Words in Gray's
Elegy Chosen
Very Carefully
By Leellle Cains "
ALTHOUGH the original manuscript
of Thomas Gray's "Elergy Written -In
a Country Churchyard." maybe seen .
by tourists to Stoke Pogts. England, in .
the great house adjoining the poet a N
grave, it la doubtful if many Americana ,
are aware of the abundant proof it
furnishes of the painstaking care wltn
which Gray chose the words for that
Immortal poem. Inasmuch as It re
mained In his hands before completion,
for seven years following the year 1742 ,
in which it was begun, the poet cer-
talnly had time enough for revision and
improvement.
Taking some of the best known lines
we find changes of words as follows
"Of such as wandering near her secret
bower," was first written with the
words "stray too" in place of "wander
ing." Before selecting the word "en
vied." In the line, '"Or climb his knees -the
envied kiss to share," Gray, aa the
original manuscript shows, experimented
with both "coming" and "doubtful."
The line. "Nor you. ye proud. Impute
to these the fault." originally read.
"Forgive, ye proud, th' Involuntary
fault"- truly a great improvement.
The word "village" was first . used
and then discarded In the line reading,
"The rude forefathers of the hamlet
sleep."
Before giving to the world the llnet
"There, at- the foot of yonder nodding
beech." Gray tried -hoary teech" and
"spreading beech" and rejected them. -;
"Can honor's voice provoke the silent
dust" -was first written, "Can honor's

compulsory rationing in London and

On the whoTe, the distribution of sun-'

scheme, and the ministry has every hops
of being able to honor all coupons, both
for meat .-and margarine and butter.
There are plentiful supplies of bacon.
Some misconception has arisen over
the clauss in the rationing order, which
states that "no person within the area
may consums in any week an amount
of rationed food in excess of ths amount
ror the time being prescribed by the
food controller for such person.
Many people have taken this to mean
not only, that they must not transfer a
coupon to a friend, but that If an Indi
vidual member of a household does not
want his meat portion his share may
not be given to another. This is not
the Intention of the clause. So long as
the total bulk of meat consumed does
not exceed the amount allowed for the
household the rations may be appor
tioned as may be agreed among the In
dividuals concerned.
