Conventional war-poetry, excellently represented by Tennyson's Charge of the Light Brigade, which itself harks back to Drayton's stirring Ballad of Agincourt, has not the slightest echo in these volumes; and ordinary songs of labour are equally remote. Face to face with Life that is where the poet leads us, and where he leaves us.
The sorcerer and the giant fought with each other for a time, and at last the giant seized the sorcerer, thrust him into his maw, stretched his neck and swallowed him. Then he went his way contentedly. And now when it was too late, the soldiers realized that the sorcerer had tricked them. It harks back to Tung Tian Giau Dschu as its founder. Compare note to No. 18.
The youth harks onward, singing merrily and rejoicing in sympathy with the mystic song of the birds; there is so much space around him the very breath of life is a joy and he is content to taste in glorious idleness the ecstasy of living.
From the opening scene where the golden-winged swans carry Nala's words of love to Damayanti in the garden, sporting at sunset with her maidens, the old tale moves on with beauty and with pathos. The Swayamvara, or Self Choice, harks back to the time when the Indian princess might herself choose among her suitors.
Yet there was a certain fascination about his face and bearing that appealed to the spark of the primitive in women; that last lingering cell that harks fondly back to men in the raw. His age might have been anywhere above twenty-six and under fifty-six.
The question hinges on what are called "sumptuary laws"; that is, statutes regulating the food and drink, the habits and apparel of the individual citizen. This in turn harks back to the issue of paternal government. That, once admitted and established, becomes in time all-embracing. Bigotry is a disease. The bigot pursuing his narrow round is like the bedridden possessed by his disordered fancy.
Then he would come back, and Lucien would hope to see his poet next day, only to find a stranger in his place. When two young men meet daily, their talk harks back to their last conversation; but these continual interruptions obliged Lucien to break the ice afresh each time, and further checked an intimacy which made little progress during the first few weeks.
His vocabulary is conceded, even by his most envious critics, to outrange that of any other American. His gift of figurative speech that essential that distinguishes literature from mere correct writing rivals that of any writer in any country, language or time. Brann's compass of words, idioms and phrases harks back to the archaic and reaches forward to the futuristic.
Using a two-measure motive, which he announces at the very start, the singer works the material over and over, first in one harmonic mode and then in the other, frequently changing the form of the motive through embellishments or altered metric values, but always leaving an impression which harks back to the original motive.
An expressive line rising in the clarinet harks back to one of the later strains of the funeral march. Yet all the strains move in the gentle, soothing pace and mood until suddenly awakened to the first vehement rhythm. Before the slower verse returns is a long plaint of cellos to softest roll of drums. The gentle calls that usher in the melody have a significant turn, upwards instead of down.
