The soul of King Wen, father of the King Wu below, and posthumously raised by his son to royal rank, is represented as enjoying happiness in a state beyond the grave: King Wen is on high, In glory in heaven. His comings and his goings Are to and from the presence of God. He is a Spirit. Sometimes in the Odes there is a hint that God, in spite of His anthropomorphic semblance, is a spirit:
Indeed, so imperfect and false are the plan and style of the literary biographies, that such opprobria are, as it were, necessary to them, necessary stimulants of attention, and necessary shades of what would otherwise be a monotonous and ineffective picture; and thus the unlucky men of letters suffer posthumously for the stupidity of others as well as their faults or divergencies.
A series of prose romances began with The House of the Wolfings , and included The Roots of the Mountains, Story of the Glittering Plain, The Wood beyond the World, The Well at the World's End , and posthumously The Water of the Wondrous Isles, and Story of the Sundering Flood.
For twenty years before his death Alfred de Vigny wrote nothing. He lived in retirement, almost a recluse, in La Charente, rarely visiting Paris. Admitted into L'Academie Francaise in 1845, he describes in his 'Journal d'un Poete' his academic visits and the reception held out to him by the members of L'Institut.

I rose and rescued the volume, which was a careful enough edition of some poems and scraps of poems, posthumously discovered, of a well-known poet. "Pray accept it with my kindest regards," said Father Payne.
Reeve, It has come into the head of my family, and through theirs into mine, that there is no particular reason why my Autobiography should not be published now, instead of posthumously, and that there are some motives for giving a preference to present publication. The agreement with Messrs.
The remaining forty-three, what was left of them, were cremated at night-time and posthumously ennobled. He was the author of some mighty fine dissertations on falconry, dancing and architecture.
And more particularly I hated it when Mrs. Mackridge and Mrs. Booch and Mrs. Latude-Fernay were staying in the house. They were, all three of them, pensioned-off servants. Old friends of Lady Drew's had rewarded them posthumously for a prolonged devotion to their minor comforts, and Mrs. Booch was also trustee for a favourite Skye terrier.
Among his writings are The Beginning of the Middle Ages , and a memoir on The Oxford Movement , pub. posthumously. He also wrote Lives of Anselm, Dante, Spenser, and Bacon. Satirist, s. of a clergyman, was ed. at Westminster School, and while still a schoolboy made a clandestine marriage.
