my last duchess That's my last duchess painted on the wall, Looking as if she were alive. I call That piece a wonder, now: Frà Pandolf's hands Worked busily a day, and there she stands. Will't please you sit and look at her? I said "Frà Pandolf" by design, for never read Strangers like you that pictured countenance, The depth and passion of its earnest glance, But to myself they turned (since none puts by The curtain I have drawn for you, but I) And seemed as they would ask me, if they durst, How such a glance came there; so, not the first Are you to turn and ask thus. Sir, 'twas not Her husband's presence only, called that spot Of joy into the Duchess' cheek: perhaps Frà Pandolf chanced to say "Her mantle laps "Over my lady's wrist too much," or "Paint "Must never hope to reproduce the faint "Half-flush that dies along her throat": such stuff Was courtesy, she thought, and cause enough For calling up that spot of joy. She had A heart how shall I say? too soon made glad, Too easily impressed; she liked whate'er She looked on, and her looks went everywhere. Sir, 'twas all one! My favor at her breast, The dropping of the daylight in the West, The bough of cherries some officious fool Broke in the orchard for her, the white mule She rode with round the terrace all and each Would draw from her alike the approving speech, Or blush, at least. She thanked men good! but thanked Somehow I know not how as if she ranked My gift of a nine-hundred-years-old name With anybody's gift. Who'd stoop to blame This sort of trifling? Even had you skill In speech which I have not to make your will Quite clear to such an one, and say, "Just this "Or that in you disgusts me; here you miss, "Or there exceed the mark" and if she let Herself be lessoned so, nor plainly set Her wits to yours, forsooth, and make excuse, E'en then would be some stooping; and I choose Never to stoop. Oh sir, she smiled, no doubt, Whene'er I passed her; but who passed without Much the same smile? This grew; I gave commands; Then all smiles stopped together. There she stands As if alive. Will't please you rise? We'll meet The company below, then. I repeat, The Count your master's known munificence Is ample warrant that no just pretense Of mine for dowry will be disallowed; Though his fair daughter's self, as I avowed At starting, is my object. Nay we'll go Together down, sir. Notice Neptune, though, Taming a sea-horse, thought a rarity, Which Claus of Innsbruck cast in bronze for me! Ø The poem is about a duke called Alfonso II of the house of East. This is a story that Browning read in one of the old books of Italy about a duke who married a young wife and this wife displeases him and then she disappears. During that period of time in the 15th century if a wife displeases her husband or accused of adultery, he has the right to send her to a convent or monastery to spend all her life there like imprisonment. Ø In the poem we have a duke who speaks to another person who is the envoy or the representative of a count who is lesser in rank than the duke. He was sent to the duke to arrange a marriage that the girl has to pay a dowry to the husband. The duke is receiving the representative of the count to arrange the marriage affair. They discuss the dowry and estate and so on. The duke also tells the representative what does he wishes in his wife. He asks him alone to go upstairs with him then the duke reveals the curtains from the portrait of the last duchess. Ø In the portrait, there is a beautiful lady with living feature and blush on her cheeks. The duke asks the envoy to sit down and he starts to speak. Through out the speech we understand a lot about his character as well as his wife’s character. He talks about his wife and how she displeased him by her childish behavior. She was young, immature or how to treat him. He was not satisfied with her so he gave commands to execute her by sending her to a convent. He ordered her death and now he is planning for another marriage. In order to arrange for another marriage, he called for the representative showing him the picture of his executed wife and discussing the marriage. Ø It a shocking revelation of the great, aristocratic, well educated, very attractive and rich when we hear his confession of murder. Then it is shocking again for the reader when he arranges for another marriage. That's my last duchess painted on the wall, Looking as if she were alive. I call That piece a wonder, now: Frà Pandolf's hands Worked busily a day, and there she stands. Ø In the first lines the speaker shows the work of art to the envoy. The painting looks as if it is a living thing which means that it is a very good work of art. The duke reduces that woman in the painting into something. She is a thing for him and only a piece of art. He is not talking about the woman who was his wife but about the work of art. He himself judges the work of art. That means that he is also an artist as he has a good taste in art. He is himself can judge a work of art. He is only interested in the work of art not the woman. Ø The painter who created this art was called Fra Pandolf was known at that time. There is a mocking tone when the duke shows how the painter worked hard to finish the painting. This hurry was because he wanted to command her end. He ordered a great painter to paint her so he can imprison the life in a work of art. The duke invites the envoy to sit to hear more revelation. He also invites us as readers to sit and look at the work of art. Will't please you sit and look at her? I said "Frà Pandolf" by design, for never read Strangers like you that pictured countenance, The depth and passion of its earnest glance But to myself they turned (since none puts by The curtain I have drawn for you, but I) Ø The representative is only a listener and obeys. He repeats the name of the painter to confirm that this is a great artist who created this work of art. The duke is the only one allowed to draw the curtains. The portrait is covered which shows that there is something suspicious and he is an authoritative person. He is so possessive not allowing any one to see it even the servants. And seemed as they would ask me, if they durst, How such a glance came there; so, not the first Are you to turn and ask thus. Sir, 'twas not Ø Strangers were never allowed to see this portrait. Countenance is the facial feature. There is life and depth of passion; this shows that he was very jealous. The picture is alive. The envoy did not ask or dare to ask about the picture but the duke sees the questions in his eyes about the portrait. The duke tells him that he does not dare to ask but the duke will tell him by himself. |

Dover Beach Mathew Arnold Mathew Arnold is the third major Victorian poet in this period. He is a well educated scholar. He was born in 1822 and died in 1888. He is a major poet and critic and his influence continued to the following century. Mathew Arnold is the son of Dr. Thomas Arnold the Head master of the Rugby School. He attended college. He enjoyed the life of being a dandy who is well concerned about his appearance, behavior and manners. He was a very intelligent young man, but he enjoyed this kind of a different life that reflected the real person of him. He was interested more in his appearance but he was a very intelligent young man. Ø After his graduation, he worked as an inspector of schools allover England. He used to travel to different parts of England inspecting schools, following and detecting the curriculum in them and trying to adjust them. During this period of time, he wrote most of his poems. He was interested in reflecting nature. The Victorian period is a period which is marked by rapid change, development, controversial and diversity. Ø He was the best poet to represent his age by talking about the theme of faith, doubt and ennui (boredom). In his works, he tried to reflect his age by writing several collections. In these collections of poems, he tried to reflect the characteristics of this time. He was a deep thinker and was very philosophical at the same time. He was not only interested in writing poetry, but also in critical thinking and criticism. He started to develop the ability to be a critic towards the end of his life. He wrote many critical treaties or pamphlets. One of his major works was Culture and Anarchy. This is a very significant work in criticism. In his critical thinking, he tried to show the significance of poetry as something could be a substitute for faith. Ø Loss of faith was a very important issue that occurred during the Victorian age. People had shaken faith as a result of scientific inventions, astrology discoveries and philosophical thinking. People tend to search for another substitute or a replacement for their faith. Mathew Arnold found that poetry could be like a new religion. He is a religious man, but because of the shaken belief, he felt that poetry could be a substitute for religion. For him, poetry is very significant. Ø One of his treaties was “The disease of most of modern scientists is depression…”. Another one is “Arnold’s poetry and his poetics form …marks his inner division…not to facilitate…that maybe”. Of course that may have led him to a sense of losing his own faith because of the conflict that happened inside him. When he explicate religion according to him, he says: “It has lighted up morality that it has ..emotion and …for carrying the ordinary man along it ..”. Ø We are introduced to a poet who has a critical mind, who has faced himself in a kind of a conflict. The conflict was between his faith towards the traditional Christian faith and to the new changing world. This is what is reflected in the poem. He faces this dilemma of being in this struggle between his own faith and the changing world where he lives in of suspicion, skepticism and all what surround him and how he find a solution for that conflict. He must make a compromise between the two choices or a kind of a balance. Ø Towards the end of his life, Arnold stopped writing poetry and he concentrated more on criticism. He became a very well established critic. His poems were few in comparison to the other poets. That is because towards 1860 he started to concentrate on criticism. Ø Dover Beach is one of the significant poems that reflect the Victorian mind. It is a presentation of all the thinking minds in the Victorian period that of the people who faced this dilemma of conflict between the faith and the life during that age. The poem is a dramatic monologue. It is rich with expression and elaborate in its tone. It reflects the Victorian mind of that period. Dover Beach 1The sea is calm to-night. 2The tide is full, the moon lies fair 3Upon the straits;--on the French coast the light 4Gleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand, 5Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay. 6Come to the window, sweet is the night-air! 7Only, from the long line of spray 8Where the sea meets the moon-blanch'd land, 9Listen! you hear the grating roar 10Of pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling, 11At their return, up the high strand, 12Begin, and cease, and then again begin, 13With tremulous cadence slow, and bring 14The eternal note of sadness in. 15Sophocles long ago 16Heard it on the Ægean, and it brought 17Into his mind the turbid ebb and flow 18Of human misery; we 19Find also in the sound a thought, 20Hearing it by this distant northern sea. 21The Sea of Faith 22Was once, too, at the full, and round earth's shore 23Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furl'd. 24But now I only hear 25Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar, 26Retreating, to the breath 27Of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear 28And naked shingles of the world. 29Ah, love, let us be true 30To one another! for the world, which seems 31To lie before us like a land of dreams, 32So various, so beautiful, so new, 33Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light, 34Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain; 35And we are here as on a darkling plain 36Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight, 37Where ignorant armies clash by night. Ø Dover is in the southern part of England. ‘strait’ means the narrow passage that make water pass between two different lands. The speaker is the poet himself. The speaker here is melancholic in his tone. This is shown when he talks about the calmness of the sea. Ø He says “come and listen” so there is some one else. This is a dramatic monologue where we have a speaker who is speaking and there is an audience but the audiences are not responding. He only addresses them “come and listen”. Ø He talks about the sea of faith. He talks about a critical point. Faith starts to lose its power. It is shaken. The relation between faith and sea is that the sea comes and go, strong and powerful then they retreating back. When the sea is not strong, the waves become slowly and barely come to the beach, and then they retreat. Ø The mode of the poem is melancholic. In the beginning of the poem, we feel calmness and stability, and then there is the movement of the sea. The speaker here alludes to Sophocles the great Greek tragedian. 15Sophocles long ago 16Heard it on the Ægean, and it brought 17Into his mind the turbid ebb and flow 18Of human misery; we Ø The speaker here is in the modern period of Victorian time watching the sea, contemplating. He alludes to Sophocles and Aegean sea. Sophocles talked about the human misery. The human misery is in the past, present and going to be in the future. Sophocles talked about sadness of humanity. Then Mathew moved into the sea of faith. 21The Sea of Faith 22Was once, too, at the full, and round earth's shore 23Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furl'd. 24But now I only hear 25Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar, 26Retreating, to the breath 27Of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear 28And naked shingles of the world. Ø Analysis During the Victorian period according all the historic data, faith started to lose its stability and power. During the 16th and 17th century the church dominated the whole kingdom, but now faith is shaken. It is like the sea that is coming and retreating back. At the end he concludes by a resolution that is faith is lost and shaken, how can man survive without faith. He says that honesty and faithfulness could substitute the loss of faith. 1The sea is calm to-night. 2The tide is full, the moon lies fair 3Upon the straits;--on the French coast the light 4Gleams and is gone; the cliffs of England stand, 5Glimmering and vast, out in the tranquil bay. Ø Dover beach is located to the southern of England. It is the closest point to face the French coast. The speaker starts in a meditative tone. He meditates deeply about the calm sea. There is serenity and quietness as the waves are not very rough. This mode of calmness encourages one to meditate, speculate and think deeply about life. It is a romantic atmosphere, but at the same time, it helps one to think deeply in a philosophical mood. Ø The tide is full means that the waves come from the mid of the sea until they reach the shore. The waves usually are originated from the bottom of the sea. Then they reach until they reach the shore. The sea is calm and the moon is bright. The sea is stable which means that nature is stable and calm. Ø The speaker wishes to have such calmness and serenity in himself. He is in conflict suffering from something. He could see the French coast. On it he could see the lights gleam then go. Those lights are moving as if they disturb the quietness of this serene nature. Ø Dover is a mountain area that means it is higher than the French coast. The cliffs of England stand that shows the sense of pride. They are shining because of the light of the moon falling on the sea and the mountains. The mountains contain minerals and rocks could be shining. The French coast disturbs the serene picture of the Dover beach. Ø In those first five lines, the speaker meditates upon the peaceful tranquil, peaceful nature. This shows that he wishes to have the same peaceful nature. 6Come to the window, sweet is the night-air! 7Only, from the long line of spray 8Where the sea meets the moon-blanch'd land, 9Listen! you hear the grating roar 10Of pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling, Ø The speaker invites someone else. Arnold after he married his wife, he went to Dover to spend the honey moon with his wife. He invites the companion or his beloved to come. First, he talks about the beautiful nature then he invites another human being. It is like an intrusion. The invitation of the beloved or friend is to share the beauty of nature. It is a very tender appeal from the speaker to his companion. 7Only, from the long line of spray 8Where the sea meets the moon-blanch'd land, Ø Those two lines are very romantic. It is like the meeting of lovers. The light of the moon meets the sea. The light meets the surface of the sea. The light on the surface is like a spray or sprinkles of silver or white colour on the sea. 9Listen! you hear the grating roar 10Of pebbles which the waves draw back, and fling, 11At their return, up the high strand, 12Begin, and cease, and then again begin, 13With tremulous cadence slow, and bring 14The eternal note of sadness in. Ø The speaker then addresses his companion again to listen. First, he invited his companion to come and enjoy the fresh air. Then he invites her to hear the loud voice of the sea. Pebbles are the small and tiny stones. When the waves come and reach the shore, they carry those tiny stones with them. When they go forward, they throw the stones upon the shore and this creates the sound of waves. Metaphorically, those small stones make that roar. It is exaggeration. The waves take those pebbles and then through them again. To ‘fling’ is to throw with force. It is a continuous cycle as the waves draw the stones back and then when they return, they return them. Ø This cycle of movement is something continuous. It reminds the speaker of sadness. The poet here renders this noise and movement to something wonderful, rich, beautiful and full of meanings. This sadness comes out of the clash between faith and science. Ø There is always a clash between the waves and the land. When waves are very energetic and strong, they hit the land and take the peddles then they bring them back. It is like a mutual relationship. They are connected together and cannot be separated. The waves, here with their continuous movement, represent the sense of confusion. The sea is powerful and the land is also solid and powerful. 15Sophocles long ago 16Heard it on the Ægean, and it brought 17Into his mind the turbid ebb and flow 18Of human misery; we 19Find also in the sound a thought, 20Hearing it by this distant northern sea. Ø In this stanza, the speaker here has changed the meditation about the sea and its sound into referring to something back in the history talking about Sophocles the great Greek tragedian. Sophocles heard the sound of waves and it reminded him also of human misery. This sound extends from ages and it is opt to continue for the future. It is immortal in a way. Sophocles heard it a long ago in the Aegean sea. ‘Turbid’ means confuse. Ø There is a change of scenery. First we were in England in the northern part of Europe and then the speaker moves to the southern part of Europe. It is not only a transition in location but also in time, but it was smooth not abrupt. Sophocles heard this sound and it reminded him of the ebbs and flows of the human nature. All his tragedies were about the human sadness. There is a movement from the peaceful and tranquil nature that reminded the speaker of the eternal note of sadness to the human history to a figure who also talked about the human the sadness of humanism. Ø Then the speaker uses the present simple again after using the past. The pronoun ‘we’ shows that it is not only Sophocles who found in this sound a representation of human misery but also modern people in the north and Sophocles is in the south, but they still share the same sadness as they are all human beings. So they share this eternal note of sadness. Ø This stanza is like an interlude. There is a change in the scenery. In the Aegean sea, we have a scene of past human misery. We feel that the past, the present as well as the future all share the same human misery. 21The Sea of Faith 22Was once, too, at the full, and round earth's shore 23Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furl'd. 24But now I only hear 25Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar, 26Retreating, to the breath 27Of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear 28And naked shingles of the world. Ø This is the climatic stanza in the poem. “sea of faith” is symbolic here. The sea is symbolized by faith. It is sometimes strong and sometimes retreats. It is like faith in human beings. It is changing according to people according to their belief and acceptance. When he talks about the sea of faith, he says that the sea was strong in the past by dominating man’s life. Reflecting the Victorian mind, he says that faith now is shaken by sciences, discoveries and theory of revolution and continuing, frustrating change. Now, life became very fast, so there are a lot of changes that man can not absorb. Ø He uses past tense when he says that in the past, faith was strong. The idea of the image is that faith in the past was like the circle that circles the diamond and holds it. It was surrounding the earth like the sea surrounding the earth. There is a simile here that the sea was very close to the shore. The word ‘girdle’ is like a belt to roll up tight or like a diamond ring that one has to circle it or put holders to hold it. In the past, faith was holding man’s life controlling and forming it. The sea of faith was once at the full and rounded earth shore, but now it is weakening similar to the weak waves. Ø When it is the ebb of the waves, one could see the shore hidden under the water and species crawling because they are exposed as there is no water after retreating back. The sea of faith was surrounding earth in the past like ring or belt but now the speaker only hears the water retreats back that means that faith has become weak. Ø There is a slow movement of the speaker’s tone which reveals the withdrawal of the sea of faith. It is not strong as it was before. The sea of faith is a symbol of time when religion was very strong without conflict or doubt, it was holding man’s life. Unfortunately, now it has become weak because of the change. This brings a point that modernity unfortunately, weakens faith or religion. Ø What happens actually is that the religious faith is retreating. Here, he means by faith any kind of ideas that can make life meaningful. So man is losing meaning of his life, because life without faith is meaningless and it could bring doubt into life. Ø This stanza is the core or the heart of the poem. One could feel many things in this stanza like the feeling of pain, mutability. There is the theme of faith and theme of mutability. Ø The speaker through his meditation and elaborate comments on the world that he lives in, that he is convinced that Christianity is fading away and weakening. Once it was very strong, it was dominating the universe. Now it is weakening by the power of science. That is because of man without strong faith whose faith is always shaken. 29Ah, love, let us be true 30To one another! for the world, which seems 31To lie before us like a land of dreams, 32So various, so beautiful, so new, 33Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light, 34Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain; 35And we are here as on a darkling plain 36Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight, 37Where ignorant armies clash by night. Ø This is the resolution of this problem after this melancholic meditation about how faith is losing its power which is honesty. Then there is a direct invitation to his beloved to be honest and truthful to each other. He appeals to her with great emotional honesty to be truthful to one another. He gives reason that is they live in the land of dreams. These lands of dreams are so attractive but they are full of diversity. It is full of attractions and beauty and new things. However this land has no joy, love, light, certitude, peace or reality. They are living on this land as if living in a dark place. A world with no faith is a dark world. They are confusing and fighting. Ø Arnold here is alluding to a Greek episode about two armies. Each one was retreating to its camp and because of the wavy sea, one of the soldiers heard the sound of peddles against the shore and though that it was the enemy. He announced the alarm that the enemy was coming and it was at night. It was the same army fighting each others thinking it was the enemy in the dark. It was a tragedy. It is a historical allusion. Ø The use of the allusion here is that man in this life without a fate is going to be lost as there is no guidance. Without faith, man is misled. Ø He appeals to his beloved to be honest to each other because this honesty will support them and sustain this changing world. The allusion to the battle is also to show that man can not survive alone, but he needs help from other humans to support him. Ø The speaker’s tone changes from a melancholic one to an appealing tone. In this dramatic monologue, Arnold meditates in a very philosophical mood upon the calm nature which suggests the meaningless struggle and loss of faith that is found in his society. Ø The poem reveals the poet in a conflict and loss of faith. At the beginning, there was a temporary vision of peaceful mood, but the sounds of the ocean reminded him of human sadness. Ø This poem is of four stanzas and they are not the same. The first is 14 lines, the second is 6 lines, the third is 8 lines and the last one is 9 lines. That is because the speaker is in a state of meditation. The imagery is very significant. The rhythm is very slow. In lines 9, 10 and 11 they are fast. The tone in general is melancholic, but towards the end, the tone tends to be an appealing one. Ø A critic called Petman considers the stanzas of this poem as sonnets but incomplete sonnets. Notice the exclamation marks in 6, 9 to give an opposite effect. In 6 the exclamation is not for auditory only but also to visual for the beauty of nature. In 9 the concentration is to listen of the roar. |
