When the lyric ended, it was Uke the ceasing of the gypsy's chant in Browning's Flight of the Duchess ; and I remember nothing more, except that in walking back to Cambridge my comrades and I felt that we had been under the spell of some wizard. Indeed, I feel much the same in the retrospect, to this day.
We have treated Poe as representing the Southern mind, though he was born in Bos- ton ; but in reality the only South- Sidney ern poet of leading quahty was i'^,'"'"^- Sidney Lanier. Emerson s...aid unjustly of Shelley, that although uniformly a poetic mind, he was never a poet. As to all the 216 THE SOUTHERN INFLUENCE Southern-born poets of this country except Lanier, even as to Hayne and Timrod, the question still remains whether they got ac- tually beyond the poetic mind. In Tick- nor's Little Giffen and Pinkney's / Fill this Cupf they did. In Lanier's case alone was the artistic work so continuous and syste- matic, subject to such self-imposed laws and tried by so high a standard, as to make it safe, in spite of his premature death, to place him among those whom we may without hesitation treat as " master-singers." Even among these, of course, there are grades; but as Lowell once said of Thoreau, " To be a master is to be a master." With Lanier, music and poetry were in the blood.
