The following lines from his Marshes of 

 Glynn are representative of the quality of his 

 verse : 



And what if behind me to westward the wall of 



the wood stands high? 

 The world lies east : how ample, the marsh and 



the sea and the sky ! 

 A league and a league of marsh-grass, waist-high, 



broad in the blade, 

 Green, and all of a height, and unflecked with a 



light or a shade, 



Stretch leisurely off, in a pleasant plain, 

 To the terminal blue of the main. 



LANSDOWNE, lanz'doun, HENRY CHARLES 

 KEITH PETTY-FITZMAURICE, Fifth Marquis of 

 (1845- ), a contemporary British statesman, 

 one of that small group of men who are 

 taught from bo}diood to take a leading part 

 in public life. He 

 was educated at 

 Eton and at Bal- 

 liol College, Ox- 

 ford, and suc- 

 ceeded to the 

 family estates 

 and titles in 1866, 

 when he was only 

 twenty-one. Thus 

 elevated to the 

 House of Lords 

 at an age when 

 most young men LORD LANSDOWNE 

 are finishing their schooling, he lost no time in 

 making his influence felt. In various Liberal 

 Ministries he was in turn a Lord of the Treas- 

 ury (1869-1872), Undersecretary of State for 

 War (1872-1874) and Undersecretary of State 

 for India (1880). His resignation from the last 

 office was a sharp protest against Gladstone's 

 policy toward Ireland, and when Gladstone in 

 1886 finally espoused Home Rule, Lansdowne 

 was one of those who joined the Liberal 

 Unionist party. 



In the meantime Lansdowne had been ap- 

 pointed Governor-General of Canada to suc- 

 ceed the Duke of Argyle (Marquis of Lome). 

 His tenure of this office, from 1883 to 1888, was 

 marked by considerable internal progress, no- 

 tably the completion of the Canadian Pacific 

 Railway. The Saskatchewan, or Riel, Rebel- 

 lion and the arbitration of the fisheries dispute 

 with the United States were other noteworthy 

 features. After five years in Canada Lans- 

 downe spent five years in India as Viceroy.
