It also comments on aesthetics, beauty, and the temptations of epic storytelling, including the risk of unwieldy pacing and excessive completeness.

unconsciously demands rapidity(even to\"skipping\");and the mistake of loading every linewith ore.But,against this,many passages in this poenreprove me:  \nThe rooks in evening regiment,the bees  \nLeaving the locked doors of the grey-shut flowers,Birds under gossiping eaves,and only the bat  \nAbroad,saw Psyche to her palace home.  \nNor must one forget that the main purpose of thepoem is the contest in Psyche's breast bet ween passionand misgiving,with torture of craving for completenessof love,which yet must be incomplete while\"at oneentrance”—and that vision,in all commerce of humanlove the constant revivifier—“quite shut out.”  \nRobert Bridges was heard to thunder,in conversation,that English blank verse was played out:to which onehad to answer that as Shakespeare's handling differed fromMarlowe's,Milton's from Shakespeare's,and so on and ol1to Swinburne's,quite different from any—such prophecywas gloomy,to say the least.I am mistaken if MrGittings'own cadences,with their running rise and fall,do not carry down a fresh tributary to the ancient river.  \nPSYCHE  \nHerrick once wrote  \nGod is best known by not defining Him,  \n—and that this is true at any rate of the divine effluencesPoetry and Beauty(with the nuances of their blending)I grow the more obstinately assured by every new treatiseon aesthetics_that comes in my way.It is not a crudequestion of\"I know what I like,\"but of breeding in theEuropean tradition,derived from Hellas;by virtue ofwhich one recognises in a poem or any other work of art,the lineaments of beauty in this sort.Other types thereare—Mongolian,Negroid,or of New York Broadway.Some critics will prefer the strain of saxophone(orbagpipe)to the violin’s:others would replace the missingbracchia of the Venus in the Louvre with the brawnylaezrti of Rima in Kensington Gardens.No one (Ithink)trained in the classical notion of our own poetsand their concensus of what beauty means can missrecognising it in Mr Gittings'Psyche.\"  \nIt errs (along with the better)too much to the worseinfluence of Keats;a temptation to which young poetsare prone.It is a story:and the trouble for everyoneattempting to write a story epically is to carry it rapidlyover the commonplace intervals—to be content (if I mayput it in lowest terms)to say\"next morning\"insteadof“On the morning following the events narrated inthe preceding chapter dawn broke,as it seemed slowlyand with an uncertainty correspondent to A's misgivings,etc.\"The illustration is brutal as applied to Mr Gittings'  \nThe Story of Psyche.A Poem by
