Scott : Sir Walter (1771-1832), first great Scottish novelist & poet: inventor of the historical novel (see Rebecca) & one of the most popular novelists of all time.
... Classicism, R. A. Scott-James 1 labels as Classical the virtues and defects which go with the notions of fitness, propriety, measure, restraint, conservatism, authority, calm, experience, comeliness and in contrast he labels as Romantic those which are suggested by excitement, energy, restlessness, spirituality, curiosity, troublousness, progress, liberty, experi-ment, provocativeness. If Scott-James is accepted... Aurobindo in analyses and distinctions. But several have recognised Eliza-bethan poetry as Romantic. Thus Scott-James 26 speaks of Ben Jonson resisting the "unruly Romanticism of his time" be-cause, though he appreciated the fire that burned in his contemporaries, he saw that the very greatness of what Scott-James calls the "romantic splendour" of the age had its grave dangers. It is surprising that Lucas... thinking or even poetical philosophy of a rather obvious kind, sedate, or vigorous, prompt and direct, or robustly power-ful". 19 Examples can be drawn from the work of Dryden and Pope, Cowper and Scott and Browning. On the vital plane the Teutonic element would be far more at home poetically than the Latin, for nervous vehemence and energy of character and rush of incident are natural to its objective ...
... result that they were utterly distorted. In view of this Gnostic peril, the writer demands a return to 'sound doctrine'." Scott footnotes the last two words: 1 Timothy 1:10; 2 Timothy 1:13 and 4:3; Titus 1:9; 2:1. The Page 219 "false teachings" which Scott puts in "Paul's lifetime" can be traced in both Ephesians and Colossians. The Roman Catholic commentator John H. Dougherty... be spotted earlier. Reviewing the Pastoral Epistles (1 and 2 Timothy and Titus) in the immediate wake of Paul or even at the term of Paul's own time if they can be attributed to him, Earnest F. Scott 73 underlines one of their "main interests" thus: "[The Letters] proclaim the necessity of right belief. The false teachings which had invaded the Church in Paul's lifetime had now grown into dangerous ...
... to a young man who had sent examples of his work, Walter Scott described poetry as a 'knack'. He didn't seem to set much store by it, either, and advised the aspiring poet to apply himself to a worthwhile profession! Perhaps it was a tactful way of telling the young man that he had no talent. On the other hand, to a writer like Waiter Scott, poetry may well have seemed to be no more than a 'knack'... 'knack' with words. I cart imagine Rudyard Kipling, for example, saying the same. Sri Aurobindo dismissed Kipling as a clever versifier, not a poet, and he may have dismissed Scott in the same way. Yet, few critics have attempted to make the distinction that Sri Aurobindo makes, and for the reading public in general there is no distinction to be made (between poetry and mere verse) that does not depend upon ...

... now greatly in vogue, has been pointed at by some as the Scott of Bengal. It is a marvellous thing that the people who misuse this phrase as an encomium, cannot understand that it conveys an insult. They would have us imagine that one of the most perfect and original of novelists is a mere replica of a faulty and incomplete Scotch author! Scott had many marvellous and some unique gifts, but his defects... most, are usually very manifest puppets; and they have all this shortcoming, that they have no soul: they may be splendid or striking or bold creations, but they live from outside and not from within. Scott could paint outlines, but he could not fill them in. Here Bankim excels; speech and action with him are so closely interpenetrated and suffused with a deeper existence that his characters give us the ...

Eleanor Hammond's "Transition" turns upon a pretty emotion and Evelyn Scott's "Fear" on an idea with fine possibilities, but as usual in this kind the style has no trace of any poetic turn or power but only a tamely excited and childlikely direct primitive sincerity and the ...
... revised, 1978) and sought out the letter from Scott's Lane about this revolution. A very good translation of it appears on pp. 106 & ff, and there is a footnote which sets right the date: The manuscript of this letter bears the date 17 Feb- ruary 1907. This is evidently a slip. In February 1907 Sri Aurobindo was staying in Deoghar. The house in Scott's Lane does not seem to have been taken till ...
... quarter century after I had originally stepped into the Ashram. Not that the unending God-rootedness has put a finis to every defect of human nature. It may even seem that — to adapt Scott's couplet — The way is long, the wind is cold, The minstrel is infirm and old. Yes, many are the shortcomings to be got over, and the years are flying. But the golden ...
... his special favour, somehow. Two of us once took part in a recitation competition. I do not now recall exactly what was the particular piece of which poet or dramatist. Very probably, it was from Scott's Lay of the Last Minstrel, the piece beginning: A stark moss-trooping Scot was he. Prafulla Ghose and an Englishman named Tipping, another teacher of English, were the judges. They listened ...
... deference). Today it is most frequent in familiar phrases like "How d'ye do?", "What d'ye think?", "Thank ye", "I tell ye". But poetry too is not devoid of instances which leave no doubt. When we read Scott's Hush ye, hush ye, little pet ye! Page 296 or Tennyson's 'Damsel,' he said, 'ye be not all to blame', the singular number is apparent. At this place we may glance at ...
... had obeyed in disciplined silence as if a single body. About this period Sri Aurobindo had decided to take up charge of a Bengali daily, Nava Shakti , and had moved from his rented house in Scott's Lane, where he had been living with his wife and sister, to rooms in the office of this newspaper, and there, before he could begin this new venture, early one morning while he was still sleeping, ...
... but not wishing to inconvenience his host Sri Aurobindo moved to a house irt Chukku Khansama Lane, where Mrinalini, Sarojini, Barin and Abinash came to stay with him. Later when they shifted to 23, Scott's Lane, Barin went over to stay at the Murari Pukur Gardens. At first Sri Aurobindo was absorbed in work connected with the new National College but soon he was drawn into a venture which had a profound ...
... One of the already initiated, Upendranath Bandhopadhyaya, had introduced an aspirant, Amarendranath Chatterji, to Sri Aurobindo, and the interview probably took place in 1907 at this Place in Scott's Lane. When Amarendra saw Sri Aurobindo, it was as though the mere sight or darshan was itself a kind of initiation or diksha; it was as though some current of energy was passing from Sri Aurobindo ...

... proved too embarrassing to the members of Mullick's family. Accordingly, Sri Aurobindo's resourceful factotum, Abinash Bhattacharya, found a separate place, first at Chhaku Khansama Lane, then 23 Scott's Lane, where Mrinalini and Sarojini (and for a time Barin) could also join them. What with the associate editorship of the newly started Bande Mataram and the Principalship of the Bengal National ...
... It was a Friday night, and Sri Aurobindo was sleeping peacefully in his first floor room at 48, Grey Street - the office of the Nava Sakti - to which he had moved some time earlier from his Scott's Lane residence. At about five in the morning next day (2 May), Sarojini his sister rushed into his room in terror and woke him up. The small room was now filled with armed policemen, some senior ...
... lucidity is not an absolute but a relative virtue - relative to the reader's sympathy and to the complexity and remoteness from ordinary experience of the thought OF vision to be communicated. If we find Scott's verse more lucid than, say , Blake's we are by no means entitled to reproach Blake with failure in lucidity. The question is: is he as lucid as possible under the circumstances?... A new secret may ...
... personal requirements, however, were well looked after. A house was taken at Chhuku Khansama Lane where Barin, Abinash, Sarojini and Mrinalini stayed with Sri Aurobindo. After that they shifted to 23, Scott's Lane. Barin went to stay at Murari Pukur Bagan, the rest stayed with Sri Aurobindo. Page 88 ...

... they were in no mood to listen to his sage advice. High ran their enthusiasm, and their thirst for freedom was driving them to desperate action. Lele met Sri Aurobindo at his residence at 23, Scott's Lane by appointment. He asked Sri Aurobindo whether he was doing meditation regularly every morning and evening, but when he was told that it was not done in that routine way, "he was alarmed, tried... freedom-workers was just biding its time for an organised sweep. Sri Aurobindo knew what was brewing in the atmosphere and heard the rumble of the approaching storm.149 He decided to move from 23 Scott's Lane to another house. All of a sudden an opportunity offered itself. Monoranjan Guha Thakurta, a leading journalist and nationalist worker, had been finding himself hard put to it to run his Bengali ...
