48 MISS COLERIDGE sit still nor launch out into rapturous, but ill-bred, ecstasies, of the weakling who takes refuge in slang or jocularity for fear of becoming natural and being thought ridiculous. Miss Coleridge stood for Kensington and Culture, so she smiled and shrugged her shoulders at Medea, and called the Bacchae " Hallelujah Lasses." She and Kensington admired Greek literature and art, of course, with enthusiasm tempered by taste but the ; " glory that was Greece," the merciless honesty and riotous passions, the adventurous thought and feeling, were meat too strong for a society whose happiness depended on gazing at one half of life with closed eyes and swallowing the other in sugar-coated pills. So we shall not turn again to " Gathered we shall sometimes read the Leaves," though poems. Henceforth, they will conjure up a less elusive figure. They will show us a pensive lady, rather well dressed in the fashion of five-and-twenty years ago, who sits in a Morris drawing-room, the white walls of which are spotted with Pre-Raphaelite pictures, and muses on what her surroundings represent. She is intelligent and graceful ;1 witty in season, fantastic in measure. Her mind is ruffled by the perplexities appropriate to her age and state ; she searches Canon Dixon's latest poem for light on Holman Hunt's last
MISS COLERIDGE 49 picture. Her life is an exquisite preoccupation with the surface of truth and the heart of unreality. Her poems suggest once more the atmosphere of an age already dead and half- forgotten ; of Sunday afternoons in large rooms with long blinds, behind which men yawn and cultivated women are earnest and playful ; of a world in which people must pretend courageously that life is very important for fear of discovering that it hardly signifies. It is a strange world, faded, friendly, urbane, and, we are happy to think, already infinitely remote.
