Of the other two, the elder, Mary, is a nun in Manchester, the other, Margaret Richardson, wife and mother in Canada. To the late Monsignor Corbishly I am indebted for the following record of the place Francis held in the compositions set three times a year:— "In Latin he was first six times, second three times, and twice he was third. The lowest place was 6th, except when he composed in so-called Latin verse, when he got 23rd. His muse could not get going in a dead language. In Greek his place ran from 2nd to 10th. In French, average place about 8th. In English, 1st sixteen times; of his Arithmetic, Algebra, and Geometry the less said the better. He was a good, quiet, shy lad. Physically, a weakling: he had a halting way of walking, and gave the impression that physical existence would be rather a struggle for him. He did practically nothing at the games. Haec habeo quae dicam de nostro poeta praeclarissimo." At the same time the family noted other influences; it was a tradition of theirs that "On the 3rd Sunday of September, 1885, Fr. Richardson of St. Mary's, Ashton-under Lyne, delivered a sermon on 'Our Lady of Sorrows,' which, Francis hearing, was the subject of his meditation, and, two years later, of his poem 'The Passion of Mary.' It is thought that he did not make any notes on the sermon in church, but in the drawing-room at home in Stamford Street he made use that same night of pencil and paper." But the sea stands spread As one wall with the flat skies, Where the lean black craft, like flies, Seem well-nigh stagnated, Soon to drop off dead. DEGRADED POOR Lo, at the first, Lord, Satan took from Thee Wealth, Beauty, Honour, World's Felicity. Then didst Thou say: "Let be; For with his leavings and neglects will I Please Me, which he sets by,— Of all disvalued, thence which all will leave Me, And fair to none but Me, will not deceive Me." My simple Lord! so deeming erringly, Thou tookest Poverty; Who, beautified with Thy Kiss, laved in Thy streams, 'Gan then to cast forth gleams, That all men did admire Her modest looks, her ragged sweet attire In which the ribboned shoe could not compete With her clear simple feet. But Satan, envying Thee Thy one ewe-lamb, With Wealth, World's Beauty and Felicity Was not content, till last unthought-of she Was his to damn. Thine ingrate ignorant lamb He won from Thee; kissed, spurned, and made of her This thing which qualms the air— Vile, terrible, old, Whereat the red blood of the Day runs cold. "My dear Mr. Meynell,—Francis Thompson's father has agreed to give me a small sum weekly (3s. 6d.) for his son. I have consented to forward it, and will do so monthly, adding a little myself. I now enclose a cheque for 24s. It is not much, but it will help.—Ever yours sincerely, J. Carroll." "The Franciscan article is decidedly good. But I am getting a little sick of this talk of 'individualism,' which only darkens counsel. The writer seems to mean by it not at all what it means to me—and, I think, to the Cardinal. What he calls regulated individualism many people would call Socialism. In fact, some Socialists claim the Franciscans as a Catholic and religious experiment in the direction of Socialism. It seems to me that you can juggle with words like 'individualism' to suit your own whims." 'My long sickness Of wealth and living now begins to mend, And nothing brings me all things.' Both that passage and yours are poignant; both are deeply sad; while yours has an added searchingness which makes it (in De Quincey's phrase) veritably 'heart-shattering'; but how can you call 'gloomy' what so nobly and resignedly faces the terror it evokes?"
"Of your charity pray for the soul of Charles Thompson, M.R.C.S., L.S.A., who departed this life April 9th, 1896, aged 72, fortified by the rites of Holy Church"—with the motto "The silent and wise man shall be honoured." Let crosses so take what hid Christ in thee; And be His image, or not His, but He.
NAPOLEON JUDGES A Tragedy in Two Scenes Dramatis PersonÆ. Napoleon. General Augereau. Madame Lebrun (an opera-dancer, Augereau's Mistress). President of the Court Martial. A French Deserter. Officers. Soldiers. Place.—Augereau's Camp. Time.—The Italian Campaign of 1796. During the first scene Napoleon is absent from Augereau's Camp. Of another class is a modern comedy, full of laboriously smart give and take, called "Man Proposes, but Woman Disposes. Un Conte sans Raconteur. In Two Scenes." Transcriber's Notes: Obvious punctuation errors were corrected. Varied hyphenation was retained. Page 48, "fastastic" changed to "fantastic" (of the fantastic imagery) Page 201-203, the final line on page 201 ends well before the edge of the right margin. The next line on page 202 has no indentation. A paragraph break was assumed and inserted at the line beginning (He came, even to the point) Page 211, originally, footnote 48, a word in the original was missing its first two letters. "stness" was retained as no certain word could be inferred from the text. Page 213, "QuÆ coeli" changed to "Quae cÆli" (Quae cÆli pandis ostium!) Page 236, "expresssed" changed to "expressed" (expressed in the obituary) Page 328, "count" was left as printed for it was a quotation from a letter and may well have been used as printed in the original letter. (if character count for) Page 354, "Portra it" changed to "Portrait" (Canon Law in Her Portrait) Page 357, "M'Master" changed to "McMaster" to match usage in text (McMaster, Mr., 70-76) Page 358, "Ranjitsinjhi" changed to "Ranjitsinhji" (Ranjitsinhji, Prince, 42) ******* This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will be renamed. 1.F. 1.F.3.
