John Hunter Duvar.

Tue Examiner referred, 4 few weeks aav, toa likeness in the Dominion LIllus- ‘trated of Mr. Hunter Duvar, our accorm- plished poet. The picture was set in an atmosphere so hazy that it was uot fairly representative of either Mr. Duvar’s physi- cal features or literary style—both of which are clear cut. Better justice is done Mr. Duvar in a copy of the Dominion ‘Illustrated, subsequently received. We jhave now much pteasure in quoting the ‘biographical and critical notice by which the illustration is accompanied :—

| The first thought that strikes the reader

of Hunter Duvar’s poetry is that, aside ‘from its merits or demerits, here is a true ‘Canadian, 1 man imbued with the national ‘iustinct and aspirations of a Canadian. Working as a Canadian poet, to attain any eminence, one must always, or at any rate for the present, work ou lines distinctively Canadian. Our friends at the south—the American humorists—whenever they have .risen to real success, have held severely to the same principle. In accordance with ‘this principle, the poet lays the plot of his ‘most important work in Canada.

John Hunter Duvar, the Bard of Herne- ‘wood, as he is called, was born on the 29th ,of August, 1830. He resided for a number of years in Halifax, N.S., whence he re- ‘moved to Hernewood, his present place of ‘residence, in Alberton, P. E. I. He re- ‘ceived a good education in Scotland, being as a student very fond of the classics and an eager reader of literature, the older English, French, Italian and Spanish being his familiar friends,

As is the experience of so many students, Mr. Duvar found several branches of study which he disliked intensely. Philological study is one of his especial aversions ; he prefers ‘** The Wisdom of the Ancients,” without Lord Bacon’s explanation; he never saw much fun in Euclid’s etchings, but prefers Du Maurier’s ; and the starch of the verse of the era of Queen Anne is so intolerable to him that he says, ‘‘ I am giad that she is dead.”

Mr. Duvar did not become a writer in malice prepense, but drifted into that metier almost unconsciously; he has looked upon it more as an amusement than an art. His mind is Gothic—flamboyant Gothic—and his works show a strong tinge of medizval-

lism in his taste. In some of his works we

aptness of imagery, is very charming. As dramatist he is of no little power. He gives to his chief characters many contradictory qualities, which, as Macaulay says, is one of the chief aims of a dramatist. His shorter lyrics possess in an eminent degree those qualities which adapt them for song.

In 1879, ‘“‘ El Enamorado,” a closet drama of the Spanish school, was publish- ed. There is a certain familiarity of ad- dress noticeable in this, which at times seems scarcely appropriate; but what strikes one forcibly is the evident influence of the Shakesparian drama upon the genius of the author. Throughout the drama we find in- stances of this in scene, speech or trait of character. It is but natural ; for any man who has *‘ soaked” in Shakespeare, cannot fail to show traces of the Great Master in his work.

** See the gates Are swinging on the hinges of the east, And out there wells the flush of morning-red That heralding the coming of the sun, Encarnadines our lovely ladies’ cheeks Making them living roses.”

This reminds one forcibly of a somewhat similar passage in ‘* Hamlet.”

‘*But look, the morn, in russet mantle clad, Walks o’er the dew of yon high eastern hill,”

In 1888 was published what is of more interest to us,and has gained for Mr. Duvar more notice than the foregoing. This is ‘*De- Roberval,” a Canadian drama, the time of the scene being the first coloniza- tion of Canada by the French. The traces of Shakespeare’s influence, though by no means absent, are not so strong in this drama as in ‘‘ E] Enamorado.” It contains many passages of beautiful description. Mr. Duvar, while he may loiter somewhat upon a scene which has taken his fancy, yet does not enter too closely into these minute details, which so often make a writer wearisome ; for the proverb of old Hesiod that ‘‘ Half is often greater than the whole,” is eminently applicable to description. It would not be easy to find a more powerful piece of description than the passage in which the poet depicts that wonder of ours—Niagara. Here are a few lines from it :—

** Above the flume

And all along the stately rocking shore

The aged forests that, like sentinels

With their gaunt shadows dim and tenebrous

Shut in the world’s wonder, echo it,

While leagues away, through all the sylvan shades,

Out borne by the vibrating earth and air,

The cause unseen, the deep toned murmur sounds

Like rolling of the Almighty chariot wheels.”

‘* The sprays,

In spiral smoke-wreaths, rise in shifting forms, More than the incense of a thousand fanes, Until they mingle viewless with the clouds, While, as reminder of the promise made— Water should not again destroy the world, Rainbow tiaras span the dreadful fall, And ei them flash the flung up water

rops, Making a rain of rainbows.”

Of different style, but none the less striking, is the following, a sweet and cap- tivating little madrigal. It is a true gem:

VOL. 26.-NO. 92

The raipv is dripping from the leads, Cold, cold and dreary, And the summer flowers in the gar- den beds All hang their heads aweary, Winter is coming on amain,— Shall we ever see those days again When one heart beat between us twain, Ever?

Answer. Never.

‘* Ever” is « long, long time, But not so long as ‘* Never,”

For the vows we mede in our sum mer prime

Were to last for ever and ever,

But they have not worn a year and a day ;

Alas their memory ! will it stay

How long time? nor pass never away,

Question.

Never ?

Answer. Ever, for ever.

In **The Emigration of the Fairies,” « lively and fanciful poem, which appeared in 1888 along with ** De Roberval,” is pic- tured the poet’s home, Hernewood, and a detachment of English fairies domiciled there. ‘* Ptolemy on the Nile,” which ap- peared in Tae Domryion ILLosrratep, December 15th, is one of the finest poems written by Hanter Duvar. To quote the words of the editor of the paper, ** It would be hard to find a mvre skillful piece of work- manship than this picture of the Bard of Hernewood.”

‘* The Triumph of Constancy” is a poem of some six hundred lines, written in blank verse. Itshows most strongly the medizval taste of the author. The following, apart from its being an excellent piece of descrip- tion, is an example of the quaint diction of the poem :

‘** Ere long tue dell grew wild and many-coved Taking the features of a mountain glen, Down which the brook, ne more a mirror

flowed,

But leaped and fretted in the cloven rifts,

Making a sullen murmur "mong the stones,

Which, as he followed up towards its source,

1t led him to a hill of difficulty

All nomad and riven, with land-slips and

ens

Where stunted pines hung grasping with

their roots,

And plats of quaking bog beset the way,

Where the black newts swam wriggling,

and the efts,

Among the bulrush spears sat upand stared.”

Mr. Duvar has just completed a work which is undergoing revision. It is ‘*Ber- nesque,” in Ottava Rima, unlike anything that has been written in Canadian iitera- ture. Its name is Atlantis. A man of that country—namely, that part of Atiantis call- ed Canada, wishes for a familiar spirit. His wish is granted in the shspe of an effrete, Count Perdu, who proceeds to lead him through the range of the seven deadly sins. This will probably appear in the course of the year, and will no doubt be a valuable contribution to our literature.

Mr. Duvar has had no small share in building up the literature of Canada. He has gone about it in the right manner, for the surest way to raise our literature to the height which every patriot would see it oc- cupy, is to make it thoroughly distinctive.
