his daring opposition to men in power got him into frequent trouble and subjected him to heavy fines in both countries, he settled down in England in 1800, and continued his career as a political writer, first as a Tory and then as a Radical. His violent changes of opinion, and the force and severity with which he expressed himself naturally raised up enemies in both camps. In 1817 he went back to America, where he remained for two years. Returning he stood, in 1821, for a seat in Parliament, but was unsuccessful. In 1832, however, he was returned for Oldham, but made no mark as a speaker. C. was one of the best known men of his day. His intellect was narrow, but intensely clear, and he was master of a nervous and idiomatic English style which enabled him to project his ideas into the minds of his readers. His chief writings are English Grammar, Rural Rides, Advice to Young Men and Women. His Weekly Political Register was continued from 1802 until his death.
# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Cockton, Henry

​Cockton, Henry (1807-1852).—Novelist, b. in London, is only remembered as an author for his novel of Valentine Vox (1840), the adventures of a ventriloquist.
