Francis Sparshott is a professor of ethics and the author of a
remarkable book on aesthetics. His first collection of verse, which
will fulfil the expectations of all who have been attracted to his
poetry in the literary quartiles, is given distinction and a unique
flavour by combining a philosopher's perceptiveness and detachment
with the gusto and romanticism of a man who is devoted to the
ordinary, homely experiences of life. The whole collection is
pervaded by his wit, which is distilled in some excellent light
verse and becomes truly comic in 'Lines for a Future Astronaut' and
'Song of Rolland', and by poetic ingenuity and arresting images.
His command of formal thinking is reflected in his elegance of
poetic form and in the profound ideas contained in some
metaphysical poems, of which the long, important concluding poem is
one.
