While commentators generally view this intriguing conflation between night and daylight as the source of an unfathomable mystery, I would suggest another possible in- terpretation that could be applied to the field of comparative literature by metaphorical extension. Should one choose to place emphasis on the sun- lit sky, this painting could also be read as a veiled allusion to the positive potentialities of art, literature, and imagination, broadly speaking. Viewed from this perspective, the painting thus transcends its initial contradictions in order to suggest various forms of epiphanic visions. By firmly locating the journal’s logo in the bright sky, the imaginative power of comparative literature is foregrounded. Indeed, the ability of our field to open up new avenues of thought, thus enlarging our understanding of the world, tran- spires from

Meryon's views of old Paris helped focus attention on the rapidly changing city during its renovation into the first great modern capital.

  • CHARLES MERYON Papers, 1818-92 Reel M595
    AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT CHARLES MERYON Papers, 1818-92 Reel M595 The British Library Great Russell Street London WC1B 3DG National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1965 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Charles Meryon (1821-1868) was born in Paris, the illegitimate son of Charles Lewis Meryon (1783- 1877), an English doctor, traveller and author, and Pierre-Narcisse Chapoux (1793-1838), a dancer at the Paris Opera. His half-sister was Fanny Lowther (1818-1890), who eventually married Henry Broadwood and lived in England. Meryon was brought up by his mother and educated at Paris and Marseilles. Narcisse Chapoux died in 1838, by which time Meryon had entered the Naval School at Brest. He subsequently served in the Mediterranean on the ships Alger, Montebello and Inflexible. In 1842 he joined the corvette Le Rhin on its voyage round the world. In January 1843 the ship reached Akarao, the small French settlement in New Zealand, where it spent lengthy periods during the next two years. Visits were also made to Auckland, Wellington, the Bay of Islands, Valparaiso, the Marquesas, Tahiti, Wallis Island, the Gilbert Islands and New Caledonia. In New Zealand Meryon made a number of drawings of coastal scenery, landscapes, natural history, canoes and Maori profiles. Le Rhin also called at Hobart on its way to New Zealand and twice visited Sydney, where Meryon made a drawing of a pet dingo, a portrait of an Aborigine, and a view of Sydney Harbour. Some of the drawings were later to be the subject of etchings. In 1846, following his return to France, Meryon resigned from the Navy and announced his intention of becoming a professional artist.

  • Frank Sargeson [Norris Frank Davey], 1903 – 1982
    157 Frank Sargeson [Norris Frank Davey], 1903 – 1982 Lawrence Jones ‘It is not often a writer can be said to have become a symbol in his own lifetime. It is this quality of your achievement that has prompted us to remember this present occasion’. So Frank Sargeson’s fellow New Zealand fiction-writers ended ‘A Letter to Frank Sargeson’, published in Landfall in March 1953 to mark his fiftieth birthday. They were affirming his status as the most significant writer of prose fiction to emerge from that generation that began in the 1930s to create a modern New Zealand Literature. They were celebrating him first as the creator of the New Zealand critical realist short story and short novel, the writer who provided the literary model with which most of those signing the letter had started. But they were also celebrating him as a symbol and a model not only for what he wrote but for where and how he wrote it. In the editorial ‘Notes’ to that same issue of Landfall Charles Brasch stated of Sargeson that ‘by his courage and his gifts he showed that it was possible to be a writer and contrive to live, somehow, in New Zealand, and all later writers are in his debt’. Not only did he show by his example that it was possible to be a serious New Zealand writer without becoming an expatriate, but as mentor and encourager he fostered the careers of a whole generation of fiction writers. At least two of those who signed the letter (Janet Frame and Maurice Duggan) had even lived or were to live in the army hut behind his cottage for a time when they needed the place of refuge and the encouragement, Duggan in 1950 and again in 1958, Frame in 1955-1956.

Sherwin La Galerie Notre Dame, Paris, is one of several views Meryon created depicting Notre Dame de Paris. Meryon was an admirer of the writings of Edgar Allan Poe and it is from Poe’s poem “The Raven” (1845) that the artist takes the motif of the raven for this work. Meryon picks the vantage point of the interior of the gallery in Notre Dame looking out. The interior space is closed-in yet perforated, and the black birds add a certain malevolent presence. Victor Hugo’s novel, Notre Dame de Paris (1831), published in English as The Hunchback o f Notre Dame, renewed interest in Paris’s Gothic Cathedral.
