And one from me:

King's College Chapel

When to the music of Byrd or Tallis,
The ruffed boys singing in the blackened stalls,
The candles lighting the small bones on their faces,
The Tudors stiff in marble on the walls,

There comes to evensong Elizabeth or Henry,
Rich with brocade, pearl, golden lilies, at the altar,
The scarlet lions leaping on their bosoms,
Pale royal hands fingering the crackling psalter,

Henry is thinking of his lute and of backgammon,
Elizabeth follows the waving song, the mystery,
Proud in her red wig and green jewelled favours;
They sit in their white lawn sleeves, as cool as history.

(One of my favourite poems.)

Answer 2

Causley was born in Launceston in Cornwall and was educated there and in Peterborough. In the Second World War he served in the Navy, an experience he later wrote about in a book of short stories, Hands to Dance. In the 1950s he began publishing his poetry, some of which continued the sea-faring theme. In the post-war years he trained as a teacher and worked at a school in Launceston. He was also employed by the BBC. He spent the remainder of his life in Cornwall, a county he became intimately asscociated with. As well as poetry and plays and short stories he also wrote opera librettos. In 1958 Causley was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and was awarded a CBE in 1986. Other awards include the Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry in 1967 and a Cholmondeley Award in 1971. In 1973 - 1974 he was Visiting Fellow in Poetry at the University of Exeter. He was presented with the Heywood Hill Literary Prize in 2000. Between 1962 and 1966 he was a member of the Poetry Panel of the Arts Council of Great Britain.

In 1982, on his 65th birthday, a book of poems was published in his honour that included contributions from Ted Hughes, Seamus Heaney, Philip Larkin and twenty three other poets, testifying to the respect that the British poetry community had for him. Despite this, his work is rarely considered as part of a movement or group and his influence on his contemporaries would seem to be small. Many considered him, like John Betjeman to be a man working outside of the dominant trends of the poetry of his day. Because of this, academia has paid less attention to his work than it might. His popularity, particularly among the Cornish, remains relatively high.

Answer 3

I am the Great Sun

From a Normandy crucifix of 1632
by Charles Causley

I am the great sun, but you do not see me,
I am your husband, but you turn away.
I am the captive, but you do not free me,
I am the captain but you will not obey.
I am the truth, but you will not believe me,
I am the city where you will not stay.
I am your wife, your child, but you will leave me,
I am that God to whom you will not pray.
I am your counsel, but you will not hear me,
I am your lover whom you will betray.
I am the victor, but you do not cheer me,
I am the holy dove whom you will slay.
I am your life, but if you will not name me,
Seal up your soul with tears, and never blame me.


Charles Causley was born and has lived, apart from six years in the Royal Navy during the Second World War, in Launceston, Cornwall. In 1990 he was awarded the Ingersol/TS Eliot Award, given to authors "of abiding importance whose work affirms the moral principles of western civilisation". This poem appears in Collected Poems, published by Macmillan at £25.
This item was reprinted as one of the Independent's daily poems in 1996. PS. I think he died in 2006
