PHILIP See also:BOURKE (1850-1887) , See also:English poet, was See also:born in See also:London on the 13th of See also:August 185o. His See also:father, See also:JoHN WESTLAND MARSTON (1819-1890), of See also:Lincolnshire origin, the friend of See also:Dickens, See also:Macready and See also:Charles See also:Kean, was the author of a See also:series of metrical dramas which held the See also:stage in See also:succession to the ambitious efforts of John See also:Tobin, See also:Talfourd, Bulwer and See also:Sheridan See also:Knowles. . His See also:chief plays were The Patrician's Daughter (1841), Strathmore (1849), A Hard Struggle (1858) and Donna See also:Diana (1863). He was looked up to as the upholder of the outworn tradition of the acted poetic See also:drama, but his plays showed little vitality, and MVIarston's reviews for the See also:Athenaeum, including one of See also:Swinburne's See also:Atalanta in See also:Calydon, and his dramatic criticisms embodied in Our See also:Recent Actors (1888) will probably claim a more enduring reputation. His Dramatic and Poetical See also:Works were collected in 1876. The son, Philip Bourke, was born in a See also:literary See also:atmosphere. His sponsors were Philip See also:- JAMES

At his father's See also:house near See also:Chalk See also:Farm he met authors and actors of his father's See also:generation, and subsequently the Rossettis, Swinburne, See also:Arthur O'Shaughnessy and See also:Irving. From his earliest years his literary precocity was overshadowed by misfortunes. In his See also:fourth See also:year, in See also:part owing to an See also:accident, his sight began to decay, and he gradually became almost totally See also:blind. His See also:mother died in 1870. His fiancee, See also:Mary Nesbit, died in 1871; his closest friend, See also:Oliver Madox See also:- BROWN

Brown, in 1874; his See also:sister See also:Cicely, his See also:amanuensis, in 1878; in 1879 his remaining sister, Eleanor, who was followed to the See also:grave after a brief See also:interval by her See also:husband, the poet O'Shaughnessy, and her two See also:children. In 1882 the See also:death of his chief poetic ally and inspirer, See also:Rossetti, was followed closely by the tragedy of another kindred spirit, the sympathetic pessimist, James See also:Thomson (" B. V."), who was carried dying from his blind friend's rooms, where he had sought See also:refuge from his latest miseries See also:early in See also:June of the same year. It is said that Marston came to dread making new friendships, for fear of evil coming to the recipients of his See also:affection. In the See also:face of such calamities it is not surprising that Marston's See also:verse became more and more sorrowful and See also:melancholy. The idylls of See also:flower-See also:life, such as the early and very beautiful " The See also:Rose and the See also:Wind " were succeeded by dreams of See also:sleep and the repose of death. These qualities and gradations of feeling, reflecting the poet's successive ideals of See also:action and quiescence, are traceable through his three published collections, Songtide (1871), All in All (18i5) and Wind Voices (1883). The first and third, containing his best See also:work, went out of See also:print, but Marston's verse was collected in 1892 by Mrs See also:Louise See also:Chandler See also:Moulton, a loyal and devoted friend, and herself a poet. Marston read little else but See also:poetry; and of poetic values, especially of the intenser See also:- ORDER

order, his See also:judgment could not be surpassed in sensitiveness. He was saturated with Rossetti and Swinburne, and his imitative See also:power was remarkable. In his later years he endeavoured to make See also:money by See also:writing See also:short stories in See also:Home Chimes and other See also:American magazines, through the agency of Mrs Chandler Moulton. His popularity in See also:America far exceeded that in his own See also:country. His See also:health showed signs of collapse from 1883; in See also:January 1887 he lost his See also:voice, and suffered intensely from the failure to make himself understood. He died on the 13th of See also:February 1887.
He was commemorated in Dr See also:Gordon See also:Hake's " Blind Boy," and in a See also:fine See also:sonnet by Swinburne, beginning " The days of a See also:man are threescore years and ten." There is an intimate See also:sketch of the blind poet by a friend, Mr Coulson Kernahan, in Sorrow and See also:Song (1894), p. 127. (T.
