It takes a. little ti n1c to get our b car ings; e vcn the physical setting ren1ain s ob- sc_ure until ,ve realize that the ijack-ham1ncr~ of the first line is the 1Black Rock' of the title., ,vhich co the poetic vision appe2rs to he sn1ashing at the oncoming v.7aves.

The 'colloqu)7 , of the title is bet\Ycen the poet and his heart, in the sarne sense that Shakespeare,s sonnet 'Poor soul, the centre of my si11- f ul earth' j5 a dialogue. 'Heart' is used an1higuously, in every stanza, to refer to both the physical organ :ind the soul. On the physical level~ the 2cceleration of the heartbeat has the ironic effect of speeding up t l 1e h io 1o gic al processes u n t ii they b ccon1c ca tabo Iic, and 'a 11 discussions end jn . . . dcath4, Conversely~ ho,\,.ever, as the physical heart loses its vitality~ the soul benefits from this quickening, as it prepares for the reception of the Holy Spirit. The religious idea is si1nilar to the paradox in llomans vL 3-4: Kno,v ye nott that so many of us as ,vcrc baptized into Jesus Christ ,vere baptized into his death?

Vie,ved in this \Vay,the central theme of the poem js unexpectedly orthodox. It is an anthc1n celebrating the miracle of the Eucharist, cx- prcssed in tern1s of a pcrs onal a\Ya rcn css of D j vine I 1n1n a ncn c e sym .. bolized by the I?cast of Corpus Christi. The doctrine here is the faruiliar Chrjstian cn1phasison the corruptibility of the flesh and the possibility of sahTationthrough the mortal agony of the Crucifixion1 a theme ex- plored j n countless scrn1ons and reJigious 1yrics.

As jf to impose order upon these images of frenzied~ uncontrolled dissolution, J.Jo,vellhas organized his poen1 into a tight~ almost sy1n- n1errjcalpattern of scstcts and qua.trainsof iambic pentameter; ,vith the quatrains jn each case serving ns antiphons.

The addition to the title n1akc.spossible a nun1ber of crucial infer~ ences about the geographical and chronological background of the

poem. Black Rock is a section of Bridgeport, Connccticut1 and it is so named because of a geological formation that juts out into Long lslan d Sound. Bridgeport has a large Hungarian population, 1nany of ,vhon1 ,vorship at St Stephen's Roman Catholic Church, ,vhich is 1o- . catcd a n1ilc or so fron1 the Black Rock district. lt js a national parish, nan1cd for the patron saint of Hungary. From the vicinity of the church it is possible to look across the black mud flats, ,vhich are used as a 1nunicip~ldump, to the sn1all harbor and Black Rock peninsula bcyon d. Nearby is the giant Sikorsky helicopter plant. Services at St Stephen's are held in I.Jungarian, and on the Sunday follo,ving Cor- pus Christi Day the feast is celebrated by a special procession and mass.

(This identification is in agrecn1ent,,·ith the industrial i111agcry of the first stanza of the poen1~ and is further streugthened by the fact that in th c S e-wa.11ee version the , vor km cn are 1110re sp ecifi cally desig natcd as '1ncchanics, and that they appear in the third, Poen1s, version as cn1achinists.') If this jnrerprctation is correctl the Jines take on an added significance in relation to the larger thematic fran1e\\rork. That is, th c fashi oncrs of dcstn1 cti v e , vca pons re seen try j n g to re deem their negative efforts through a positive act of_ hun1anitarjan sacrifice~ This is in harn1ony \vith the n1ajor irony of the poen1: the 1n- sistencc on the death of matter and the life of the spirit. Further., ,,re n1a.ysee holv Lo,vell, in d\ve]Jing on his theme, has uti]ized the a,n- biguity· in the nanlc of St Stephen to exten~ his reference from the I-Iu n gar ian hero to St Stepl1 en Proto 1narty r, the first to imitate Christ in the sacrifice of the body. Thus Lo,vcil is able to con1plctc the sacred sy·mbology inherent in the Feast of Corpus Christi: it is only in reference to the. Eucharjst that Jines 19-2. r may he understood. A less secure speculation js that the· exotic character of the cerc- 1nony, together ,vith the na1ne of the Hungarian leader, n1ay have suggested the splendor of the Holy llon1an Empire, of ,vhich Hungary \Vas ~t least 1101ninallya part, and hence the epithet 'St11porAfttndi/ traditionu11y that of Frederic.:k TL Tn any case, the phrase provid~s Lolvcll ,vith a fitting title ( 'the astonishn1ent of the ,vorld') for Christ., yet retains the connotations of the Eng]ish ,vord 'stupor ..'

One cffcct of the changes in lines 7., 15., 16, and J 7 is to reinforce the nodon that the quatrains arc intended to serve the function of an anti- phonal refrain. That is to say, the initial ]inc of the first quatrain is n.ov{joined, through the assonantal rcpetttion of 'slurnp, nnd dun1ps,' ,vith the 'trun1pct~ of the first Jine of the second; ,vhcrcas the initial Jines of the quatrains ha,,..ca different tone in the other versions.

It remains only to say·that ,vhat is true for this exan1pleof Lo\vell's verse is tru c for rnany- others. 1n general, the degree of alteration in the sncccssive versions varies directly , vi th the re] a.tive difficulty· of the original poen1. A particularly interesting ex21nplc of revision is to be found in the series of poems that are fin ally en titled In 1c mof) 7 of Arthur '''inslo,v,' Here it is possib]e to trace the entire course of the development of a poetic idea as it gro\vs fron1 its nucleus in the Kenyon. Review (\~.Tinter 1939) to its expansion in the Sewa11eel~eview (July 194 3 ) , through the Laud of U ulikeness version of 1 944 to its (pre- sumably) £nal fom1 in ~ord l}Teary'sCastfe of r946. Again, the fact that Lo,vell altcrcd j n varying degrees nearly one third of the 591 Jines of the original version of the Aiillr of the Kavanaughshct\vccn jrs appearance in the J(enyon Review (Winter r 95 r) and the version found in the book of that title suggests the need for a collation in order to get at the n1caning of that rather difficult pocn1. Ir is hoped that the appended bibliography ,vi]l serve to call attent1on to the ,vhole canon of Lo,vell's extant poetry.,and that it \YiHstimulate and facilitate the kind of close reading that it manifestly-deserves.
