A propos de cet article

Blue cloth with gilt lettering. Bump and light rubbing to head and heel of spine. Stamps to front pastedown and first endpaer that say "Received in Bad Condition, San Francisco, California" but I can't see any damage to warrant the stamp. Title page is darkened as though there had been a piece of paper inserted there. Text is clean and bright, no marks, lightly and evenly tanned. "Francis Thompson was actually a great romantic poet. Although his faith demanded that he forsake the physical world and search for spiritual values, his strongest emotions sprang from the very flesh which he must renounce. He was sensuous, passionately emotional, acutely sensitive to every sound, taste and color in the world about him. His Imagery is as rich as Keats's, though sometimes lacking in the restraint which Keats finally learned, and his sense of light, of the disembodiment of all natural objects is not unlike Shelley's. He even tried the rhythms of Swinburne. He was not a thinker, but a man of such keen sensibilities, such vehement feelings, that he must arrive at any ultimate rather through his reactions to the physical world than through any intellectual conviction. This was the struggle that went on within him: he was a devout Catholic, and he was a romantic poet. His mysticism springs from the resultant struggle. n order to see God he must see every light and shade of the physical universe and must penetrate through these to the security of deity. The famous "Hound of Heaven" is a record of just how, step by step, this penetration takes place. "The Dread of the Height," perhaps his most characteristic poem, is the acknowledgement of Thompson's awareness that once the height, or unity, was touched, the poet must fall to the depth of despondency in the immediate loss of that height. God, for this poet, could be known only in the highest, the most intense moments. For the rest there was the abundant beauty of nature, the exquisiteness of childhood, the desire for human love. None of these were satisfying and yet they caught his heart." (NYT book review, July 3, 1932).…
