Charlotte Mew Charlotte Mew "a cameo cut in steel" Charlotte Mary Mew, esteemed by Siegfried Sassoon, and Ezra Pound was born in London on November 15, 1869.. . .
Penelope Fitzgerald's laudable biography Charlotte Mew and Her Friends attempted to revive a substantial interest in her.
. . .
Haunted by unrequited passion and tormented by fears of madness she, nevertheless, produced poems of unique beauty and passion.
. . .
Virginia Woolf called her the greatest living poetess, and Marianne Moore, a quarter of a century after her death, considered her work 'above praise.' Thomas Hardy accorded her extraordinary praise, and others believed she approached poetic genius.

Isle of Lesbos: Poetry of Charlotte Mew
Monsieur Qui Passe A purple blot against the dead white door In my friend's rooms, bathed in their vile pink light, I had not noticed her before She snatched my eyes and threw them back to me: She did not speak till we came out into the night, Paused at this bench beside the klosk on the quay.. . .
Ella D'Arcy was a fellow writer and an editorial assisant at The Yellow Book.

. . .
Particularly notable from a lesbian standpoint is that Charlotte's love poems do not close with fulfillment or joy; instead, they are bleak and without hope.
. . .
While she did not write poetry with overt lesbian themes, preferring to keep the speaker ambigious or male, she clearly loved and preferred women.
. . .
Whether or not this incident actually happened, May seemed to have no second thoughts about sharing the tale.

Charlotte Mew: On the Road to the Sea – and four other poems ...
During her life she had used her manuscripts in order to light her cigarettes, but fortunately for us, her publications and some of her unpublished work survived her.. . .
Shy as a leveret, swift as he, Straight and slight as a young larch tree, Sweet as the first wild violets, she, To her wild self.
. . .
It left no mark upon the snow, But suddenly it snapped the chain Unbarred, flung wide the door Which will not shut again; And so we cannnot sit here any more.
. . .
Here is a Greek translation of ‘On the Road to the Sea’ by Olvia Papaeliou from April 2000, which serves to show that Mew is still sufficiently beloved in other lands to rate the dedicated trouble of translating her poems.
. . .
Then again, it is possible that Mew may have wished there was someone to speak these words to her – and that the “I” in this poem is someone else – and she herself the unsmiling one.
. . .
The road, the road, beyond men’s bolted doors, There shall I walk and you go free of me, For yours lies North across the moors, And mine lies South.

PamReplyDeleteRogerApr 21, 2010 09:41 PMParris's novel, "His Arms Are Full of Broken Things" isn't very good, I'm afraid.I think Penelope FitzGerald's fine biography of Mew is still in print and there was an excellent review in the NYRB when it appeared in the USA which should have made people curious.

PamReplyDeleteRogerApr 23, 2010 12:59 PMWell, Pamels, if Peggy Parris and P.B.Parris are the same person- and it seems likely- she wrote a biographical novel about Mew called "His Arms Are Full of Broken Things".

He frightened me before he smiled-- He did not ask me if he might-- He said that he would come one Sunday night, He spoke to me as if I were a child.. . .
I remember thinking: alive or dead, a rat was a god-forsaken thing, But at least, in May, that even a rat should be alive.
. . .
To-night I heard a bell again-- Outside it was the same mist of fine rain, The lamps just lighted down the long, dim street, No one for me-- I think it is myself I go there to meet: I do not care; some day I shall not think; I shall not be!
. . .
It is not for a moment the Spring is unmade to-day; These were great trees, it was in them from root to stem: When the men with the 'Whoops' and the 'Whoas' have carted the whole of the whispering loveliness away Half the Spring, for me, will have gone with them.
. . .
Then put your far off little hand in mine;-- Oh! let it rest; I will not stare into the early world beyond the opening eyes, Or vex or scare what I love best.

AQA - Anthology Zone - Charlotte Mew
However, by the time Mew was writing, attitudes to marriage and social structures were undergoing great change.. . .
Perhaps the sad incidents in her life gave her insights that we can see in The Farmers Bride.
. . .
This is reflected in The Farmers Bride, in which theres a sense of a big co-operative community.
. . .
In 1928, perhaps because she feared she was going to go mad like her brother and sister, she committed suicide by drinking disinfectant.
. . .
The Farmers Bride The rural society depicted in The Farmers Bride is a traditional one, perhaps more reminiscent of the nineteenth century than of 1916, when the poem was published.
. . .
Her first collection of poetry, The Farmer's Bride, was published in 1916, in the USA, and her work was noticed and admired by many other writers of the time.

Charlotte Mew - Poems - Telenet Service
It makes our room too small: it is like a stair, A calling stair that climbs up to a smile you scarcely see, Dim, but so waited for; and you know what a smile is, how it calls, How if I smiled you always ran to me.. . .
So great that you have simply got to stand Looking at it through tears, through tears Then straight from these there broke the kiss, I think You must have known by this The thing, for what it was, that had come to You: She did not love You like the rest.

The Farmer's Bride Three summers since I chose a maid, Too young maybe-but more's to do At harvest-time that a bide and woo.

The Sunlit House White, through the gate it gleamed and slept In shattered sunshine.
. . .
This cannot stay, Not now, not yet, not in a dying world, with me, for very long; I leave it here: And one day the wet grass may give it back - One day the quiet earth may give it back - The calling birds may give it back as they go by - To someone walking on the moor who starves for love and will not know Who gave it to all these to give away; Or, if I come and ask for it again Oh! then, to me.
. . .
Still I will let you keep your life a little while, See dear?

Aftermath Poetry: The Cenotaph (September 1919) by Charlotte Mew
In splendid sleep, with a thousand brothers To loversto mothers Here, too, lies he: Under the purple, the green, the red, It is all young life: it must break some women's hearts to see Such a brave, gay coverlet to such a bed!. . .
But here, where the watchers by lonely hearths from the thrust of an inward sword have more slowly bled, We shall build the Cenotaph: Victory, winged, with Peace, winged too, at the columns head.
. . .
And over the stairway, at the footoh! here, leave desolate, passionate hands to spread Violets, roses, and laurel, with the small, sweet, tinkling country things Speaking so wistfully of other Springs, From the little gardens of little places where son or sweetheart was born and bred.

By May 1915, 'Love' and 'Grief' have become synonymous, expanding as the lines expand, and blinding the bereaved even to the divinely ordained Spring and its supposed healing qualities.
. . .
That is followed by more special pleading (or wishful thinking) in the word 'Surely': the switch from the confidence of the thrice-repeated 'Sure' to 'Surely' betrays scepticism more than faith.

Hers is a narrow achievement---only one book appeared during her lifetime---but at her best she bears comparison with any of her contemporaries.

'And even as to these': the awkwardness of the phrase is an acknowledgement that the simile remains problematic.
