I heard my mp3 recording of my poem, 'Turner's Loch Coruisk', echoing through the engine shed tunnels of The Roundhouse in Camden as part of the <a href="http://www.roundhouse.org.uk/whats-on/productions/invisible-architecture">Invisible Architecture</a> Installation by <a href="http://www.antlerspress.co.uk/">Antlers Press</a>. It was a novel way to mark World Poetry Day. The poem was inspired by <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/gallery/2009/jan/13/jmw-turner-watercolours">Turner's watercolour</a> of the famous loch on Skye.<br />

A copy of 'A Riddle' by Catherine Maria Fanshawe (1765-1834) has just come to light in my study. You can read the poem <a href="http://www.braingle.com/21884.html">here</a>, and there is information about about poet and poem, <a href="http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Fanshawe,_Catherine_Maria_%28DNB00%29">here</a>.

<br />
I have just returned from an excellent international evening at the <a href="http://www.swansea.gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=1629">Dylan Thomas Centre</a> in Swansea, hosted by <a href="http://www.myspace.com/peterthabitjones">Peter Thabit Jones</a>, editor of <a href="http://www.peterthabitjones.com/theseventhquarry.html"><span style="font-style: italic;">The Seventh Quarry</span></a> poetry magazine. The evening was dedicated to the memory of Dylan's daughter, Aeronwy, who had toured parts of the USA with Peter earlier this year.<br />
<br />
During the course of the evening, <a href="http://www.edicionesgodot.com.ar/libros/ediciones-godot-under-the-shadows-of-your-falling-words-sultan-catto.html">Sultan Catto</a>, 'a professor of <a href="http://web.gc.cuny.edu/physics/">theoretical physics at the CUNY Graduate School</a> and at the Rockefeller University' and 'Executive Officer pf the PhD program at City University of New York' read a poem, 'Echo', from p.33 of his collection, <a href="http://www.edicionesgodot.com.ar/libros/ediciones-godot-under-the-shadows-of-your-falling-words-sultan-catto.html"><span style="font-style: italic;">Under the shadows of your falling words</span></a> (Ediciones Godot Argentina 2008, ISBN978-987-1489-06-0). The poem, it seems to me, is full of spatial possibilities and unexpected reflections: we wander and wonder in a realm of 'secluded mirrors' and 'unending walkways'.<br />
<br />
Sultan was joined by Aleksey Dayen, and I was able to buy his book, 'NO!Love' (ISBN 978-0-89304-225-7), published by <a href="http://www.cross-culturalcommunications.com/?page=shop/browse&category_id=2&CLSN_303=1255777426303d52dd19e0402cdd8152">Cross-Cultural Communications</a> in New York. Aleksey gave a highly individual reading of 'Jailbird Blues', accompanied by singer-songwriter, Terry Clarke. It was a most enjoyable evening.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
In the course of unravelling a little about the history of <a href="http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/178001/echo-verse">Echo Verse</a> for the article, I became fascinated by the subject and thought that the best way to order my discoveries was - initially at least - via a blog. So here it is. It is primarily intended as a reference resource.</div>
<br />
I hope you will come to enjoy this intriguing poetic phenomenon, too: indeed I should be grateful to hear of other favourite examples, even if I cannot promise to list everything.<br />

She is quite often the subject of Echo Verse. The <a href="http://greek-history.suite101.com/article.cfm/echo_and_narcissus">story of Echo and Narcissus</a> was well known in antiquity. The subtleties of Echo Verse do not translate easily, but see e.g. the rendering of lines 1082f. on p.171 of <span style="font-style: italic;">Thesmophoriazusai</span> in <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Aristophanes: Plays 2</span> by Patric Dickinson (OUP).

Kenilworth Castle has been in the news a lot this year on account of the amazing £2.1 million restoration of the Elizabethan Garden, based on the description of the garden in a letter of 1575. Articles are appearing on this enchanting story. Recommended ones are listed below:<br />
<ul><li><span style="font-style: italic;">Kenilworth Castle, the wooing of a Virgin Queen</span> by Chris Catling in <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Current Archaeology</span> 232, p.34.</li>

</ul>The central feature of the Elizabethan Garden incorporates a back-to-back marble statue of two Atlantes, who balance a globe-shaped water fountain on their shoulders. You can read more about the reconstruction project on <a href="http://www.bdonline.co.uk/story.asp?storycode=3125651">The Architects' Website</a> and also on Patrick Baty's blog, <a href="http://papers-paints.blogspot.com/2009/05/elizabethan-garden-at-kenilworth-castle.html">News from the Colourman</a>.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">In the run-up to <a href="http://www.nationalpoetryday.co.uk/">National Poetry Day</a> on Thursday 8 October 2009, <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/bookreviews/6250955/Carol-Ann-Duffy-Interview.html"><span style="font-style: italic;">The Daily Telegraph</span></a> for Saturday 3 October 2009 features a new poem by the Poet Laureate, Carol Ann Duffy, entitled '<a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/bookreviews/6250955/Carol-Ann-Duffy-Interview.html">Atlas</a>'. The poet is concerned with climate change, and the poem alludes to the giant's precarious balancing act as he bears his fragile but precious burdens aloft. The accompanying picture (which does not appear in the online edition) looks much like the Atlantes at Kenilworth, and I began to wonder if there was a difference between <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_%28mythology%29">Atlas</a>, the Titan with the terrestrial globe on his shoulders (Greek: Ἄτλας), and the Atlantes. I suspect that the names can be used interchangeably, but please advise me if you know otherwise!</div></div><br />
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plato" title="Plato">Plato</a> informs us, incidentally, that the first king of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantis" title="Atlantis">Atlantis</a> was also named Atlas; but that although he was Poseidon's son, he did not number among the immortal deities.<br />

Edward de Vere, Earl of Oxford (1550-1604)</span><br />
<br />
Scholars have not always found it easy to tell whether some works come from the hand of Shakesepare or of De Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford. Oxford, it seems, wrote a poem called <span style="font-style: italic;">Anne Vavasour's Echo </span>(sometimes written as <span style="font-style: italic;">Anne Vavasor's Echo</span>). It resonates with Shakespeare’s echo verse in <span style="font-style: italic;">Venus and Adonis</span>, and some have linked Vavasour to Shakespeare’s ‘dark lady’ of the sonnets. Edward de Vere’s lines on Romeo are particularly witty: the echo of the hero’s name is ‘eo’, which can also be read as the initials for the Earl of Oxford:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">I would tear the cave where Echo lies,</span><br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">And make her airy tongue more hoarse than mine,</span><br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">With repetition of my Rom-eo's name.</span><br />

This poet from the ‘Tavy's voiceful stream’ produced elegies, anagram poems and echo verse. The young Keats was influenced by his work. Browne supplied a poem to Michael Drayton for the second book of his significant topographical work, Poly-Olbion. He also produced a variety of poetic forms, including elegies, anagram poems and echo verses. Browne dedicated his second volume of <span style="font-style: italic;">Britannia’s Pastorals</span> (1616) to William Herbert, third Earl of Pembroke, and resided for a time at Herbert’s home, Wilton House, where contemporary visitors can enjoy the muted echoes of the Whispering Seat.<br />

Herbert, like Sir Philip Sidney, was a notable exponents of the form at a time when a piece of Echo Verse was sung in the presence of Queen Elizabeth I on her visit to Kenilworth Castle in 1575. Herbert’s poem, 'Heaven', demonstrates the role of the echo in diminishing verse.<br />

Swift also wrote a poem about <a href="http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/An_Echo">An Echo</a>.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Ronald A. Knox (1888-1957)</span><br />
<br />
Knox, the Roman Catholic theologian and friend of Evelyn Waugh, penned a masterful echo poem, ‘The Visitors’ Book, Hartland Quay’, which includes a Classical Greek pun on his name. Monsignor Ronald Knox is described on the back of <span style="font-style: italic;">The Knox Brothers</span> by Penelope Fitzgerald (daughter of Ronald's brother, Edmund) as 'Roman Catholic chaplain to Oxford University's student body, preacher, wit, scholar, crime-writer and translator of the Bible.' Knox and his three brothers were the sons of an 'Evangelical Bishop of Manchester'. They all enjoyed poetry and puzzles. Ronnie, as he was affectionately known, has the distinction of being hailed as 'the wittiest young man in England' by the <span style="font-style: italic;">Daily Mail</span> in 1924.<br />
<br />
As we have noted, echo verse is often playful, witty and humorous. Knox, in his introduction to <span style="font-style: italic;">Essays in Satire</span> writes that 'the pure humorist is a man without a message'. He states that (in his opinion) 'humour as a force in literature is struggling towards its birth in Jane Austen, and hardly achieves its full stature until Calverley. I know that there are obvious exceptions. There is humour in Aristophanes and in Petronius; there is humour in Shakespeare, though not as much of it as one would expect; humour in Sterne, too, and in Sheridan ... Under correction, then, I am maintaining that literature before the nineteenth century has no conscious humour apart from satire.'<br />
<br />
Aristophanes, it seems to me, was one of the earliest known exponents of echo verse, and I suspect that Knox's echo verse poem (with its Greek pun) about Hartland Quay gives a nod in passing to the 'humorous' comic poet of Greek antiquity. His poem, which you can read in the text of <span style="font-style: italic;">Juxta Salices</span> (link to <a href="http://www.archive.org/stream/juxtasalices00knoxuoft/juxtasalices00knoxuoft_djvu.txt">book</a>) ends with the following couplet, hinting that in the Doric Greek of the poet, Pindar (in which the word for Echo becomes A-CH-A in the transliterated form, rather than E-CH-E of the Ionian script), Echo's identity is closely linked with the poet's own:<br />
<br />

<br />
N.B. It is perhaps worth pointing out that Echo (in the personified form in Elizabethan texts) sometimes appears with this spelling: Eccho.<br />

<br />
William Browne, poet of the ‘Tavy's voiceful stream’, produced a variety of poetic forms, including elegies, anagram poems and echo verses. Browne dedicated his second volume of <span style="font-style: italic;">Britannia’s Pastorals</span> (1616) to William Herbert, third Earl of Pembroke, and resided for a time at Herbert’s home, <a href="http://www.information-britain.co.uk/showPlace.cfm?Place_ID=670">Wilton House</a>. Isaac de Caux had laid out the formal garden at Wilton in 17th century. Leonard Knyff made a topographical view of it, which you can purchase as a postcard.<br />
<br />
Contemporary visitors can enjoy the muted echoes of the Whispering Seat, made by (presumably Sir Richard) Westmacott in the early nineteenth century. The Whispering Seat is quite an attraction today. You need to position a person at each end. One whispers softly while the other listens for the sound to travel round the curved seat to his or her end of the stone bench.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 100%; font-weight: normal;"><a href="http://www.victorianweb.org/sculpture/westmacottr/index.html">Sir Richard Westmacott</a> (1775-1856) produced, according to Bob Peel, 'a </span>prodigal number of monuments, statues, busts and other works in stone...'

He came from a gifted family: two of his brothers, George and Henry were also sculptors, as was his son, Richard (1799-1872). Structural alterations to Witon House were undertaken in the early 19th century: James Wyatt began work on his Gothick Cloisters. Richard Westmacott and Sir Jeffrey Wyatville completed them in 1815.<br />

The Wilton gardens are enhanced by a Millennium water feature 'fountain', very similar to the one in the National Botanic Garden of Wales at <a href="http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/872228">Middleton House</a>.<br />
