It seems strange that the work of so remarkable a poet as M. André de Lujan, who is, moreover, a great force in the Catholic world, should be comparatively little known in England. Though his last work, Le Miroir Diving has attracted the notice of some of our best reviewers, it has not by any means received the close study it deserves. The Miroir, like the rest of Lujan’s poetry, commends itself to the critic by the fact, only too rare in works of the imagination, that its thoughts and the way in which they are expressed are so harmoniously fused that the reader cannot dissociate the music of the verse from the spiritual life which it reveals. The following short notes, offered by one who has no claim to criticize poetry, are solely meant to draw attention to the philosophical and religious value of the book. The trend of the thought is already familiar from the poetry previously published by M. André de Lujan, a pseudonym borrowed from one of the famous pilgrimage shrines of South America to conceal the real name of a distinguished diplomat. Yet, however great the beauty of his earlier verse, however lofty its intuition, it is now surpassed in the Miroir Divin, where the poetry strikes a note that is quite original in modern literature. Indeed, were we to seek for parallels to André de Lujan among contemporary English or French poets, we should discover them with difficulty. In point of fact, this book of French verse brings to the mind of the English reader the religious poets of the seventeenth century, the mystics Donne and Crashaw, the pious Herbert.
