Looking for a poem

Post by Pennyaline
There is, somewhere out there, a poem from the metaphysical era that
sets the Garden of Eden as a jungle. I am looking for that poem and the
name of its author. Any ideas?

I'll write it for you if the price is right.

What I was hoping for is the one that already exists. Now if you're not
going to be serious about this, there'll be no cake!

Can you remember one line of the poem?
Give me one line, and I'll spend some time
trying to help you find it, but you've got to
give me the cake first, because I'm hungry,
and it's hard to think.....

Alright then. Here's a little bit of your cake.

There. Better now? Okay. To the best of recollection, it goes some'at
like this:

Here through the seagreen twilight
Slinks the tiger with his jewelled eye
And slick and slim the crafty lynx
Prick eared like satan lurches by

Maybe I need some cake, too.

Was it a standard form poem, or an epic like "The Knight in the
Tiger's Skin"? It wasn't Blake's "The Tiger," was it?

Customer replied 3 days and 9 hours ago.
It was a standard form poem. Blake's poem starts "Tyger Tygre burning
bright, in the forests of the night".
The poem I'm looking for is about the fall of man from the garden of
Eden, which is depicted as a jungle

Expert: Pennyaline replied 3 days and 9 hours ago.
I know "The Tiger" and I'm asking because lots of people misremember
it as something it isn't. That's what I wanted to establish. But
you've given me more to work with. We're from the same era, but I
don't remember ever reading a poem like the one you're looking for at
all...doesn't mean I won't keep looking though!

You know, I actually might be onto your poem!

no expert and I don't have anything to prove. 'Oh, looky here what I

Okay, okay. Sheesh. I don't know anything. Good luck finding your
poem. I hope you get rich. I can't help you with that. I'm poor. Have
a wonderful day. Again, I hope you find your poem. I'm sorry I
couldn't help any more than I did. Even that wasn't much. I might have

There was no way I could get paid for finding it, anyhow... Pennyaline
was the "expert" that Just Ask or whatever the site was called picked
to find the poem for pay.

It took me all of thirty seconds to find it, though, kind of strange
the so-called "expert" couldn't find it after weeks of trying... heh.

LOL. As long as you believe there is no way you could get paid for
finding it, you're right. There is no way. If you have something
somebody wants, you can sell it for however much they're willing to
pay. You had information that someone wanted. Now you don't. Like
magick, you made its value to you disappear. Learn from this. It
didn't take me half as long to find that poem as it did you, but I'll
be damned if I'm going to just give it away without at least having a
little fun with her first. Let this be a lesson in GET YOU SOME. Now
go out and get you some.

I checked the site over pretty closely, and saw no way to enter into
the "discussion" at all.

I just went ahead and posted the answer here (which it seems anyone
could have found after "weeks" of searching, since it took me three
minutes), where the archives will declare me the winner for
generations to come... heh.

When did I say I searched for weeks? I never said anything of the kind.
But I hadn't been able to find it so I asked here for help. Good

to act up, and now you've ruined it for everybody.

Anyway, not to sound immodest but my list of connections is in the

You're welcome. Do you want to know what I mean when I say I know? Do
you play cards or chess? I ask so that you may draw from the analogy.
I play both well, naturally. Exceptionally well by most standards. So
well that once upon a time I was very politely asked in no uncertain
terms not to ever ever play card games in certain specific large
buildings in certain specific small cities. Truthfully, they asked
several times, and in fact they said they wouldn't ask again. I just
think that's so funny because I never did anything wrong. I just have
this Rainman type thing that goes on in my head so that I simply know
when to maximize my bet. I completely understand their point. They're
there to run a business, not cater to the likes of me. Still, I don't
get what's so wrong with me doing what I do. I mean it's what I do.
It's all in my head. I can't take it out until I'm dead. It's generic
to me. It's who and what I am. The best and worst thing I can ever do
with it share it like this. And of course finance my other frivolous
enterprises. I mean the money has to come from somewhere. Ask Will.
Ask Mike. Ask George. Hell, you can even ask my next door neighbor. My
postal delivery person. My banker and the cops. I'm obviously not
doing anything illegal, but I appear to be doing so well despite so
little effort. A lot of people think I must live online given my post
count. The truth is that I sneak into Atlantic City from time to time
to gamble. I'm not greedy or habitual so I go unnoticed by security. I
take my wife and son to spot for me and we just make a day of it.
There's a cool little diner in Woodstown that we usually stop in for
breakfast on the way there. It's called the Woodstown Diner. Do you
know why? See, that's what I mean when I say I know.

A man by the name of Robert W. Madden taught me to play chess before I
reached my teens. He lived across the street, had two daughters named
Mary and Madelyn and was my dad's friend. Robert had habits that were
perceived as odd by some of the other neighbors. Robert was oddly
smart. Not just smart or very smart or even genius as most people
understand the word. Robert was a scientific advisor for the National
Security Agency. This is no bullshit. You can look up his obit on the
web and even go so far as to contact his surviving family to confirm
my story is true. Anyway, he taught me to play. I don't know if he
ever actually qualified as a Grand Master, but I did actually,
directly, personally see him beat them. Them meaning more than one,
suggesting that he was a great player in his own right, and he taught
me. I anchored my high school team for two years before I just up and
quit. Stupid really. I coulda been a contenda.

who "assisted" you in finding the Martin Armstrong poem... doesn't
that sound at least fair?

I shall, instantly.

Thanks, and I'll be happy to team up with you again sometime if you
need it... I really enjoy this sort of thing, even more-so when there
are results!

Good work, Will.

Bob,
Good to see you finally up and running on LinkedIn and I'm happy to be
your first connection. By the way, Will and George are there too. You
should look them up and connect. I know. I wasn't talking to you,
specifically. You should know that by now.
Anyway, not to sound immodest but my list of connections is in the
thousands. And when I say connections I mean real hardcore fans that
my shit hits. You can just imagine what happens when my shit hits the
fans. All I can say is you better fuck in duck.

Thanks for sending the email.
I'll look Will and George up.

I've played a little chess.
You'd beat me in 3 moves
or less.

What I learned I learned from a taxi driver
who was the dispatcher at the Alb. Airport.
The guy never finished even elementary
school, but he had a big brain. He was a
walking GPS...didn't need any maps, he
had 'em in his head.

it on Google, and not in a book, eh, wot?

Don't give away my secrets, George... heh.

In the end-up, I'm glad that Ros White can finally enjoy "In The
Garden" by Martin Armstrong... after waiting about 34 years!

"...Customer replied 10 days and 1 hours ago.
I've been searching for this poem for years (since I was 20, I'm now
54) so waiting a while longer is no problem. It was originally in a
school anthology of poems that I had when I was 16.
Best wishes
Ros White..."

Who knows, maybe Ros White will find her way here, eventually...

Hello, Ros!

the Middlesex Regiment in 1915 and promoted Lieutenant in 1916. He was
included in the final Georgian Poetry anthology.

He married in 1929 Canadian writer Jessie McDonald after she had
divorced Conrad Aiken, making Armstrong the stepfather of the young
Joan Aiken. He appears in disguised form as a character in Conrad
Aiken's Ushant.

You assumed without adequate basis for doing so. That's because you're

just slightly to the actual poem anf Martin Armstrong, the poet...

was an English writer and poet, known for his stories. He was born in
Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and educated at Charterhouse and Pembroke
College, Cambridge. He served in World War I in the British Army in
France - a Private in the Artists' Rifles, he was commissioned into
the Middlesex Regiment in 1915 and promoted Lieutenant in 1916. He was
included in the final Georgian Poetry anthology.
He married in 1929 Canadian writer Jessie McDonald after she had

Don't quote me assisting or expert. Doing so makes you appear less
serious. I know you're an easy going guy but that doesn't mean you
shouldn't be taken seriously. Finding that poem wasn't easy. Real
experts couldn't find it. Don't diminish your skill with misapplied
modesty. You didn't assist anyone. You did all the work. You deserve
the lion's share of whatever payment comes from it. Penny should get a
referral or agency fee. If she has difficulty collecting from deadbeat
clients, that's a separate issue. You should still get paid.
Personally, I've never had an issue with deadbeat clients. People know
better than to not pay me. I'm too well connected. Not paying me would
be a very bad personal business decision for anybody to make so nobody
ever does. I'm just lucky people see things my way I guess.

There is, somewhere out there, a poem from the metaphysical era that

Post by Pennyaline
sets the Garden of Eden as a jungle. I am looking for that poem and the
name of its author. Any ideas?

I'll write it for you if the price is right.

What I was hoping for is the one that already exists. Now if you're not
going to be serious about this, there'll be no cake!

Can you remember one line of the poem?
Give me one line, and I'll spend some time
trying to help you find it, but you've got to
give me the cake first, because I'm hungry,
and it's hard to think.....

Alright then. Here's a little bit of your cake.
There. Better now? Okay. To the best of recollection, it goes some'at

Now, now, Penny, we have a "sense of humor", but the above was pretty
dishonest, you have to admit.

And not only does it lead the casual reader to think that you've been
searching for the poem for at /least/ some weeks, but your quoting the
lines from "your" memory, actually makes it look like you may have
been wondering about this poem for /years/, possibly.

It almost looks like you had no idea we'd be able to see your original
posts on Just Answer, Penny... did you?

Post by Pennyaline
Here through the seagreen twilight
Slinks the tiger with his jewelled eye
And slick and slim the crafty lynx

Maybe I need some cake, too.

And the twenty bucks from Just Answer to buy some of that "cake"
with... hint hint.

No, I have no idea which poem you mean. All of the so called
metaphysical poets wrote poems about the Garden of Eden though,
Marvell wrote The Garden, Treherne Eden, and so forth. The list of
metaphysical era English poets is relatively short. It shouldn't take
much time at all to go down the list one by one until you find the
poet and poem you're looking for. I wrote a poem titled The Garden Off
My Den about my own backyard but it's not metaphysical or anything.

I wrote "Grove of Mystery", which isn't the Garden of Eden or a jungle
but really a little bit of underbrush behind Books-A-Million on Macon
Road where the poetry reading folks used to sneak off to for private
moments before during and after the readings... that was way back in
the 1990s when things were a lot more "metaphysical":

http://groups.google.com/group/rec.arts.poems/msg/284b45b424059df4?hl=en

Grove Of Mystery

So many memories here,
in this grove of mystery.
Smoke floats gently, kind of sad,
big green and little Miss Olive,
green eyes impossibly unique.
We're down by law.

On this walkabout, hot, stoned, heartsick.
We all know this is the time to be wise,
when to hone and think on my feet.
Pieces of Eight vanish from Poseidon,
ninety percent law, ten percent water.

Passing through underground Shadowville,
heartbreaks as far as eye can see.
Lady Abi cooking in her tent,
shopping cart and umbrella,
behind the shut down International club.
She's plotting out miniscule facts,
and directions.

Love unconditionally,
the direction the heart must take.
In set adrift,
clear light in my eyes when I wake.

My heart's just not in it,
Raven is chained away in the infirmary.
Soul float through clouds,
enforced separation,
just a bunch of too much junkie buisness.
I's spellbound, now struck dumb.

In the lighted corridors,
the trees make shadows.
The cars and airplanes in a montage,
constantly changing and in motion.
Moon is good to have back,
if this was ever really true.
So many memories here,
in this grove of mystery.

It's neither Marvell nor Traherne. You're right, the list of
metaphysical poets is short, but I don't have the collected works of
each one at hand. If I had, I wouldn't be asking for help. Thanks
anyway, and if anyone does know, I'd appreciate it if you'd pass it this

There is, somewhere out there, a poem from the metaphysical era that
sets the Garden of Eden as a jungle. I am looking for that poem and the
name of its author. Any ideas?

I know exactly which poem you're looking for. I found it while putting

won't say what it is though because I'm a heartless uncaring SOB.

Not everybody visits Usenet every day. Wait a while. So far, some of
our resident trolls and kooks have informed you of what Google tells
them. It will take longer to look your question up in books.

While you're waiting, here's George Herbert's metaphysical Eden:

Paradise
--------

I blesse Thee, Lord, because I GROW
Among Thy trees, which in a ROW
To Thee both fruit and order OW.

What open force or hidden CHARM
Can blast my fruit, or bring me HARM,
While the inclosure is Thine ARM?

Inclose me still, for fear I START;
Be to me rather sharp and TART
Then let me want Thy hand and ART.

When Thou dost greater judgements SPARE,
And with Thy knife but prune and PARE,
Ev'n fruitful trees more fruitfull ARE:

Such sharpnes shows the sweetest FREND:
Such cuttings rather heal then REND,
And such beginnings touch their END.

Stupid ~PJ~ troll: Google has hundreds more books, online, than you've
ever owned, read, or (most likely) even seen. The same for Project
Gutenberg, for Bartleby.com, and for at least two dozen universities.
The chances of you or Gwythera having it in your library, when
Pannyaline has already struck out at all of these major sources, is as
small as is your talent: virtually nil.

You're correct. I've read it in the past, and again just a few days ago
in the course of my hunt.

Frankly, I have no memory of a metaphysical poem that portrays Eden as a
jungle the way the sought after poem purportedly does. The idea is
right, but the language and style are not. Still, I'll exhaust the
metaphysical sources before I move the search to another era.

Actually, it might be a good idea to drop a line to Anniina Jokinen at
Luminarium. Her website page on British literature from the 14th to
18th centuries is one of the best of its kind on the web -- she has
done a tremendous amount of research to find the poems and articles
that grace it. Considering her area of specialization, she is the
person I can think of online most likely to have come across this poem
-- or at least to know of someone with the specialized knowledge that
you'd need in this case.

I wrote "Grove of Mystery", which isn't the Garden of Eden or a jungle

Grove Of Mystery
So many memories here,
in this grove of mystery.
Smoke floats gently, kind of sad,
big green and little Miss Olive,
green eyes impossibly unique.
We're down by law.
On this walkabout, hot, stoned, heartsick.
We all know this is the time to be wise,
when to hone and think on my feet.
Pieces of Eight vanish from Poseidon,
ninety percent law, ten percent water.
Passing through underground Shadowville,
heartbreaks as far as eye can see.
Lady Abi cooking in her tent,
shopping cart and umbrella,
behind the shut down International club.
She's plotting out miniscule facts,
and directions.
Love unconditionally,
the direction the heart must take.
In set adrift,
clear light in my eyes when I wake.
My heart's just not in it,
Raven is chained away in the infirmary.
Soul float through clouds,
enforced separation,
just a bunch of too much junkie buisness.
I's spellbound, now struck dumb.
In the lighted corridors,
the trees make shadows.
The cars and airplanes in a montage,
constantly changing and in motion.
Moon is good to have back,
if this was ever really true.
So many memories here,
in this grove of mystery.
