Excerpt: ... THE YARROW. "0 sole thing sweeter than thine own songs were!"--Swinburne. ER life's revelation came with Prince Ferdinand, and Mirando's heart went forth as the petals of the bindweed to the sun. There are scenes which we greet thus, or by which, more truly, we are greeted; mysteriously responsive combinations of water and green grass, landscapes which are interpretations, which we love as Mirando loved the prince, which we love as Narcissus loved himself when his own face looked back upon him from the Greek stream. The years create quickly reserves in sensitive souls; the culture which life's joys and sorrows effect disguises the sentiments; feeling blends more and more with thought; imagination with memory. Then the intensified consciousness reverts to nature's face to seek there the delicate reflections scarcely sought before, the response which a few combinations of simple things give. The heart thus deepened and refined by the poetry of its own life finds what it loves supremely in the Vale of Yarrow. It is the landscape whose sentiment reveals our own. It is Mirando's Ferdinand. But having thus premised, one must contradict the inference: for Ferdinand was Mirando's first love, as the Yarrow is not likely to be yours. One fancies it is not the stream which will earliest captivate the heart. Something we must bring with us, or it is not the Yarrow of song. When our lives are steeped in the langours of many set suns; when the keen sorrows of youth are softened in aerial perspective; when we have ceased to make any exactions of nature but the simple repose of peace; it is then, but not till then, we love with this strange foregone love, half a serene recognition, half a bewildering surprise, such silent, sympathetic, enfolding, admonitory, reminiscent ...
