EARLY DAYS AT SCHOOL AND COLLEGE Lines of Marvell’s poetry have secured the final honours, and incurred the peril, of becoming “familiar quotations” ready for use on a great variety of occasion. We may, perhaps, have been bidden once or twice too often to remember how the Royal actor “Nothing common did, or mean, Upon that memorable scene,” or have been assured to our surprise by some self-satisfied worldling how he always hears at his back, “Time’s wingèd chariot hurrying near.” A true poet can, however, never be defiled by the rough usage of the populace. Birds, fruits and flowers, woods, gardens, meads, and rivers still make the poet’s birthplace lovely
