Collective title of ‘The Flower’s Name’ and ‘Sibrandus Schafnaburgensis’, published in Hood’s Magazine (July 1844) and in DRL. In the first poem the speaker dwells lovingly on a Spanish woman’s walk through a garden and wishes the moment could last. ‘Where I find her not, beauties vanish;/Whither I follow her, beauties flee’ (41–2). The roses in the garden no longer seem ‘so fair’ (48). In the second poem a pedantic old tome, partly personifying its dry author, is dropped (by way of ‘revenge’) into the ‘crevice’ of a garden plum-tree where ‘rain-drippings stagnate’ (16, 17, 26). Having been soaked, infiltrated by pond-life, blistered and discoloured, it is retrieved by the speaker (’some wag’ says Orr [1896], p. 285) and taken back to the bookshelf.
