1 Poetry as we have since learnt has other tasks than that of imparting psychological values to the visible world Had Wordsworth turned his attention toward these his genius might not have atrophied so soon It remains to indicate briefly in conclusion what gave Wordsworth his initial direction towards Nature as the inevitable raw material for his creative sensibility Here we met I think with two other groups of beliefs current in his age which may be said to have conditioned his poetic experience postulates (doctrinesfeltasfacts’) without which his poetry would not have been what it actually is The first was the product of the deistic tradition of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries to which I have already alluded in passing Ever since the Renaissance the Creation had been steadily gaining in prestige as the art of God’ the universal divine Scripture which liesexpans’d unto the eyes of all’ The emotion of the numinous’ formerly associated with supernature had become attached to Nature itself and by the end of the eighteenth century the divinity the sacredness of nature was to those affected by this tradition almost a first datum of consciousness Wordsworth then did not have to construct this belief wholly out of his experience much of it was given to him Much the same is true of the second of these fundamental beliefs the belief in the grandeur and dignity of man and the holiness of the heart’s affections This too was the products of forces originating (for our purposes) in the Renaissance it had arisen out of the ruins of the theological view of man As the Fall’ receded further and further into the region of fable man was increasingly regarded as a creature not only made in but retaining God’s image and Wordsworth could acknowledge without misgiving a grandeur in the beatings of the heart’ and speak in good faith of man and his noble nature’ In Wordsworth’s lifetime this humanism had taken a colouring from Rousseau and the special nobility of man was therefore only to be looked for in huts where poor men lie’ The higher’ grades of society in which the culture of the Renaissance had been exclusively fostered were now A light a cruel and vain world cut offFrom the natural inlets of just sentimentFrom lowly sympathy and chastening truth [From On Wordsworth and the Locke Tradition by Basil Willey]
2 Poetic influence is a labyrinthine process and at its deepest is remote from echo and allusion though it does not exclude them…When Whitman tallies he takes measures of all things implicitly including the measure of his own poetry In his very different way Whitman is as formalist a poet as were our late contemporaries James Merrill and Anthony Hecht who usefully may be contrasted to the late A R Ammons and to John Ashbery both of them strongly influenced by the poet of Leaves of Grass Ammons and the versatile Ashbery can be far freer in form than Whitman ever is The King James Bible is the largest influence upon Whitman’s style and the Hebrew parallelism breaks through in the strongest of the translators William Tyndale and Miles Coverdale There is no single measure to Whitman’s song just as his huge enlargements transcend all previous notions as to what can constitute materiapoetica To hold together the vastness of his topics and the fluid dissolves of his tropes Whitman had to discover a master metaphor and found it in the tally at once his confession sprig’ and his incanted warbles for lilactime The Whitmanian tally is the binding agent for When Lilacs last in the Dooryard Bloom’d the sonorous elegy for the martyred Abraham Lincoln Together with As I Ebb’d with the Ocean of Life Lilacs is the most formally measured of Whitman’s peoms I have a passion for Lilacs though the epic Song of Myself is certainly the center of the Whitmanian poetic cosmos Henry and William James T S Eliot(belatedly) and Wallace Stevens all associated Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking with Lilacs because there is a clear affinity between the mockingbird’s song and the song of death warbled by the hermit thrush The boy Whitman first beholds the mockingbird when the lilacscent was in the air The crucial difference between Out of Cradle and Lilacs seems to me that the sea in the first poem lisps the low and delicious word death which becomes the burden of hermit thrush’s song in Lilacs In the earlier poems the male mockingbird sings of bereavement but not of death though that is implied Why did Whitman choose the word tally for what I judge to be his comprehensive vision of poetic voice The word has a curious history It derives from the Latin talea which means a cutting rod or stick on which you record payments and the sum still owed In English it transmuted into the idea of a duplicate or other half It then became associated with illicit love To live tally was to dwell together without marriage In time the word expanded to become tallywhacking tally woman and tallywags [From The Anatomy of Influence Literature as a Way of Life by Harold Bloom]
