Opis: Literature and Life - Osborn Edward Bolland

Excerpt from Literature and Life: Things Seen, Heard and Read

Some years ago when passing a Kentish hopgarden I heard a number of children singing the quaint old folk-song of "The Maid in Bedlam":

One morning very early, one morning in the spring,
I heard a maid in Bedlam who mournfully did sing,
Her tears they trickled down her face, while mournfully sang I she,
"I love my love, I love my love, because my love loves me" -

and there and then made up my mind to become acquainted with the Muse of the Madhouse. No other Autolycus of literature, I felt sure, had thought of exploring her shadowy demesnes; I saw myself returning from the exploration thereof with a garland of poetical wild-flowers utterly unlike anything hitherto collected by the anthologist (whose name is legion nowadays) and getting it profitably published under the title of "King Lear's Chaplet." "King Lear's Chaplet" - the title alone would have made the anthology a success of esteem, so conscientiously does it combine the precious and the practicable.
