AGNES EDMUND GOSSE HAT WE KNOW OF THE HIS- TORY OF RE AT'S EN* CHANTING ROMANCE, "the eve of ST. AGNES" COMES TO us almost entirely from a sort of running* journal wliich he sent to his brother &* sister-in-law in America. From this source v/e S^1n1*ASfei learn that he spent sometime at Qiichester after ihe death of Tom Keats in December 1818. He pro-' bably went down to the friends m Chichester before Christmas, for hewasbacl^at^Wfentworth Place, Hampstead, in fhe last weeKpfJan- uary 1810. He writes to iMr. and Mt5.(S^^ (Feb. li 1 8I9) 'IMothing- worth speaking of hap- pened at(Chichester) I tool^down some offhe ftiin paper &> wrote on it a little poem, called 'ot Agnes Eve' whichyou will have as it is wheni have finisned fiieblanl^part of flie rest fbryou .'' In his next packet he sends the_^ copied draf? So Aerica. These re-^ marl^ Lord Houghton had doubtless overlool^d when he said that ''The Eve of St. A?nes was begrun on a visit to Hampshire^ fbrl^ats does not seem to have gonetoWir^ Chester, in tfie latler County, until Aug-ust I8I9. It would doubtless be safe, however, in accordance witft aletfer to Bailey, to say tfiat the poem was ffni shed at Winches- ter. In September, Pleats \yTites:«- ~ lamnoweng-aged in revising- St. A?nesEve and studying ItalianV by November he already takes the finished poem as ajype oC one class ofnis productions &^ writes to Taylor, '1 wish to di A> fuse {he colouring of St Agnes Eve throughout a poem in whicKi> character and sentiment would be the figures to such drapery " Cbc nl-Vife HE original MS. oftfie poem,onitfie "tRm paper "which KsCats took down wnfi himio Chiches- ^ ter, 15 now in the jplendid library of Mr. Godfrey Dcl^er-v^Lampson at Rowfant.

From his windfows at CKi'^ J Chester he might see the fTockj, ^^ Silent in winter fold^ his lonely walk5 might disturb tne hare and send ner "limping tftro* tfie {rozen:> grass. It is, at all events, to be pointed out tftat tfie poet was perfectly correct in connecting: these images ormidwinter witR his festival, and tftat some ofhis commentators, who have stated tRat Halloween is tRe.^ Eve ofSt Agnes, are quite incorrect. Hallowmass or Allhallowstide is, on tRe contrary, held lateintfic-^ autumn, and All HallowsEve is tRe 31st ofOctober. Where K^ats found his attribution to St.Agrnes of tfie power ofsummoning' uptfie imag^e oFtrue love, I am not aware. That power is universally allowed totRe^ Saints in congress on tfieVig-iloftfieir day ofunited mass,S^tftat in many coun- tries. Butwhat authority had l^ats :^r attributing: it particularjy toStAgn^? I do not I^now, but I conjecture tHat it was based upon a mistal^ in one ortfte bool^ he was reading: [N a worljyon antiqui- ties which was pop- ular ml^ats's day, Ben Jonson is quoted as describing: tfte powers ofSt Agrnes to reveal to tRe enamoured tneir i5?i>«'» future husbands or wives. For any such passag-e I have searched t^e works ofBenJon5oninvam,but in his mascjue of "The Salyr '* we may iTnd tnese Knes:- TOTmmf (7aup/;rers f/^rcAa/i e/^/:f^(/ream (//scoi/eKf. In default ofany reference to St. Agnes, we may take (l tRmk) tftis aL ai«^ lusion to a very dinerent personage, St Arnie, as probabjy having: started Keats on his adorable iraagrinative adventure. Whether Anne or Agrnes, vig'il or mass, t£e source really matters nothing* to us : what is essen^ tial istRe incomparable result. jfnprcfacc The exact reference is evidentjy not to be traced by mortal man,for even t^e excellent LeigrhHunt, whose enthusiastic commentary ortfte poem in the 'Lond[on-:> Journal 'of l83^ was tRe ear^ Iiest claim put forward for the^ highest honours for 'The Eve of Saint Aj^nesr-* /alls into a hopeless muddle about tfte date orthe festival . There are some disturbing elements orcommon fact which wither up tfte delicacy of a vision by tneir ifosty impact . It is doubt- less best for us not to try to know^ too brutally what was only dimlydivined even by Madeline and rorphyro. i^1n1%^s tgeleg'endof St. Agnes, upon which we need not further dwell, ifiere is onlv one slight feature wnich mig-ht (or might not) have lil^d to use had he happened to be aware of it. That exquisite cup orcold green in a white shrine , the snow- flal^e, is dedicated totRis saint, whose innocency,-^ for her symbol is the new-born Iamb,~ and her pur hy; as exemplified in this coyest ana coolest ofall flowers, are needed to permit her witft decorum to undertake tSis sen- sitive oflTce of^present jfrpFofacc ing- m Ifie hollow ofih ni^ht tRe mirrored forms of lovers to those who long- for tfiem. [ERTAIN points witSreg-ard to tfie form of ' The EveorSt.Agrnes* arewortfiy of at^ tention. The tech- nical characteristics of it show to a remarkable de*^ gree the result ot Keats s close sfiidy'ortfie Elizabethan poets. The stanza he employs is tfie Spenserian, a metre of which ne made no use else- where, except in tfie unwor% CttC 4t)« of-^ fi^agment or'TheCap and Bells. IntRe poem before us,tfie stanza is conducted witft a voluptuous richness not excelled by Thomson, Shelly or Tennyson, or even by 5penser himself^ The ppem is oneortfiose short narratives in formal rhymed verse which it is convenient to call 'romances^ In adopting: ior IsabellaS^' The Eve ofSt. Agrnes' tfiis firm, it is not to be doubted tfiat K^ats was in- tentionally restoring to Engrlish poetry what had been a signal adornment oFit int^e late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. He was competing witfi those.^ classical narratives in elaborate stanzaic form orwhich tfte 'Venus andAdonis'orShaKpspeare was tfte most popular and tHe 'Scillas Metainorphsis' of Lodge tKe ear- liest&r typical specimen. The great dlf?icul^ in these tales,~ which were so little removed except by tfie length from the lyric '^ was to preserve tfie spontaneity oARe emotion and at tfte same time, tfie vitality oFtfie narrativep^inotfier words to be rapturously imagin- ative, and jet (let us not /ear tfie word] continuously amusing. It: must be said that in tfte^p slyll wjtfi which he overcomes tfiis difSculty Keats has no rival, except himselrl To discover a ro*^ mance in which vision fir evolution are held so admirably in tfie^ balance tfirougliout as in tfte Eve of St. Agnes, we must turn to ^i&nVU^s anotfier worl^ orgeats himselfy^ to 'Isabella, or the Pot ofBasir. HE whole tissue and colouring- ofSt Agrnes Eve betray tRe hec- tic conditions ia.^ which tBe grreat and wonder/iil poet was worKing*. He said himseli;''! am scarcely content to write tfie ^ best verses , from t^e fever they leave behind. I want to compose without tRis fever. I hope I shall one day)' he added, but t^at day was never to dawn. There is perhaps no otRer masterpiece in Engrlish literature in which an equal phy^^ sical ecstasy is apparent. Li^? his own Porphyro, the poet is jfn^rcfacc fiint with a species oF agony, as one who enjoys to t6e very edg^ofsel^conlrol a perfumL or a flavor, a rapture ormelody or a splendour or vision. Avery little more and t^e deIig"ht-o would degenerate into delirium, but tKis step is not taken, the artist continues master V him^ self. In just an epithet here or an imagre tRere t6e danger is sug- gested, only to be majestically avoided. Hut further tfian t^is, in the f ransport offfie nerves, sane art can hardly go. The rapture ofthis poem is proper to a lyric; it is almost without precedents tfiat ii should be supported,with-^ outabrea^ throughout so long a romance. It is, however, sup*^ ssini-Vtr* ported, and with such abreat^-v, less ravisKness of all iRe senses, that in certain stanzas it almost passes, beyond ecstasy^, into positive trance. HIS poem or The Eve ofSt.Ag-nes' is as ffne an exam-^ pie as literature Dre-' sents to us oftne value and power orsheer imaginative vision. When tfie Carlyles mocl^ ingly alleg-ed tftat tfte central episode was notfiingr but '^ a dream in a store -^ room',' tS/Irs- Browningr indigrn an tly replied tfiat' no dream could ever be made a worl^orart,'' unless dreamed by some "^amynoius in/ansl' l^H^ jfrl^rcfacc Keats himself^ To tfie sneer tfiat tSe poem is all concerned witfi the senses, every one who kjiows what poetry is will reply. Yes, but tfie senses idealized, nere is poetry pure 5^ simple, witfi no admixture ofhon'^poetic or even sub- poetic elements. Here is tSe imag'ination in its (quintes- sence. Nor, while Engrlish lit- erature survives, is it likely tfiat a poem Will be written more peren- nially or deservedly attractive to tfieyoutftful, tfie ardent, andtfte unsophisticated.
