ARNOLD, Study of Celtic Literature, 1867. [Let] me ... Have the pleasure of ... Giving, before I begin to try and define the grand style, a specimen of The grand what it is. Standing on earth, not rapt alx>ve the pole, More safe I sing with mortal voice, unchanged To hoarse or mute, though fall'n on evil days, On evil days though fall'n, and evil tongues. . . . There is the grand style in perfection ; and any one who has a sense for it, will feel it a thousand times better from repeating those ...lines than from hearing anything I can say about it. Let us try, however, what can be said, controlling what we say by examples. I think it will be found that the grand style arises in poetry, when a noble nature, poetically gifted, treats with simplicity or with severity a serious subject. I think this definition will be found to cover all instances of the grand style in poetry which present themselves. I think it will be found to exclude all poetry which is not in the grand style. And I think it contains no terms which are obscure, which themselves need defining.
