To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The severe simplicity, the clear-eyed stoicism give place to cryptic involve- ments and a tangled spirituality. The note of 104 THE PASSAGE OF THE CENTURIES morbid spiritual wistfulness makes the poems of Green Arras (1896), Rue (1899), and Spikenard (1898) almost unreadable save to the mind rightly attuned. The atmosphere of these poems is that of Mediaeval Catholicism, with its renunciation of the passions and its desire for virgin purity. Spikenard is a series of mystical rhapsodies follow- ...ing the cycle of the ecclesiastical year : Rue is the simplest and most intelligible of these volumes. Of the technical beauty of the verse there can be no question, though Mr Laurence Housman does not rival his brother in mastery of the simplest forms. In Mendicant Rhymes (1906) we escape to a healthier and more human atmosphere, emerging from the ecstasies of the hermit's cell and the meditations of the cloister to the open-air, the inn, and the battlefield. And even when he reverts, in occasional poems, to doctrinal mysticism it is with a new power.
