THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour. -

SONGS NICHOLA.S MEDT'ne,R Henry S,, Drinker
for the SONGS o.£ NICHOLA.S MEDT'NE,R by Henry s,, Drinker NICHOLAS ·MEDT'NER By Alfred J. Swan· (Written by Professor Swan for the recital of Medtner's songs by Mme. Maria Kurenko and Paule Bailly at the Juilliard School on April 24, 1946) Nicholas Medtner was born in Moscow in January 1880. He tame from one of those Baltic families long settled in Central. Russia for purposes of· trade or business. Nothing seemed to predestine him to become a composer. Yet at the age of 12 music was already so living a force in his life that his parents transferred him from a regular Gymnasium to the famous Conservatory then directed by Safonoff. There was nothing spectacular about his musical endow ment, but step by step he proceeded to master the musical language, for he had definitely chosen it as a medium for the expression of his as yet undeveloped thoughts and emotions. After long years of hard work he graduated from Safonoff's class in piano. In presenting the customary medals and distinctions Safonoff turned to him say ing: "And to you I would give the ,diamond medal, but unfortunately this insti,. tution's highest award is only a gold medal." Safonoff inaugurated a concert tour for him abroad and insisted that he play everywhere the Hammerclavier Sonata of Beethoven. But he went only reluctantly, for he now wanted to de vote himself entirely to composition. Whether it· was now· that he became a pupil of Taneieff in counterpoint, or had studied. with him while learning the piano with Safonoff, is not quite clear. -
