Excerpt from The Vision of Sir Launfal and Other Poems by Lowell: Edited With an Introduction and Notes In interpreting the poem with young students, special emphasis should be given to the ethical significance, the broad appeal to human sym pathy and the sense of a common brotherhood of men, an appeal that is in accord with the altruistic tendencies of the present time; to the intimate appreciation and love of nature expressed in the poem, feelings also in accord with the present movement of cultured minds toward the natural world; to the lofty' and inspiring idealism of Lowell, as revealed in the poems included in this volume and in his biography, and also as con trasted with current materialism; and, finally, to the romantic sources of the story in the legends of King Arthur and his table round, a region of literary delight too generally unknown to present day students. After these general topics, it is assumed that such matters as literary structure and poetic beauty will receive due attention. If the tech nical faults of the poem, which critics are at much pains to point out, are not discovered by the stu dent, his knowledge will be quite as profitable: Additional reading in Lowell's works should be secured, and can be through the sympathetic interest and enthusiasm of the instructor. The fol lowing selections may be used for rapid examina tion and discussion: Under the Willows, The First snow-fall, Under the Old Elm, Auf Wiedersehen, Sunthin' in the Pastoral Line, Jonathan to John, Mr. Hosea Biglow to the Editor of the Atlantic Monthly, and the prose essays My Garden Ao quaintance and A Good Word for Winter. The opportunity should not be lost for making the students forever and interestedly acquainted with Lowell, with the poet and the man.
