Rupert Brooke. Day long and watch the Cambridge sky, And, flower -lulled in sleepy grass , Hear the cool lapse of hours pass , Until the centuries blend and blur In Grantchester , in Grantchester . . . . Still in the dawnlit waters cool His ghostly Lordship swims his pool, And tries the strokes , essays the tricks, Long learnt on Hellespont, or Styx ; Dan Chaucer hears his river still Chatter beneath a phantom mill ; Tennyson notes , with studious eye, How Cambridge waters hurry by . . . And in that garden , black and white , Creep whispers thr…

Esmé Wingfield -Stratford . *CAMBRIDGE UP TO DATE. LITTLE don Perkins , L Social psychologist, Proved after hall To old Dowbiggin ( Master of Arts and Doctor of Science ) That time and space and matter and motion ( In short , God 's universe ) Were just a machine of one , two , three , Known unto Perkins Revealed to Dowbiggin . While over the court , the naked universe Arched with its laughter of a million suns , And every orb , out of the sea Of that unfathomable night blue , Sang - Gloria in excelsis deo ! While little don Perkins Played doub…
…t you are here where skies are grey , And shivering trees are bleak and brown , And field and fen stretch far away , Mile on mile , from Cambridge town . They ' ve made a road from me to you , And lit their lamp - posts all along ; And there is nothing left to do But sing my ineffectual song . 178
GERALD H . S. PINSENT . THE ORGAN IN KING 'S CHAPEL , CAMBRIDGE . THEN silence , and the veil of light is raised And darkness seen behind. Now softly sound The Angels ' herald -trumpets , calling round Thunders and mighty winds and powers amazed . Now laden with the spirit of man 's hand There bursts an awful clarion -shout , and brings Strange whispering and rushing of strange wings Battling , and furtive secrets of command . Down from the height and up from the abyss Are swept dominion , power, angel, throne , For unimaginable ends, and hiss …
ALEISTER CROWLEY . IN NEVILLE 'S COURT , TRINITY COLLEGE , CAMBRIDGE . THINK the souls of many men are here Among these cloisters , underneath the spire That the moon silvers with magnetic fire ; But not a moon -ray is it, that so clear Shines on the pavement ; for a voice of fear It hath , unless it be the breeze that mocks My ear, and waves his old majestic locks About his head . There fell upon my ear ; “ O soul contemplative of distant things , Who hast a poet 's heart , even if thy pen Be dry and barren , who dost hold love dear , Speed fo…

G . LEATHEM . A FELLOW OF ST. JOHN 'S ON THE BEAUTY OF MATHEMATICS. (From the “ Don ''). " CAMBRIDGE indeed is beautiful,” he said, “ And only those who live here all their lives Passing their days in quiet harmony With the old walls , can know its charm to the full . And is it chance that mathematics here Has found its chiefest home ? From Newton down , Our greatest have preferred old x and y To the haunting music of Euripedes . Who live mid beauty , still must beauty seek . And Mathematics just for beauty 's sake We follow ." " Come , you sur…

Rupert Brooke. For England 's the one land I know , Where Men with Splendid Hearts may go ; And Cambridgeshire , of all England , The shire for Men who Understand ; And of that district I prefer The lovely hamlet , Grantchester . For Cambridge people rarely smile , Being urban , squat , and packed with guile ; And Royston men in the far south Are black and fierce and strange of mouth ; At Over they fling oaths at one , And worse than oaths at Trumpington ; And Ditton girls are mean and dirty , And there 's none in Harston under thirty , And fol…
…itself from one who lacks understanding of poetry and how usefully the attempt to write it enlarges that understanding. In this efficacy Cambridge , at any rate, has always trusted ; and the following pages prove , and prove amply , that she remains loyalas ever to the belief . Critics —middle aged critics especially — will find much amiss with them ; and the fault as usual will lie with Time at least as much as with Thyrsis , with the critic 's years as with the singer 's lack of them : Our feelings lose poetic flow Soon after thirty years or …
