Tribute paid

to Georges Fancy by

Endeavour

Say not the Struggle nought Availeth

BY ARTHUR HUGH CLOUGH

Say not the struggle nought availeth,

The labour and the wounds are vain,

The enemy faints not, nor faileth,

And as things have been they remain.

If hopes were dupes, fears may be liars;

It may be, in yon smoke concealed,

Your comrades chase e'en now the fliers,

And, but for you, possess the field.

For while the tired waves, vainly breaking

Seem here no painful inch to gain,

Far back through creeks and inlets making,

Comes silent, flooding in, the main.

And not by eastern windows only,

When daylight comes, comes in the light,

In front the sun climbs slow, how slowly,

But westward, look, the land is bright.

Springtime!

You do have to imagine that Constance’s memory is slightly inflated by Morse’s adolescence with Gwen. The more miserable he was in the now the more he would have retreated into the past. “Tenderness”…

Mr. Russell also went out of his way to make sure we knew his prospective MIL was also mean to him so. There is that. Depressing!

I love the idea that it was Constance who taught/encouraged Morse to speak whatever was on his mind– I assume some of that is just him, innately, (whatever we believe about things being hardwired into us from the beginning) but I love the idea that she was the one who told him to say what he was thinking– not just that it was worth saying, but that he has an absolute God-given (literally) right to do so. You have to imagine that as a small child in the late forties the pedagogy was largely based on “shut up and do as you’re told” “speak when spoken to” “you are stupid and have nothing worthwhile to say” and Constance told her brilliant boy that his thoughts were good and worth sharing, even when they are ah. Well, Morse-thoughts. “If the spirit moves you…” etc. I just love that fine character detailing, its one piece of background but it brings so much to the character, even if Morse isn’t/never was a believer. I love how it places him in opposition to society and its hierarchies form the get-go. We LOVE it when characters have cogent beliefs and act on them! We LOVE ideology!
