Last of three programmes

A. E. Housman (1859-1936) by D. R. Shackleton Bailey
Fellow of Jesus College, Cambridge 'When I asked myself what it is that has made my readings of the Maniltus the most memorable intellectual experience of my life,' says
Mr. Shackleton Bailey , 'I look to a quality, which I find in no other comparable scholar to anything like the same degree. I mean his unremitting, passionate zeal to see each one of the innumerable problems m his text not as others had presented it or as he might have preferred it to appear but exactly as it was.'

(A new production of the programme originally broadcast on April 6, 1955)
This Meditation is one speech from Charles Peguy 's poetic drama Le Mystère de la Charite de 7eanne d'Arc which occurs when the young Joan goes to 'Madame Gervaise,' a Franciscan nun, to know the Church's teaching on the doctrine of the loss of souls. In answer Madame Gervaise recites the events of the Passion with reference to the words of the psalm: ' My God, my God, look upon me, why hast thou forsaken me? '
