Pamphlet. 32 p.; 21.5 cm. (John Coffin memorial lecture ; 1961) Quotes appear in the original old spellings and in English translation. `By its carefully calculated means love/song secures both purity and strength--the purity of aim which seeks an authentic ideal of generosity and devotion, and the strength which gives to otherwise remote and elusive ends a recognizable place in a world of flesh and blood. The artifice and the formality which mediaeval love/song needed to rise above the level of popular song challenged poets to choose their words with a fine discrimina tion and to extract the utmost from the situation into which they had been led by the compelling discipline of love. This is by no means the only way to treat love, and only at this period has this treatment been predominant andalmost universal.But just because the poets believed in it and sang ofit with full conviction and a deep sense of their artistic responsibilities, their words have a peculiar freshness, which testifies to the unexpected effect which an essentially intellecutal theory may have upon the most wayward of the passions. By 1300 this art was moribund. In southern France the cult of courtly love had been dealt a cruel blow by the Albigensian Crusade of Simon de Montfort, but even in other parts of Europe the decay of the chivalrous outlook meant that its love/songs were doomed.The richest legacy fell to heirs whomthe poets themselves would not have found entirely to their taste,and was turned to the transformation of courtly into Christ ian love. Though Dante put Frederick II and Bertran de Born in Hell.he learned something from them all, and.raised it to an even loftier level by transmuting it into the most exalted form of transcendent love.

He thanks him for his letter 'arising from the television programme with Melvyn Bragg', and expresses agreement 'about a boycott in South Africa. No British Government could afford the economic cost of severing economic relations with South Africa and of boycotting in that sense. Therefore it is left to artists and sportsmen and playwrights and so on to do the boycotting.' He regrets that he has to decline the invitation to review for 'Books and Bookmen', which he knows 'quite well through Martyn Goff', as he has to 'cut down the amount of reviewing that I do and cannot undertake any more'.
