| Zusammenfassung: | Sir Geoffrey Hill, long hailed as Britain's greatest living poet, was devoted to remembering the deceased, those forgotten in the debased din of mass culturesome of them worthy of our emulation, others edifying by their folly or criminality (Paris Review interview). Hill's recent death, on 30 June 2016, presents an apt time to remember his own life-work. In its act of memorial as homage, The Mystery of the Charity of Charles Péguy marks a departure for Hill: whereas his earlier work often rests in ambiguity, Péguy labors through the ambiguitythrough characteristically antiphonal tones of voice, rhythms, and imagesand concludes in affirmation, a note of hope, which points in the direction of some of his later work. Through all of his complexity, Péguy's lifelike Hill's poemconforms to a kenotic, Christological pattern and is thus worthy of our emulation. |
