probable that he would gain such a prize.
From 1919 to 1924 his brother Edward was
the English Ambassador at the French
Court. In 1898 his brother Henry became
Master Of the Revels TO King James. Few
mobiles were more influential than Herbert's
kinsman, the Earl OF Pembroke. But he
seems TO have offended the Duke OF Buck
ingham. and between 1923 and 1925 most OF
his powerful friends died. SO he resigned
the oratorship, and his period Of vacillation
and ambition came 10 an end.
Had Herbert died in 1923 he would have
left no name in letters, State or Church.
The short remainder Of his life was his bios
soming time. In the year named he was
appointed lay prebendary Of the parish OF
Leighton, ten miles from Huntington. Inc
appointment was apparently htenoed,
like the previous one ct Whit{ord, TO yieio
q stipend without duty; but 1t was accepted
In a different spirit. Herbert solicited ano
contributed funds for the rebuilding OF
tho ruined church, and In his will left q legacy
for the purpose. In 1929 he married Jane
Danvers, q relative Of the Earl Of Dandy,
q woman Of beauty and independent means.
In April, 1880, he was instituted to the rector
ship Of Fuggleston -cum-Bemerton, n
1--WE months afterward was ordained a
priest. In tho reotory which he built at
Bemerton were spent the three years OF
literary activity which give Significance
to his life. The exact date Of his death Is
not known. but he was buried on March 3,
1888.

III.

In a discussion Of Herbsrt's religious
poetry the editor does not fail to note that
Herbert, while protesting against tba
Elizabethan love poems, does not object
to their strangely elaborate and artificial
methods. What he objects to Is that the
matter OF such verse Is unequal to the
manner. What he seems to cay Is: Here
is q vast expenditure OF good brains on
trivial stuff. The love talked about IL
ephemeral, and there Is no true beauty
there. Put solid love, love OF the eternal
sort, underneath this lovely enchanting
language. sugar cane, honey of roses, and
we shall have a worthy union Accord
ingly Herbert tries to give the love lyric
body by applying its secular methods to
sacred subjects. Imagine Shakespeare's
sonnets with God as the adored object.
instead Of a lovely boy, and we shall proba-
bly, ave something like what Herbert was
dreaming off, He honors and initiates the
poetry he attacks. nor is the imitation con-
fined to diction. 1t extends to situations as
well. In a word. Herbert shows himself
In his religious poetry a veritable lover of
the true Petrarchan type, In his poem
A Parodie.' 1t costs him but a light change
Of phrase to urn one OF Donne's love songs
into one OF his own kind. Yet In his most
ardent moment he keeps clear Of erotlcism,
Never does he, like Crashaw and the Catho-
ho mystics. mingle sexual passion with
divine. Filled though his verses are with
Biblical a~lfuSions, they contain hardly a
reference to solomon's song. He Is q man

tor comedies that for each lyrical situation
Herbert invents exactly the rhythmic
setting which befts Il. How rich his
invention is and how fexibly responsive
to the demands OF distinguishable moods
may be seen in this, that OF his 1859 poems
ll8 are written In metres which are not
repeated. Such variety OF practice strik-
ingly exhibits the scope Of the poets metric
power, and his delicate persistence In fitting
form to thought.
In calling attention, finally, to Herbert's
ability to shape a poem as a whole, Prof.
Palmer claims for him a high degree OF
originality. The early lyric poetry OF Eng.
land was moro remarkable for vividness
than for structure. The editor recalls
that In the two stanzas OF Ben Jonson's
song, aDrnk to Me Only With Thine Eyes,
neither Is necessary to the other. This
Is Justly pronounced the more remarkable
because into the drama Jonson carried
structure In much the same conscious way
that Herbert carried 1t into lyric poetry.
To suoh unified artioulated structure Her.
bart devoted himself, and what he accom-.
plished is here adjudged, one Of his two
principal contributions to English poetry.
Lastly, on to the obsourity OF Herbert's
style, we find it attributed partly to the
compact abundance Of his thought, partly
to the fact that in it we hear the Earring
oil moods only half harmonized, partly to
the fact that IL was moi studied with i'm.
mediate reference to the public eve and
partly to historic changes in DUR language
In his most intricate o%bsourity, however,
there Ia no c~arelessness or clumsiness, no
vaRueness or ~wilfulness- His artistic sense

justice, making disorder pass for the only
gayety Of life. OF old with the philosophers
there were sophists who made the worse
appear the better reason; they were
brothers to the prophets who ~prophesied

must judge trees by their fruit; never de-
luded by the entioing exterior Of the poi
sonous nightshade or the gaudy hues OF
the deadly toadstool. C~onvinoedly per-

In the sixteenth chapter Of the second

to show that the impulsively formed Broth
erhood was a tragic failure almost from
the beginning, and that the only four
brothers who were consistently Pre-Raphael-
ties, namely. Millais, Gabriel Rossett,
Woolner and Hunt himself, became the
victims Of the indiscretions Of such allies,
or ostensible allies, as Collinson, William
Rossetti and F. G. Stephens. In the same
chapter q great deal Of evidence 10 mar

did not begin with MADDOX Brown, nor with
Gabriel Rossetti, and that 1t was not anti
