To return for a moment to the current OF the
narrative. we may point out that the story Of
WHEN and Merlin. which forms the subject OF
Tcnnyson's well-known idy really belongs to
the Tristram legend. 1t Is one OF the tales re-
counted in the colioquies between Tristrara
and Iseult at Joyous Gard" tho strong castle
in the north in which Launceot had given the
reunited lovers refuge. Tennyson's version of
the Viven episode is too familiar to be cited.
even for the purpose OF comparison. but the
reader may like glance at Mr.. Arnolds treat
ment Of the story. 1t so happens that. in this
single instance. Mr.. Arnold enters into much
more detail than does Mr.. Swinburne. who per-
haps for the reason that the scene in the forest
of Broceliande had been painted so carefully by
Dir. Tennyson. confines himself to an allusion
to the method OF the cnchantment wrought and
diates on the strange yet not unhappy expert
ence OF Merlin in his trancelike existence.
Let us hear Mr.. Arnold first:

Mr.. Arnold. 1t will be observed. makes Iseult
tell the story. In Mr., Swinburnes version,
which follows it is Iseult who questions and
Tristram that recounts the tale:
