memories of the lands where one has lived, of the books one has
cherished, of the women one has loved, brings with it a strange sense of
the incomprehensible promptings of caprice.
With the fluctuations of mood, Musset seems puerile or passionate;
Amiel, lachrymose or exquisitely perceptive; Baudelaire, _macabre_ or
impassively statuesque; Pater, tortuous or infinitely dexterous;
Meredith, irksome or gorgeously prismatic.
There are women whom we worshipped years ago, who would certainly fail
to move us to-day; books that enthralled us in our childhood, which we
hesitate to open again; places we had read of with delight, and for that
reason shrink from surveying.
* * * * *
And so to-night, beneath the lime-tree, by the dog-rose hedge, whilst
the grasshoppers scrape their ceaseless chorus, and the flies roam like
specks of gold, and the fawn-coloured cattle stalk home from the
pastures, I wonder dreamily how I have come to love so steadfastly the
whole wayward grace of this country-side—the melancholy of its wide
plains, burnt to dun colour by the Southern sun; the desolate silence of
those dark, endless pine forests that lie beyond; the hesitating
contours of wooded slopes; the distant Pyrenees, a long, ragged,
snow-capped wall; the dazzling-white roads, stretching between their
tall, slim poplars, straight towards the horizon; the tumble-down,
white-faced villages, huddled on the hilltops; their battered, sloping
roofs, tilted all awry, like loose-fitting, peaked caps of faded-red
tiles; the farmyards, strewn with dingy ox-bedding, and littered with a
decrepit multitude of objects, which, it seems, can never have been
new—broken earthenware pots, rickety, rush-bottomed chairs, stacks of
dead branches, still rustling their brown, winter leaves; the slow-paced
oxen ploughing the land; the peasants, men, women, and children, swaying
in line as they sow the maize, with the poultry pecking behind; the
jangling bells of the dilapidated, yellow-wheeled courier; the
market-days, the sea of blue _bérets_, the press of blue blouses, the
incoherent waving of ox-goads, the bristling of curved horns, the
shifting mass of sleek, fawn-coloured backs; the narrow, ramshackle
streets of the town; the line of plane-trees on the _place d’armes_,
beneath which groups of grave _bourgeois_ are for ever pacing; and the
Gave, spurting over the rocks, under the old Norman bridge....
* * * * *
The sun slips behind a bank of inky cloud, slowly trailing its
pale-green stain, and the old, penetrating charm of this tiny corner of
the earth returns, and the old longing to bind myself to it, to have my
place in its life, always, through the years to come....
* * * * *
The oxen have gone their way along the road; the lengthy twilight
shadows steal across the garden; from the church-spire up on the hill
the Angelus rings out; quite near at hand a tree-frog starts piping his
shrill, clear note, and the cockchafers their angry whirling; and then,
of a sudden, the violet night has fallen, wrapping all earth and sky in
her mysterious, impenetrable blackness....
* * * * *
[Sidenote: ENFANTILLAGE
April 23]
Have you never longed to wander there, in that wonderful cloudland
beyond the sea, where, like droves of monstrous cattle, close-huddled
and drowsy, they lie the day through—the comely, milk-white summer
clouds, slow and sleek and swelling; the quick-scudding darkling clouds,
tattered with travelling across the sky; the mighty thunder-clouds,
violet and lowering; the flocks of fluffy-white baby clouds; and all the
sun’s great gaudy guard, from the daintily gilded sunset spars to the
blood-red bands that frequent the South?
Sometimes, at even-fall, when the sea lies calm in her opal tints, you
may discern the distant lines of their strange, fantastic home, vague,
phantasmagoric, like a mirage beyond the horizon.
Perhaps, after death, we may linger there, and watch them silently sail
away towards the lands we have loved long ago!...
