Henry Howard, 3. hrabia Surrey cytaty

Henry Howard 3. hrabia Surrey, KG, – angielski arystokrata i poeta, syn Thomasa Howarda, 3. księcia Norfolk i jego drugiej żony Lady Elizabeth Stafford. Urodził się w Hunsdon Hertfordshire w Anglii. Był rycerzem Orderu Podwiązki.

Tytuł hrabiego Surrey otrzymał w 1524 roku, po śmierci dziadka, gdy jego ojciec odziedziczył tytuł księcia Norfolk. Był jednym z prekursorów poezji angielskiej doby Renesansu. Wraz z Thomasem Wyattem jako pierwsi tworzyli sonety, stając się wzorem dla późniejszych twórców. Howard wprowadził też do poezji angielskiej blank verse, czyli nierymowany pentametr jambiczny, którym posługiwali się później zarówno w epice, jak i w dramacie i liryce, między innymi Thomas Kyd, Christopher Marlowe, William Szekspir, John Milton, Alfred Tennyson, Robert Browning i Matthew Arnold. Dwie jego kuzynki - Anna Boleyn oraz Katarzyna Howard były żonami Henryka VIII. Uwięziony wraz z ojcem w styczniu 1547 roku został oskarżony o zdradę i skazany na śmierć 13 stycznia 1547 roku. Został ścięty w Tower 19 stycznia 1547, po czym pochowany w kościele Wszystkich Świętych w Londynie. Staraniem jego syna, Henriego Howarda jego doczesne szczątki zostały przeniesione i pochowane w kościele Świętego Michała Archanioła w Framlingham.

Henry Howard poślubił Lady Frances de Vere, z która miał pięcioro dzieci:

Catherine HowardJego ojciec uniknął śmierci, gdyż jego egzekucja została wstrzymana z powodu śmierci Henryka VIII w przeddzień jej wyznaczonego terminu. Po śmierci jego ojca w 1554 roku tytuł księcia Norfolk odziedziczył jego najstarszy syn Thomas.

Zdania na temat wartości liryki Howarda są podzielone. Przemysław Mroczkowski uważał, że Wyatt i Surrey „byli nie więcej niż zdolnymi i obdarzonymi inicjatywą eksperymentatorami w dziedzinie rodzimej poezji”. Jednak nie sposób przecenić roli obu tych poetów jako prekursorów renesansu, nowatorów w zakresie wersyfikacji i stylu. Wikipedia

“Wyatt resteth here, that quick could never rest:
Whose heavenly gifts increased by disdain;
And virtue sank the deeper in his breast:
Such profit he by envy could obtain.”

“Thus I alone, where all my freedom grew,
In prison pine, with bondage and restraint:
And with remembrance of the greater grief,
To banish the less, I find my chief relief.”

“So cruel prison how could betide, alas,
As proud Windsor? where I, in lust and joy,
With a King's son, my childish years did pass,
In greater feast than Priam's sons of Troy.
Where each sweet place returns a taste full sour.”

Matchless his pen, victorious was his lance;
Bold in the lists, and graceful in the dance.”

Criticism

“With silver drops the mead yet spread for ruth,
In active games of nimbleness and strength,
Where we did strain, trained with swarms of youth,
Our tender limbs that yet shot up in length.
The secret groves, which oft we made resound
Of pleasant plaint, and of our ladies' praise;
Recording oft what grace each one had found,
What hope of speed, what dread of long delays.”

“Then think I thus: "Sith such repair,
So long time war of valiant men,
Was all to win a lady fair,
Shall I not learn to suffer then?
And think my life well spent to be,
Serving a worthier wight than she?"”

"The Lover Comforteth Himself with the Worthiness of his Love", line 19

“When raging love with extreme pain
Most cruelly distrains my heart;
When that my tears, as floods of rain,
Bear witness of my woful smart;
When sighs have wasted so my breath
That I lie at the point of death:
I call to mind the navy great
That the Greeks brought to Troyè town:
And how the boisterous winds did beat
Their ships, and rent their sails adown;
Till Agamemnon's daughter's blood
Appeased the gods that them withstood.”

“Brittle beauty, that Nature made so frail,
Whereof the gift is small, and short the season;
Flowering to-day, to-morrow apt to fail;
Tickle treasure, abhorred of reason:
Dangerous to deal with, vain, of none avail;
Costly in keeping, past not worth two peason.”

That built his seat within my captive breast;
Clad in the arms wherein with me he fought,
Oft in my face he doth his banner rest.”

Good ladies! help to fill my mourning voice.”

Criticism

“I know she swore with raging mind,
Her kingdom only set apart,
There was no loss, by law of kind,
That could have gone so near her heart;
And this was chiefly all her pain:
"She could not make the like again."”

“The soote season, that bud and bloom forth brings,
With green hath clad the hill, and eke the vale:

The turtle to her make hath told her tale;
Summer is come, for every spray now springs.”
