“They Flee from Me”<\/em><\/p>\n

On this date Sir Thomas Wyatt <\/a>died (1503-1549).<\/p>\n

Frye in Rencontre<\/em>: “The General Editor’s Introduction”:<\/p>\n

It used to be said of Wyatt, being older and further down on the evolutionary scale, was a cruder pioneer than Surrey, who the same kind of thing much better.\u00a0 This view of them resulted from a historical accident.\u00a0 They both belonged to the courtly class of amateur poets who did not publish their poetry, and were first introduced in Tottel’s Miscellany<\/em> (1557), on the eve of Elizabeth’s reign.\u00a0 By that time the new conservatism was in full swing, and the editor of Tottel made many alterations in Wyatt’s work to bring it inl line with Surrey’s, under the impression, so common among editors, that he was improving it.\u00a0 Fortunately Wyatt’s manuscripts have survived, and we can see from them that he is a poet of older radicalism of Skelton and Dunbar as well as the of the new age, and one of the finest experimental poets of any age:<\/p>\n

They flee from me, that sometime did me seek
\nWith naked foot stalking in my chamber.
\nI have seen them gentle, tame, and meek
\nThat now are wild, and do not remember
\nThat sometime they put themself in danger
\nTo take bread at my hand: and now they range,
\nBusily seeking with a continual change.<\/p>\n
