WEDNESDAY EVENING, JAN. 12, 1881.
The Story et Elaine.
"
A stuay read by Mr. O. Jr. Adam Before Bis
VlafcS 111 r.nglisu iamrmure ib iio iie
veinber, 1880.
Says our distinguished countryman,
Henry James, in speaking of the " Idyls
of the King," "If one surrenders one's
sense te their perfect picturesqueness, it
is the most charming poetry in the world."
High praise this is, yet Mr. James is by
no means an unqualified admirer of the
Laureate, and is quite capable of criticis
ing harshly when the occasion seems te
him te demand it. But who will net agree
with him in this instance ? "Who that has
once read that wonderful group of Arthn
riau poems, from the mystical adrent of
the here te his passiug te the ! islaud
Valley of Avilien," but likes te turn te
them asaiu and ngaiu ? Who de does net
delight te fellow the patient Enid riding
through the forest with her disdainful
lord ; te watch the comb-.its of thf youth
ful Gareth, while the scornful Lynette
leeks en with cuiliug lip. or te fellow the
knights in their quest of the Hely Grail.
Who does net love the meek Sir Percival
and tearfully regret that the freshness of
Sir Pclleas's love should be wasted en the
worthless Etarre ? Who does net lese pa
tience with the fine Gawain, whose court
esy, though fine, yet "had a touch of
traitor in it ;'' and who but wishes that
the brave Sir Lancelet might have been as
the pure Sir Galahad. An abler critic than
Mr. James has declared the poem Guin
evere te be superior te all modern Eng
lish poetry. Admitting this te be true
it is net the poem of the ten which
we love best, for among many there
must always be one that appeals most
strongly te our sympathies. I need net
ask you which this one is of the wonder
ful Idyls ; you are doubtless of one mind in
this, and would say Elaine if the question
were put. There she stands, the lily
maid of Astelat at the castle gate,
" Ilerbt itflit hair blown about the serious face.
Yet re-y-klndlcd with her brother's kiss."
And let us hope that as long as the story
of sweet, pure love shall have attractions,,
se long "Elaine the fair, Elaine the lov
able," will still be dear te all the sweet
and pure.
Like Viela, she was "ail the daughters
of her father's house," but the Lord of
Astelat had two sons, the "blunt and
plain Sir Terre" and the "young, impetu
ous Lavaine," in whom there seeni3 te
have dwelt a grace akin te that of the
lily maid, but manly as becomes a man.
"Mether or the liens' there was net."
Had there been, the story had been yet
untold, for the lady of the castle would
have found many a task for her gentle
daughter's fingers that would have left
her miud less free for thoughts of love,and
when she met Sir Lancelet she would net
have
' Liltft up her eyes
And loved him with the love that wa her
deem."
Perhaps she would net, but leve is net
te be lightly turned aside in a simple
maiden who sees for the first time the
man who seems te her
"the Koedllet man
That ever among ladies ate in hall,"
yet a mother would doubtless have taken
care that she should net have climbed her
tewe and "lived in fantasy."
Leving and tender as her father and
brothers were, they could net understand
the lily maid who suddenly became a thing
apart from their lives when came the "love
that washer deem," and yet her gentle
spirit must always have been in a meas
ure something apart from their coarser
masculine natures.
It is a pretty picture that we have be
fore us when the great Sir Lancelet comes
te Astelat. Unknown te them he is, yet
from his presence the men of Astelat di
vine him one of these
" Who cat in Arthur's halls."
While they held converse with him the
lily maid stands behind her father, and
"h-ll her eyes upon the ground,"
till when he has spoken
"The lily ui.iiil, Klaiue,
Wen by thu nieilew voice before hhu looked.
Lifted her eyes and read his Hnciine-its."
The Lord of Ast'!at was but a peer
knight compared with these of the Table
Round, but Lancelet
"into lii rude hall
Steptwilh all yi-.iee, and net with halt dis
dain Hid under grace, as in a smaller man.
But kindly man moving among his kiuil,"
and se doing wen the hearts of his enter
tainers. And while he talks the young
Lavaine becomes " rapt by all the sweet
and sudden passion of youth toward great
ness in his elder," and when Lancelet
says of Arthur
"There lives no greater leader.
Lew te her own heart "said the lily maid,
have your great self, fair lord.' "
There can be nothing sweeter than the
story of the sudden love of thw guileless
maid for the greatest man of that day.
But he at first knew nothing of it, for his
guilty Icve for Guinevere precluded the
possibility of his leviug elsewhere. She
takes note of all he docs, and
'All night long his face before her lived,
Dark, splendid, speaking In the silence, lull
Of noble things, and held her from her sleep.'
Her beauty, when he at last perceives
it, strikes him with ;; sort of wondering
fear, for when in early morning ere his de
parture, she comes shyly near,
" He looked, and mere amazed
Thau if seven men had set upon him, saw
The maiden standing in th: dewy light,
lie had net dreamed she was se bi'uutilul.
Then came en him a sort el" sacred tear.
or silent, the' he greeted Her, ne steed
Ilapt en his face as if it were a Ged's."
Still he thinks her but a child, consent
ing te wear her favor, "a red sleeve bor
dered with pearls," at the lists, as he
v-euld grant the request of some fair child
whose heart was set upon a certain fancy,
and se rides away, leaving his shield in
her care. And well she guards her trust.
Better she had net done se, since her love
fertius great unknown knight is only
deepeued by the preseucc of that sacred
shield,
"Which first she placed where morning's
earliest ray
Might strike it, and wake her with th gleam ;
Then farin rustorseilurc. fashien'd ler it
A case et silk, and braided thereupon
All the devices blazoned en the shield
In their own tiuet, and added, or her wit,
A border fantasy of branch and flower.
And ycllow-threitc'i ncstltng in he nest.
Ner rested thus content, but day by day.
Leaving- her household and geed father,
climbed
The eastern tower, and enteritis barred her
deer.
Stript off the case, and read the naked shield.
New guessed a hidden meaning in his arms,
New mailea nrettv history te herself
Of every dint a sword hau beaten in it,
And every scratch a lance had made upon it,
Conjecturing when and where;
Soshe lived in fmtusy."
Later, when the fine Gawain comes in
search of Lancelet and sets
" Himself te play upon her
With sallying wit, free flashes from a height
Above her. praces et the court, and songs.
Sighs, and slew smiles, and golden eloquence
And amorous adulation,'
The Lily Maid is no wise dazzled by it
all, aud in her sweet simplicity she an
swers him wheu he questions of her love
for Lancelet :
"What knew l?
My brethren have been all my fellowship.
And I, when often they have talked et love.
Wished it had been my mother, ler tbey talked.
Meseemed, of what they knew net, se myself
I knew net If I knew what true love is.
But If I knew, then. If I love net him,
Methlnks there is none ether I can love."
There is nothing unmaidenly in the
frank avowal ; it is the utterance of a
guileless heart that is .filled with one pure,
fervent emotion. When she gees te nurse
Sir Lancelet after his deadly hurt the
knowledge of her love can be no longer
hid from Lancelet, for
" AH her heart's sad secret blazed itself
In the heart's colors en her simple face."
One longs te interpose te save, this ten
der little maid from the ine vitable. Sure
ly it seems Lancelet might love her if he
chose and se he docs
"with all love except the love
Ot man and woman when they love their best.
Closest and sweetest, and hail died the death
In any knightly fashion ter her sake,"
but that is all,and the lily maid dimly sees
it that it may be no mere.
"Then as a little helpless innocent bird.
That lias but one plain passage of tew notes,
Will ing the simple passage o'er and o'er
Fer all an April morning, till the ear
Wearies te hear it, se the simple maid
Went half the night repeating "Must I die?"
And new te right she turned, and new te left.
And found no ease In turning or in rest :
And " him or death," she muttered, " death or
him,"
Again aud like a burthen, "him or death."
Still she hopes aud after Sir Lancelet re
turns te Astelat with Lavaine and her,
"Tin-re morn by morn, arraying her weits'lf
In that wherein sh deemed sue looted nor
best.
She came before Sir Lancelet, for she thought
4 It I be loved these arc my festal robes :
If net, the victim's flowers b,ufore he fal 1.' "
It is pitiful, this waste of that rare
thing, pure, simple-hearted love, that like
charity thinketh no evil and endureth all
things. Yet there are Elaines of our ewu
day who threw around an unworthy ob
ject the mantle of their pure affection aud
refuse te sec their idol's feet el clay. At
last the day comes te the lily maid when it
is no longer a doubt that Lincelet loves
her net.
"Then suddenly and passionately she npuke:
' 1 have gene mad. 1 love veu. Let me die.'
Ah sister.' answered Lancelet, ' what is tills?1
And innocently extending her white arms,
'Your love," she said, 'your love te be your
wife.1
And Lancelet answered, 'Had Ichoseiite wed,
I luulbeen wedtled earlier, nnect Klaine,
But new thore never will be wife of mine.''
0 wondrous selflessness of woman's love!
Sustained by her own purity of intention
and knowing in her happy ignorance
nothing of the coarse judgments of the
world slie throws her whele fair soul into
a last appeal :
" I care net te be wife.
But te be with you still, te see your face.
Te serve you and te fellow you thre' the
world."
Like the "fair and happy milkmaid "
whom Sir Themas Ovcrbury has immortal
ized, " she fears no manner of ill because
she means none," and in this one heart
breaking appeal we have the most perfect
presentment of sweet innocence that the
world has ever seen. But it is a hopeless
appealing and Sir Lancelet rides away
again, this time te return no mere, while
she leeks down from her casement upon
his loved retreating presence, and after
sits alone in her room from which is geno
the sacred .shield.
"But still she heard him, still his pictuie
lerni'd
Ami grew betweeu ami the pictured wall."
Full tenderly her father and brothers
labor te comfort her in their way which,
tender as it is, is yet unlike a mother's.
" Then eunie her father, saying in le r tones,
' Have comfort,' whom she greeted iiletly,
Then came her brethren saying, -A'eace te
thee.
Sweet sister,1 whom she answer'd with all
calm."
But their words of comfort fall en unheed
ing ears for still she sits in her tower in
tearless quiet.
"And whf n .hey left her te herself again,
Death, like a trie mi's voice from a distant
Held
Approaching through the darkness, called,"
and then as the fabled swan, she sings her
own death song while wonderingly her
kindred listen from without.
"Sweet is true love, the' given in vain, in
vain.
Aud sweet is lentil who puts an end te pain ;
1 knew net which is sweeter, no, net I.
Leve, art thou sweet? then bitter deatli must
be :
Leve, thou art bitter ; sweet i death te inc.
0 Leve, it death be sweeter, let me die.
There is a helpless, clinging pathos in
every line of this song which otie must
needs be hard indeed te read unmoved.
"Sweet Leve, that seen.-, net made te fade
away ;
Sweet Death, that s e:ns ; m-iku ns loveless
claw
1 knew net which is sweeter, no, net I.
I. tain would fellow Leve, if that could be:
I needs must fellow Death, who calls ferme;
Call ami I fellow, 1 fellow ! let me die."
1 doubt if there is another song in the
language of equal beauty and pathos when
we consider the setting in which the Liu
icate has placed it.
Fain would her kindred divert her mind
from the object of her love, but they .pjr .pjr
ferin their task but clumsily, and defeat
their purpose.
" The rough Terre began te heave and move
And bluster into stormy bebi-,"
and speaks ill of Lincelet, aud her father
tells her of the guilty love the great
knight bears toward Queen Guinevere,
but she listens only half comprehending.
As her love is great se is her faith, and she
answers :
"Never yet was noble man but made ignoble
bilk.
He makes no friend who never makes a fee.
But new it is my glory te have loved
One peerless, without stain."
The end comes rapidly, and while her
grasp en life grows every day mere feeble,
she beseeches Lavaine te write a letter at
her dictation te Laucelet, and itlien makes
one last request of her father, which is
pathetic in the deepest sense.
" O, sweet father, tender and true.
Denv me net.' she said 'you never yet
Denied my fancies this, however strange.
Sly latest : lay the letter m my hand
A little ere I die, and close the baud
ITnnn it. 1 kilnll ''ll:llll ltnvcn ill llt'lltll.
And when the heat Is gene trem out my hear:, I
Then taketue uiti: neu upon wuicu 1 men
Fer Lancelet, and deck it like the Queen's
Fer richness, and m: also like the Queen
In all I have et rich, and lay me en it.
And let there be prepared a chariot bar&re
Te take me te the river clothed in black.
I go in state te court te meet the Queen.
There surely I shad speak for mine own self.
And none of you cm speak for me se well.
And therefore let our dumb old man alone
5e with me, he can steer and row. and he
Will guide me te that palacf, te thu deer.-."
The lily maid has no mother te soften
these sad last days, but no mother can be
tenderer than the Lord of Astelat and the
brothers ; but the morning comes at last,
when Elaine the fair, Elaine, the lovable,
is beyond the reach of their tenderness,
and
"that day there was dele in Astelat,"
and only her request remained te be filled.
I knew of no mere beautiful description,
none mere teucuiug, in modern English
literature :
"Se these two brethren from the chariot took
And en the black decks laid her in her bed,
Set In her hand a lily, o'er her hung
The silken case, with braided blazoning.
Aud kUscd her quiet brews, and saying te her,
"Sister, farewell forever :" and again,
"Farewell, sweet sister," parted all in tears.
Then re;e the dumb old servitor, and the dead
Steered by the dumb went upward with the
flood
In her right hand the lily, in her left
xue leuer an ner urigui naw streaming
down
And all the ceverlid wa cloth 1 geld
Drawn te her waist, and she herself in white
All but her face, and that clear-featured face
Was lovely, ler she did net seem as dead
But last asleep, and lay a though she smiled.'"'
It is an exquisite picture drawn by the
band of a most consummate artist. Slowly
s'ides the barge, "palled all in blackest
samite " te the king's palace at Camelet,
and
Arthur bade the meek Sir Perelvale
And pure Sir Galahad te uplift the maid ;
And reverentlv they bore her into hall.
Then came the fine tiawain and wondered at
her.
And Lancelet later came and mused at her.
At last the Queen herself and pitied her;
But Arthur spied the letter In her band,
Stoept. took, broke sral, and read It ; tins was
all:
' Most noble lord. Sir Lancelet or the Lake,
I, sometime eall'd the maid et Astelat,
Come, for you left me taking no farewell.
Hither te take my laat farewell et you.
I loved yen. and my love had no return.
And therefore my true love has been my death.
And therefore te our lady Guinevere,
And te all ether ladies, 1 make mean.
Prav for my soul, and yield me burial.
Pray for my soul thou tee. Sir Lancelet,
as tueu art a Kuigm peeness.
Think of this lily maid lying there in
her dead innocence before these gay
knights and dames, and the grave voice of
the blameless king, faltering somewhat as
he reads these simple words of hers. Lit
tle wonder was it that
" Ever in the reading lords and dames
Wept, looking often from Id lace who read
Te i:crs, which lay se silent, and at times, '
Se touehed were they, hair thinking that her
lips
Who had devised the letter, moved again."
Surely for sweetness and tenderness this
story 'of Elaine has no counterpart. The
" Elaine " of Sir Themas Malery's " Age
of Chivalry " is a cold abstraction beside
Tennyson's matchless portrait of the maid
of Astelat. All honor te the poet who in
this material age, when sentiment seems
te be well-nigh geno from the earth, and
love te be strangled by conventionalities,
could realize for us the story of a pure,
sweet, tender leve, whose very contempla
tion should make us better for the time.
Fer, " after heaven,' says King Arthur :
"On our dull wide et earth
What should be best ir net se pure a love
Clothed in se pure loveliness.
