At the date of _Melincourt_, in which this occurs, its even then +admirable author was apt to shoot his arrows rather at a venture; and it +may be hoped, without too much rashness, that he did not mean to speak +disrespectfully of the "sublime strain of immortal genius" itself, but +only of what he thought Wordsworth's corrupt following of that and +similar things. + +Nevertheless, if he had lived a little longer, or if (for he lived quite +long enough) he had been in the mind for such game, he might have found +fresh varieties of it in certain more modern handlings of the same +subject. Since the Brothers Grimm founded modern folklore, it has +required considerable courage to approach nursery songs and nursery +tales in any but a spirit of the severest "scientism," which I presume +to be the proper form for the method of those who call themselves +"scientists." We have not only had investigations--some of them by no +means unfruitful or uninteresting investigations--into certain things +which are, or may be, the originals of these artless compositions in +history or in popular manners. We have not only had some of their queer +verbal jingles twisted back again into what may have been an articulate +and authentic meaning. I do not know that many of them have been made +out to be sun-myths; but that yesterday popular, to-day rather +discredited, system of exposition is very evidently as applicable to +them as to anything else. The older variety of mystical and moral +interpretation having gone out of fashion before they had emerged from +the contempt of the learned, it has not been much applied to them, +though the temptation is great, for, as King Charles observes in +"Woodstock," most things in the world remind one of the tales of Mother +Goose. + +But the most special attentions that nursery rhymes have received have, +perhaps, taken the form of the elaborate and ingenious divisions +attempted by Halliwell and others. Indeed, something of the kind has +been so common that the absence here of anything similar may excite some +surprise, and look like disrespect to a scientific age. The omission, +however, is designed, and a reason or two may be rendered for it. +Halliwell (to take the most generally known instance) has no less than +seventeen compartments in which he stows remorselessly these "things +that are old and pretty," to apply to them a phrase that Lamb loved. +There are, it seems, historical nursery rhymes, literal nursery rhymes; +nursery rhymes narrative, proverbial, scholastic, lyrical, riddlesome; +rhymes dealing with charms, with gaffers and gammers, with games, with +paradoxes, with lullabies, with jingles, with love and matrimony, with +natural (I wish he had called it unnatural) history, with accumulative +stories, with localities, with relics. It may be permitted to cry "Mercy +on us," when one thinks of the poor little wildings, so full of nature +and, if not ignorant of art, of an art so cunningly concealed, being +subjected to the trimmings and torturings of the _Ars Topiaria_ after +this fashion. The division is clearly arbitrary and non-natural; it is +often what logicians very properly object to as a "cross"-division; it +leads to the inclusion of many things which are not properly nursery +rhymes at all; and it necessitates, or at least gives occasion to, a +vast amount of idle talk. For instance, take King Arthur, this way, that +way, which way you please: as a hero of history, as a great central +figure of romance, or even (I grieve to say a learned friend of mine is +wont to speak of him so) as a "West-Welsh thief." Are we called upon in +the very slightest degree to connect any of these Arthurs with the +artist of the bag-pudding? to discuss what was the material that Queen +Guinevere preferred for frying, and to select the most probable +"noblemen" from the Table Round? Does anybody, except as a rather +ponderous joke, care to discuss whether King Cole was really father of +Constantine's mother, and had anything to do with Colchester? Though it +may be admitted that a "Colchester carpet-bag," that is to say, a very +thick steak all but sliced through and stuffed with oysters, would +probably not have been unacceptable to the monarch as a preliminary to +the bowl. + +The simple fact seems to be, that one of Halliwell's +partitions--"jingles"--will do for the whole seventeen, and do a great +deal better than the other sixteen of them. It may be perfectly true +that most of the things indicated in these class-names supplied, in this +case and that, basis for the jingle, starting-points, texts, and so +forth. But all genuine nursery rhymes (even in fragments such as +"Martin Swart and his men, Sodledum [saddle them], sodledum," if it is +genuine, and others where definite history comes in) have never become +nursery rhymes until the historical fact has been practically forgotten +by those who used them, and nothing but the metrical and musical +attraction remains. Some of the alphabet and number rhymes may possibly +(it is sad to have to confess it) have been composed with a deliberate +purpose of instruction; but it is noticeable that these have never +become quite the genuine thing, except in cases such as-- + + "Big A, little a, bouncing B, + The cat's in the cupboard, and she can't see," + +where the subtle tendency to nonsense takes the weak intention of sense +on its back as a fox does a chicken and runs right away with it. Again, +it would be rash to say that it is impossible to make out popular +customs and popular beliefs from these texts. But it is quite certain +that they have for the most part left the customs and the beliefs a long +way behind them, that these things are, to vary the metaphor, merely in +palimpsest relation to the present purport and contents of the rhymes. + +Perhaps, therefore, while not grudging folklorists their perquisitions +in this delightful region, and while acknowledging that there are many +interesting things to be found out by them in it, we may be permitted to +look at nursery rhymes from a rather different point of view. And from +this point it will not, I think, be fanciful to see in them, to a great +extent, the poetical appeal of sound as opposed to that of meaning +expressed in its simplest and most unmistakable terms. We shall find in +these pieces the two special pillars of all modern poetry, alliteration +and rhyme, or at least assonance, which is only rhyme undeveloped. And +we shall find something else, which I venture to call the attraction of +the inarticulate. It is not necessary to take the cynical sense of the +famous saying, that language was given to man to conceal his thoughts, +in order to admit that in moments of more intense and genuine feeling, +if not of thought, he does not as a rule use or at least confine himself +to articulate speech. If the "little language" of mothers to babies be +set down to a supposition that the object addressed does not understand, +that will hardly explain the other "little language" of lovers to +lovers, which has a tendency to be nearly as inarticulate as a +cradle-song, and quite as corruptive of dictionary speech as a nursery +rhyme. In the very stammering of rage there may be thought to be +something more than a simple inability to choose between words; and in +the moaning of sorrow something more than an inability to find suitable +expression. All children--and children, as somebody (I forget who he +was, but he was a wise man) has said, are usually very clever people +till they get spoilt--fall naturally, long after they are quite able to +express themselves as it is called rationally, into a sort of pleasant +gibberish when they are alone and pleased, or even displeased. And I +dare say that a fair number of very considerably grown-up folk, who have +not only come to the legal years of discretion but to the poetical age +of wisdom, do the like now and then. + + "As one walks by oneself, + And talks to oneself," + +by the seaside or on a lonely country road, it must be a not infrequent +experience of most people that one frequently falls into pure jingle and +nonsense-verse of the nursery kind. In fact, it must have happened to +more people than one, or one thousand, by the malice of a sudden corner +or the like, to have been caught doing so to their great confusion, and +to the comfortable conviction of the other party that he has met with +an escaped lunatic. + +I should myself, though I may not carry many people with me, go farther +than this and say that this "attraction of the inarticulate," this +allurement of mere sound and sequence, has a great deal more to do than +is generally thought with the charm of the very highest poetry, and that +no merely valuable thought presented without this accompaniment can +possibly affect us as it does when it summons to its aid such concert of +vowels and consonants as-- + + "Peace! peace! + Dost thou not see my baby at my breast + That sucks the nurse asleep?" + +or as-- + + "Quærens me sedisti lassus, + Redemisti crucem passus; + Tantus labor non sit cassus!" + +In the best nursery rhymes, as in the simpler and more genuine ballads +which have so close a connection with them, we find this attraction of +the inarticulate--this charm of pure sound, this utilising of +alliteration and rhyme and assonance, and the cunning juxtaposition now +of similar, now of contrary vowels--not in a passionate, but in a frank +and simple form. Many of them probably, some of them certainly, had, as +has been said, a definite meaning once, and we may attend to the +folklorist as he expounds what it was or may have been; but for the most +part they have very victoriously got the better of that meaning, have +bid it, in their own lingo, "go to Spain," without the slightest +meditation or back-thought whether Spain is the proper place for it or +not. In that particular _locus classicus_ "Spain" rhymes to "rain," and +that is not merely the chief and principal, but the absolutely +all-sufficient thing. So, too, there is no doubt a most learned +explanation of the jargon (variously given and spelt)-- + + "Hotum-potum, paradise tantum, perry-merry-dictum, domaree," + +at which a friend of mine used to laugh consumedly, declaring that this +cavalier coupling of "paradise _tantum_" "_only_ paradise," was the +nicest thing he knew. But the people who mellowed it into that form, and +recited it afterwards, never cared one scrap for the meaning. They had +got it into a pleasant jingle of vowels, a desirable sequence of +consonants, and a good swing of cadence, and that was enough. When +"Curlylocks" is invited to be "mine" by the promise "thou shalt sew a +fine seam," does anybody suppose that this housewifely operation was +much more (it may have been a little more) of a bait to the Curlylocks +of those days than to the Curlylocks of these? Not at all. "Sew" and +"seam" went naturally together, they made a pleasing alliteration, and +the latter word rhymed to "cream," of which the Curlylocks of all days +has been not unusually fond. + +Not, of course, that there is not much wit and much wisdom, much +picturesqueness and not a little pathos in our rhymes. All good men have +justly admired these qualities in "Sing a Song of Sixpence" and +"Ding-dong Bell," in "Margery Daw" and "Who Killed Cock Robin?" I rather +suspect the wicked literary man of having more to do than genuine +popular sentiment with the delightful progress and ending of "There was +a Little Boy and a Little Girl." But the undoubtedly genuine notes are +numerous enough and various enough, from that previously mentioned and +admirable thrift of good King Arthur, or rather of Queen Guinevere (from +whom, according to naughty romancers, we should have less expected it), +to the sound common-sense of "Three Children;" from the decorative +convention of "Little Boy Blue" to the arabesque and even grotesque of +"Hey-diddle-diddle." + +But I shall still contend that the main, the pervading, the +characteristic attraction of them lies in their musical accompaniment of +purely senseless sound, in their rhythm, rhyme, jingle, refrain, and the +like, in the simplicity and freshness of their modulated form. For thus +they serve as anthems and doxologies to the goddess whom in this context +it is not satirical to call "_Divine_ Nonsensia," who still in all lands +and times condescends now and then to unbind the burden of meaning from +the backs and brains of men, and lets them rejoice once more in pure, +natural, senseless sound. + + GEORGE SAINTSBURY. + + + + + [Illustration: INDEX TO FIRST LINES] + + + A carrion crow sat on an oak + + A diller, a dollar + + A farmer went trotting upon his grey mare + + A frog he would a-wooing go + + A gentleman of good account + + A little cock sparrow sat on a green tree + + A long-tailed pig, and a short-tailed pig + + A man of words and not of deeds + + An apple pie, when it looks nice + + A nick and a nock + + An old woman was sweeping her house + + A pie sate on a pear-tree + + Around the green gravel the grass grows green + + As I walked by myself + + As I was a-going by a little pig-sty + + As I was going o'er Westminster Bridge + + As I was going to sell my eggs + + As I was going to St. Ives + + As I was going up Pippen Hill + + As little Jenny Wren + + As soft as silk, as white as milk + + A swarm of bees in May + + A was an apple-pie + + A was an archer, and shot at a frog + + Baa, baa, black sheep + + Barber, barber, shave a pig + + Bat, bat + + Bessy Bell and Mary Gray + + Billy, Billy, come and play + + Bless you, bless you, burny-bee + + Blow, wind, blow! and go, mill, go + + Bobby Shaftoe's gone to sea + + Bow, wow, says the dog + + Bryan O'Lin, and his wife, and wife's mother + + Bryan O'Lin had no breeches to wear + + Buttons a farthing a pair + + Bye, baby bunting + + Charley, Charley, stole the barley + + Cherries are ripe + + Cock a doodle doo + + Cold and raw the north wind doth blow + + Come, let's to bed + + Come, take up your hats, and away let us haste + + "Croak!" said the toad, "I'm hungry, I think" + + Cross patch + + Curly locks! curly locks! wilt thou be mine?

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/36685-8.zip b/36685-8.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..28c95b2 --- /dev/null +++ b/36685-8.zip diff --git a/36685-h.zip b/36685-h.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..13c3a08 --- /dev/null +++ b/36685-h.zip diff --git a/36685-h/36685-h.htm b/36685-h/36685-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..2fe6cf9 --- /dev/null +++ b/36685-h/36685-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,10827 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" + "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> + <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> + +<head> + + <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;

At the date of <i>Melincourt</i>, in which this occurs, its even then +admirable author was apt to shoot his arrows rather at a venture; and it +may be hoped, without too much rashness, that he did not mean to speak +disrespectfully of the "sublime strain of immortal genius" itself, but +only of what he thought Wordsworth's corrupt following of that and +similar things.</p> + +<p>Nevertheless, if he had lived a little longer, or if (for he lived quite +long enough) he had been in the mind for such game, he might have found +fresh varieties of it in certain more modern handlings of the same +<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_vi" id="Page_vi">[Pg vi]</a></span>subject. Since the Brothers Grimm founded modern folklore, it has +required considerable courage to approach nursery songs and nursery +tales in any but a spirit of the severest "scientism," which I presume +to be the proper form for the method of those who call themselves +"scientists." We have not only had investigations—some of them by no +means unfruitful or uninteresting investigations—into certain things +which are, or may be, the originals of these artless compositions in +history or in popular manners. We have not only had some of their queer +verbal jingles twisted back again into what may have been an articulate +and authentic meaning. I do not know that many of them have been made +out to be sun-myths; but that yesterday popular, to-day rather +discredited, system of exposition is very evidently as applicable to +them as to anything else. The older variety of mystical and moral +interpretation having gone out of fashion before they had emerged from +the contempt of the learned, it has not been much applied to them, +though the temptation is great, for, as King Charles observes in +"Woodstock," most things in the world remind one of the tales of Mother +Goose.</p> + +<p>But the most special attentions that nursery rhymes have received have, +perhaps, taken the form of the elaborate and ingenious divisions +attempted by Halliwell and others. Indeed, something of the kind has +been so common that the absence here of anything similar may excite some +surprise, and look like disrespect to a scientific age. The omission, +however, is designed, and a reason or two may be rendered for it. +Halliwell (to take the most generally known instance) has no less than +seventeen compartments in which he stows remorselessly these "things +that are old and pretty," to apply to them a phrase that Lamb loved. +There are, it seems, historical nursery rhymes, literal nursery rhymes; +nursery rhymes narrative, proverbial, scholastic, lyrical, riddlesome; +<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_vii" id="Page_vii">[Pg vii]</a></span>rhymes dealing with charms, with gaffers and gammers, with games, with +paradoxes, with lullabies, with jingles, with love and matrimony, with +natural (I wish he had called it unnatural) history, with accumulative +stories, with localities, with relics. It may be permitted to cry "Mercy +on us," when one thinks of the poor little wildings, so full of nature +and, if not ignorant of art, of an art so cunningly concealed, being +subjected to the trimmings and torturings of the <i>Ars Topiaria</i> after +this fashion. The division is clearly arbitrary and non-natural; it is +often what logicians very properly object to as a "cross"-division; it +leads to the inclusion of many things which are not properly nursery +rhymes at all; and it necessitates, or at least gives occasion to, a +vast amount of idle talk. For instance, take King Arthur, this way, that +way, which way you please: as a hero of history, as a great central +figure of romance, or even (I grieve to say a learned friend of mine is +wont to speak of him so) as a "West-Welsh thief." Are we called upon in +the very slightest degree to connect any of these Arthurs with the +artist of the bag-pudding? to discuss what was the material that Queen +Guinevere preferred for frying, and to select the most probable +"noblemen" from the Table Round? Does anybody, except as a rather +ponderous joke, care to discuss whether King Cole was really father of +Constantine's mother, and had anything to do with Colchester? Though it +may be admitted that a "Colchester carpet-bag," that is to say, a very +thick steak all but sliced through and stuffed with oysters, would +probably not have been unacceptable to the monarch as a preliminary to +the bowl.</p> + +<p>The simple fact seems to be, that one of Halliwell's +partitions—"jingles"—will do for the whole seventeen, and do a great +deal better than the other sixteen of them. It may be perfectly true +that most of the things indicated in these class-names supplied, in this +case and that, basis for the jingle, starting-points, texts, and so +<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_viii" id="Page_viii">[Pg viii]</a></span>forth. But all genuine nursery rhymes (even in fragments such as +"Martin Swart and his men, Sodledum [saddle them], sodledum," if it is +genuine, and others where definite history comes in) have never become +nursery rhymes until the historical fact has been practically forgotten +by those who used them, and nothing but the metrical and musical +attraction remains. Some of the alphabet and number rhymes may possibly +(it is sad to have to confess it) have been composed with a deliberate +purpose of instruction; but it is noticeable that these have never +become quite the genuine thing, except in cases such as—</p> + +<p class="p6 noin">"Big A, little a, bouncing B,<br /> +The cat's in the cupboard, and she can't see,"</p> + +<p class="noin">where the subtle tendency to nonsense takes the weak intention of sense +on its back as a fox does a chicken and runs right away with it. Again, +it would be rash to say that it is impossible to make out popular +customs and popular beliefs from these texts. But it is quite certain +that they have for the most part left the customs and the beliefs a long +way behind them, that these things are, to vary the metaphor, merely in +palimpsest relation to the present purport and contents of the rhymes.</p> + +<p>Perhaps, therefore, while not grudging folklorists their perquisitions +in this delightful region, and while acknowledging that there are many +interesting things to be found out by them in it, we may be permitted to +look at nursery rhymes from a rather different point of view. And from +this point it will not, I think, be fanciful to see in them, to a great +extent, the poetical appeal of sound as opposed to that of meaning +expressed in its simplest and most unmistakable terms. We shall find in +these pieces the two special pillars of all modern poetry, alliteration +and rhyme, or at least assonance, which is only rhyme undeveloped. And +we shall find something else, which I venture to call +<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_ix" id="Page_ix">[Pg ix]</a></span> +the attraction of +the inarticulate. It is not necessary to take the cynical sense of the +famous saying, that language was given to man to conceal his thoughts, +in order to admit that in moments of more intense and genuine feeling, +if not of thought, he does not as a rule use or at least confine himself +to articulate speech. If the "little language" of mothers to babies be +set down to a supposition that the object addressed does not understand, +that will hardly explain the other "little language" of lovers to +lovers, which has a tendency to be nearly as inarticulate as a +cradle-song, and quite as corruptive of dictionary speech as a nursery +rhyme. In the very stammering of rage there may be thought to be +something more than a simple inability to choose between words; and in +the moaning of sorrow something more than an inability to find suitable +expression. All children—and children, as somebody (I forget who he +was, but he was a wise man) has said, are usually very clever people +till they get spoilt—fall naturally, long after they are quite able to +express themselves as it is called rationally, into a sort of pleasant +gibberish when they are alone and pleased, or even displeased. And I +dare say that a fair number of very considerably grown-up folk, who have +not only come to the legal years of discretion but to the poetical age +of wisdom, do the like now and then.</p> + +<p class="p8 noin">"As one walks by oneself,<br /> +And talks to oneself,"</p> + +<p class="noin">by the seaside or on a lonely country road, it must be a not infrequent +experience of most people that one frequently falls into pure jingle and +nonsense-verse of the nursery kind. In fact, it must have happened to +more people than one, or one thousand, by the malice of a sudden corner +or the like, to have been caught doing so to their great confusion, and +to the comfortable conviction<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_x" id="Page_x">[Pg x]</a></span> of the other party that he has met with +an escaped lunatic.</p> + +<p>I should myself, though I may not carry many people with me, go farther +than this and say that this "attraction of the inarticulate," this +allurement of mere sound and sequence, has a great deal more to do than +is generally thought with the charm of the very highest poetry, and that +no merely valuable thought presented without this accompaniment can +possibly affect us as it does when it summons to its aid such concert of +vowels and consonants as—</p> +<br /> +<span style="margin-left: 20em;">"Peace! peace!</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 12em;">Dost thou not see my baby at my breast</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 12em;">That sucks the nurse asleep?"</span><br /> + +<p class="noin">or as—</p> + +<span style="margin-left: 12em;">"Quærens me sedisti lassus,</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 12em;">Redemisti crucem passus;</span><br /> +<span style="margin-left: 12em;">Tantus labor non sit cassus!"</span><br /> +<br /> +<p>In the best nursery rhymes, as in the simpler and more genuine ballads +which have so close a connection with them, we find this attraction of +the inarticulate—this charm of pure sound, this utilising of +alliteration and rhyme and assonance, and the cunning juxtaposition now +of similar, now of contrary vowels—not in a passionate, but in a frank +and simple form. Many of them probably, some of them certainly, had, as +has been said, a definite meaning once, and we may attend to the +folklorist as he expounds what it was or may have been; but for the most +part they have very victoriously got the better of that meaning, have +bid it, in their own lingo, "go to Spain," without the slightest +meditation or back-thought whether Spain is the proper place for it or +not. In that particular <i>locus classicus</i> "Spain" rhymes to "rain," and +that is not merely the chief and principal, but the absolutely +all-sufficient thing.<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_xi" id="Page_xi">[Pg xi]</a></span> So, too, there is no doubt a most learned +explanation of the jargon (variously given and spelt)—</p> + +<p class="noin p4">"Hotum-potum, paradise tantum, perry-merry-dictum, domaree,"</p> + +<p>at which a friend of mine used to laugh consumedly, declaring that this +cavalier coupling of "paradise <i>tantum</i>" "<i>only</i> paradise," was the +nicest thing he knew. But the people who mellowed it into that form, and +recited it afterwards, never cared one scrap for the meaning. They had +got it into a pleasant jingle of vowels, a desirable sequence of +consonants, and a good swing of cadence, and that was enough. When +"Curlylocks" is invited to be "mine" by the promise "thou shalt sew a +fine seam," does anybody suppose that this housewifely operation was +much more (it may have been a little more) of a bait to the Curlylocks +of those days than to the Curlylocks of these? Not at all. "Sew" and +"seam" went naturally together, they made a pleasing alliteration, and +the latter word rhymed to "cream," of which the Curlylocks of all days +has been not unusually fond.</p> + +<p>Not, of course, that there is not much wit and much wisdom, much +picturesqueness and not a little pathos in our rhymes. All good men have +justly admired these qualities in "Sing a Song of Sixpence" and +"Ding-dong Bell," in "Margery Daw" and "Who Killed Cock Robin?" I rather +suspect the wicked literary man of having more to do than genuine +popular sentiment with the delightful progress and ending of "There was +a Little Boy and a Little Girl." But the undoubtedly genuine notes are +numerous enough and various enough, from that previously mentioned and +admirable thrift of good King Arthur, or rather of Queen Guinevere (from +whom, according to naughty romancers, we should have less expected it), +to the sound common-sense of "Three Children;" from<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_xii" id="Page_xii">[Pg xii]</a></span> the decorative +convention of "Little Boy Blue" to the arabesque and even grotesque of +"Hey-diddle-diddle."</p> + +<p>But I shall still contend that the main, the pervading, the +characteristic attraction of them lies in their musical accompaniment of +purely senseless sound, in their rhythm, rhyme, jingle, refrain, and the +like, in the simplicity and freshness of their modulated form. For thus +they serve as anthems and doxologies to the goddess whom in this context +it is not satirical to call "<i>Divine</i> Nonsensia," who still in all lands +and times condescends now and then to unbind the burden of meaning from +the backs and brains of men, and lets them rejoice once more in pure, +natural, senseless sound.</p> + +<p class="author"><span class="smcap">George

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +http://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent +permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. +Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at +809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email +business@pglaf.org.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/36685-h/images/367.jpg b/36685-h/images/367.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index

At the date of _Melincourt_, in which this occurs, its even then +admirable author was apt to shoot his arrows rather at a venture; and it +may be hoped, without too much rashness, that he did not mean to speak +disrespectfully of the "sublime strain of immortal genius" itself, but +only of what he thought Wordsworth's corrupt following of that and +similar things. + +Nevertheless, if he had lived a little longer, or if (for he lived quite +long enough) he had been in the mind for such game, he might have found +fresh varieties of it in certain more modern handlings of the same +subject. Since the Brothers Grimm founded modern folklore, it has +required considerable courage to approach nursery songs and nursery +tales in any but a spirit of the severest "scientism," which I presume +to be the proper form for the method of those who call themselves +"scientists." We have not only had investigations--some of them by no +means unfruitful or uninteresting investigations--into certain things +which are, or may be, the originals of these artless compositions in +history or in popular manners. We have not only had some of their queer +verbal jingles twisted back again into what may have been an articulate +and authentic meaning. I do not know that many of them have been made +out to be sun-myths; but that yesterday popular, to-day rather +discredited, system of exposition is very evidently as applicable to +them as to anything else. The older variety of mystical and moral +interpretation having gone out of fashion before they had emerged from +the contempt of the learned, it has not been much applied to them, +though the temptation is great, for, as King Charles observes in +"Woodstock," most things in the world remind one of the tales of Mother +Goose. + +But the most special attentions that nursery rhymes have received have, +perhaps, taken the form of the elaborate and ingenious divisions +attempted by Halliwell and others. Indeed, something of the kind has +been so common that the absence here of anything similar may excite some +surprise, and look like disrespect to a scientific age. The omission, +however, is designed, and a reason or two may be rendered for it. +Halliwell (to take the most generally known instance) has no less than +seventeen compartments in which he stows remorselessly these "things +that are old and pretty," to apply to them a phrase that Lamb loved. +There are, it seems, historical nursery rhymes, literal nursery rhymes; +nursery rhymes narrative, proverbial, scholastic, lyrical, riddlesome; +rhymes dealing with charms, with gaffers and gammers, with games, with +paradoxes, with lullabies, with jingles, with love and matrimony, with +natural (I wish he had called it unnatural) history, with accumulative +stories, with localities, with relics. It may be permitted to cry "Mercy +on us," when one thinks of the poor little wildings, so full of nature +and, if not ignorant of art, of an art so cunningly concealed, being +subjected to the trimmings and torturings of the _Ars Topiaria_ after +this fashion. The division is clearly arbitrary and non-natural; it is +often what logicians very properly object to as a "cross"-division; it +leads to the inclusion of many things which are not properly nursery +rhymes at all; and it necessitates, or at least gives occasion to, a +vast amount of idle talk. For instance, take King Arthur, this way, that +way, which way you please: as a hero of history, as a great central +figure of romance, or even (I grieve to say a learned friend of mine is +wont to speak of him so) as a "West-Welsh thief." Are we called upon in +the very slightest degree to connect any of these Arthurs with the +artist of the bag-pudding? to discuss what was the material that Queen +Guinevere preferred for frying, and to select the most probable +"noblemen" from the Table Round? Does anybody, except as a rather +ponderous joke, care to discuss whether King Cole was really father of +Constantine's mother, and had anything to do with Colchester? Though it +may be admitted that a "Colchester carpet-bag," that is to say, a very +thick steak all but sliced through and stuffed with oysters, would +probably not have been unacceptable to the monarch as a preliminary to +the bowl. + +The simple fact seems to be, that one of Halliwell's +partitions--"jingles"--will do for the whole seventeen, and do a great +deal better than the other sixteen of them. It may be perfectly true +that most of the things indicated in these class-names supplied, in this +case and that, basis for the jingle, starting-points, texts, and so +forth. But all genuine nursery rhymes (even in fragments such as +"Martin Swart and his men, Sodledum [saddle them], sodledum," if it is +genuine, and others where definite history comes in) have never become +nursery rhymes until the historical fact has been practically forgotten +by those who used them, and nothing but the metrical and musical +attraction remains. Some of the alphabet and number rhymes may possibly +(it is sad to have to confess it) have been composed with a deliberate +purpose of instruction; but it is noticeable that these have never +become quite the genuine thing, except in cases such as-- + + "Big A, little a, bouncing B, + The cat's in the cupboard, and she can't see," + +where the subtle tendency to nonsense takes the weak intention of sense +on its back as a fox does a chicken and runs right away with it. Again, +it would be rash to say that it is impossible to make out popular +customs and popular beliefs from these texts. But it is quite certain +that they have for the most part left the customs and the beliefs a long +way behind them, that these things are, to vary the metaphor, merely in +palimpsest relation to the present purport and contents of the rhymes. + +Perhaps, therefore, while not grudging folklorists their perquisitions +in this delightful region, and while acknowledging that there are many +interesting things to be found out by them in it, we may be permitted to +look at nursery rhymes from a rather different point of view. And from +this point it will not, I think, be fanciful to see in them, to a great +extent, the poetical appeal of sound as opposed to that of meaning +expressed in its simplest and most unmistakable terms. We shall find in +these pieces the two special pillars of all modern poetry, alliteration +and rhyme, or at least assonance, which is only rhyme undeveloped. And +we shall find something else, which I venture to call the attraction of +the inarticulate. It is not necessary to take the cynical sense of the +famous saying, that language was given to man to conceal his thoughts, +in order to admit that in moments of more intense and genuine feeling, +if not of thought, he does not as a rule use or at least confine himself +to articulate speech. If the "little language" of mothers to babies be +set down to a supposition that the object addressed does not understand, +that will hardly explain the other "little language" of lovers to +lovers, which has a tendency to be nearly as inarticulate as a +cradle-song, and quite as corruptive of dictionary speech as a nursery +rhyme. In the very stammering of rage there may be thought to be +something more than a simple inability to choose between words; and in +the moaning of sorrow something more than an inability to find suitable +expression. All children--and children, as somebody (I forget who he +was, but he was a wise man) has said, are usually very clever people +till they get spoilt--fall naturally, long after they are quite able to +express themselves as it is called rationally, into a sort of pleasant +gibberish when they are alone and pleased, or even displeased. And I +dare say that a fair number of very considerably grown-up folk, who have +not only come to the legal years of discretion but to the poetical age +of wisdom, do the like now and then. + + "As one walks by oneself, + And talks to oneself," + +by the seaside or on a lonely country road, it must be a not infrequent +experience of most people that one frequently falls into pure jingle and +nonsense-verse of the nursery kind. In fact, it must have happened to +more people than one, or one thousand, by the malice of a sudden corner +or the like, to have been caught doing so to their great confusion, and +to the comfortable conviction of the other party that he has met with +an escaped lunatic. + +I should myself, though I may not carry many people with me, go farther +than this and say that this "attraction of the inarticulate," this +allurement of mere sound and sequence, has a great deal more to do than +is generally thought with the charm of the very highest poetry, and that +no merely valuable thought presented without this accompaniment can +possibly affect us as it does when it summons to its aid such concert of +vowels and consonants as-- + + "Peace! peace! + Dost thou not see my baby at my breast + That sucks the nurse asleep?" + +or as-- + + "Quaerens me sedisti lassus, + Redemisti crucem passus; + Tantus labor non sit cassus!" + +In the best nursery rhymes, as in the simpler and more genuine ballads +which have so close a connection with them, we find this attraction of +the inarticulate--this charm of pure sound, this utilising of +alliteration and rhyme and assonance, and the cunning juxtaposition now +of similar, now of contrary vowels--not in a passionate, but in a frank +and simple form. Many of them probably, some of them certainly, had, as +has been said, a definite meaning once, and we may attend to the +folklorist as he expounds what it was or may have been; but for the most +part they have very victoriously got the better of that meaning, have +bid it, in their own lingo, "go to Spain," without the slightest +meditation or back-thought whether Spain is the proper place for it or +not. In that particular _locus classicus_ "Spain" rhymes to "rain," and +that is not merely the chief and principal, but the absolutely +all-sufficient thing. So, too, there is no doubt a most learned +explanation of the jargon (variously given and spelt)-- + + "Hotum-potum, paradise tantum, perry-merry-dictum, domaree," + +at which a friend of mine used to laugh consumedly, declaring that this +cavalier coupling of "paradise _tantum_" "_only_ paradise," was the +nicest thing he knew. But the people who mellowed it into that form, and +recited it afterwards, never cared one scrap for the meaning. They had +got it into a pleasant jingle of vowels, a desirable sequence of +consonants, and a good swing of cadence, and that was enough. When +"Curlylocks" is invited to be "mine" by the promise "thou shalt sew a +fine seam," does anybody suppose that this housewifely operation was +much more (it may have been a little more) of a bait to the Curlylocks +of those days than to the Curlylocks of these? Not at all. "Sew" and +"seam" went naturally together, they made a pleasing alliteration, and +the latter word rhymed to "cream," of which the Curlylocks of all days +has been not unusually fond. + +Not, of course, that there is not much wit and much wisdom, much +picturesqueness and not a little pathos in our rhymes. All good men have +justly admired these qualities in "Sing a Song of Sixpence" and +"Ding-dong Bell," in "Margery Daw" and "Who Killed Cock Robin?" I rather +suspect the wicked literary man of having more to do than genuine +popular sentiment with the delightful progress and ending of "There was +a Little Boy and a Little Girl." But the undoubtedly genuine notes are +numerous enough and various enough, from that previously mentioned and +admirable thrift of good King Arthur, or rather of Queen Guinevere (from +whom, according to naughty romancers, we should have less expected it), +to the sound common-sense of "Three Children;" from the decorative +convention of "Little Boy Blue" to the arabesque and even grotesque of +"Hey-diddle-diddle." + +But I shall still contend that the main, the pervading, the +characteristic attraction of them lies in their musical accompaniment of +purely senseless sound, in their rhythm, rhyme, jingle, refrain, and the +like, in the simplicity and freshness of their modulated form. For thus +they serve as anthems and doxologies to the goddess whom in this context +it is not satirical to call "_Divine_ Nonsensia," who still in all lands +and times condescends now and then to unbind the burden of meaning from +the backs and brains of men, and lets them rejoice once more in pure, +natural, senseless sound. + + GEORGE SAINTSBURY. + + + + + [Illustration: INDEX TO FIRST LINES] + + + A carrion crow sat on an oak + + A diller, a dollar + + A farmer went trotting upon his grey mare + + A frog he would a-wooing go + + A gentleman of good account + + A little cock sparrow sat on a green tree + + A long-tailed pig, and a short-tailed pig + + A man of words and not of deeds + + An apple pie, when it looks nice + + A nick and a nock + + An old woman was sweeping her house + + A pie sate on a pear-tree + + Around the green gravel the grass grows green + + As I walked by myself + + As I was a-going by a little pig-sty + + As I was going o'er Westminster Bridge + + As I was going to sell my eggs + + As I was going to St. Ives + + As I was going up Pippen Hill + + As little Jenny Wren + + As soft as silk, as white as milk + + A swarm of bees in May + + A was an apple-pie + + A was an archer, and shot at a frog + + Baa, baa, black sheep + + Barber, barber, shave a pig + + Bat, bat + + Bessy Bell and Mary Gray + + Billy, Billy, come and play + + Bless you, bless you, burny-bee + + Blow, wind, blow! and go, mill, go + + Bobby Shaftoe's gone to sea + + Bow, wow, says the dog + + Bryan O'Lin, and his wife, and wife's mother + + Bryan O'Lin had no breeches to wear + + Buttons a farthing a pair + + Bye, baby bunting + + Charley, Charley, stole the barley + + Cherries are ripe + + Cock a doodle doo + + Cold and raw the north wind doth blow + + Come, let's to bed + + Come, take up your hats, and away let us haste + + "Croak!" said the toad, "I'm hungry, I think" + + Cross patch + + Curly locks! curly locks! wilt thou be mine?

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment.

Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses.

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone.

Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/36685.zip b/36685.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..44104df --- /dev/null +++ b/36685.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
