Clear and Lively
ARAH CAMPION’S My Cambridge brought the shouting and the turmoil of another day almost to the living ear, As it happened, I had been reading the Rupert Brooke memoir when the first 3YC talk touched on a slight encounter the young girl (as the speaker then was) had. with the poet. It rather fitted in with the general picture I had formed, for though Sarah Campion was neither greatly taken with him nor now highly rates his verse, she has never forgotten the incident. Like an Arthurian figure projected straight into the early 1900s, Rupert Brooke can hardly be blamed for being bound securely within his own myth. He and his poetry were so much at one that even if he had had the time left him or the..energy to break out into a more substantial self he would have had much the same trouble as the boy soprano who becomes a baritone. This is by the way, however, in a view of Cambridge and her daughters which was as clearly and lively as it was lacking in sentiment-
ality.
