The "Requiescat" in Oscar's first book of poems was written in memory of this sister who died in her teens, whom he likened to "a ray of sunshine dancing about the house." He took his vocation seriously even in youth: he felt that he should sing his sorrow, give record of whatever happened to him in life. But he found no new word for his bereavement.
He might or might not be a great statesman, but he was undoubtedly a good man; many still remember the shock of his untimely death, and how, whether or not they liked him living, all the honest hearts of England mourned for Mr. Perceval. Possibly that number did not include the Earl of Luxmore. "Requiescat in pace! I shall propose the canonization of poor Bellingham.
God be good to him requiescat animus ejus in pace, per omnia secula seculorum, Amen! he liked a drop in his time, Phaddhy, as well as ourselves, eh?" "Amen, amen the heavens be his bed! he-did, poor man! but he had it at first cost, your Reverence, for he run it all himself in the mountains: he could afford to take it."
Among the minor poems the reader will find the best expression of Arnold's ideals and methods in "Dover Beach," the love lyrics entitled "Switzerland," "Requiescat," "Shakespeare," "The Future," "Kensington Gardens," "Philomela," "Human Life," "Callicles's Song," "Morality," and "Geist's Grave." the last being an exquisite tribute to a little dog which, like all his kind, had repaid our scant crumbs of affection with a whole life's devotion.
"But I have thought of that. Paula Sforza di Santafior is dead. Requiescat! We must dispose that they will let her rest in peace." Speechless I stared at her a moment, so taken was I with the immensity of the thing that she suggested. Fear, amazement, and joy jostled one another for the possession of my mind. "Why do you look so, Lazzaro?" she exclaimed at last. "What is it daunts you?
They were proud to have such a man in the house. It was all sheer happiness. Somehow on the last day the following notice appeared on the House board: In Memoriam MALEVUS SCHOLARUM In hadibus requiescat Quod non sine ignominia militavit No one knew who was responsible for it. Clarke looked at it for a second and turned away with a face that expressed no emotion.
Killed off my first nurse out of hand good little boy, conscientious enough; took no care of himself; ate his meals in the sick-room against my wishes; off he went dicrotic pulse, diarrhea, vomiting, hospital, thrombosis of pulmonary artery, pouf, requiescat." "And Miss Wakeley?" "Knocked under yesterday, and she was fairly saturated with creolin night and morning.
But I drop the mantle of charity over the next scene, for his school-teaching was altogether personal, and not pedagogical. He didn't know that puns and laughter were the reactions on the part of us boys that caused us to know the facts of the book. But he wanted us to learn those facts in his way, and not in our own. Poor fellow! Requiescat in pace, if he can.
He was even heard to declare that "our dear Rosamund is almost the only woman I know who has the precious instinct of reticence; an instinct denied, by the way, even to that delightful and marvelous creature Elizabeth Browning requiescat."
He rested on a most beautiful white satin cloth, with a rich border in Eastern embroidery. Above his head in letters of gold were the words sewn into the satin: "Requiescat in pace." There was the beauty of death the terror was all gone. During Tuesday the body was viewed by the tenants on the estate, the neighbors and friends.
