Notes on the libretto by Michael Ward C.S. Lewis (1898-1963), though best known for his Narnia Chronicles and works of popular theology, was professionally neither a fiction-writer nor a theologian. He was a medieval literary critic and historian who taught English at Magdalen College, Oxford for nearly thirty years and finished his career as Professor of Medieval and Renaissance English at the University of Cambridge. As a medievalist, Lewis had a deep interest in the old view of the cosmos, the pre-Copernican model, in which Earth was central and surrounded by the seven heavens, each heaven with its own planet, and each planet with its peculiar attributes and influences. Lewis described these seven planets as “spiritual symbols of permanent value”, which were “especially worth while in our own generation”. It is from these seven planets, of course, that we derive the names of the days of the week. Lewis wrote about them from a scholarly point of view in The Discarded Image; from a poetic point of view in his long alliterative poem, “The Planets”; and from a narrative point of view in his Ransom Trilogy. He also based the whole of the Narniad on the imagery of the medieval planets, assigning a planet to each story.1 In this musical portrait of C.S. Lewis, these seven spiritual symbols become a series of lenses through which to view his life. The seven movements follow the order of the days of the week (beginning on a Monday, finishing on a Sunday) and, with a little overlapping in places, correspond to periods of Lewis’s biography. The sung text is taken from the collection of Orphic hymns (The Mystical Hymns of Orpheus), translated by Thomas Taylor (1792) and lines from the Psalms, Saint Luke, Saint John, Shakespeare, Shelley, Joseph Addison, Thomas Lodge, and C. S. Lewis. Lewis refers to the Orphic Hymns in Modern Man and His Categories of Thought and in Neoplatonism in the Poetry of Spenser, and twice in his letters2 he quotes Shelley’s line “language is a 3 perpetual Orphic song”. Further, in another letter he writes: “At nihil eorum quae superscripsi prohibet quin constet inter omnes humanam sermonem esse Orphicum carmen.” [But nothing of what I have written above forbids general agreement amongst everyone that an Orphic poem should be a topic for human conversation.]

Michael Ward Planet Narnia, The Seven Heavens in the Imagination of C.S. Lewis (Oxford University Press, 2008) 2 Letters to Owen Barfield (8 February 1939) and Dorothy L. Sayers (14 November 1954) 3 Letter to Owen Barfield (10 September 1927)

THE MOON (1898-1914) Lewis was born in Belfast, second son of Albert and Flora, and baptized by his grandfather, The Revd Thomas Hamilton. Not liking his given names of Clive and Staples, Lewis was known as Jack from an early age. As a youngster and throughout his life, Jack would experience inconsolable longings, which he called “Joy” (hence the title of his autobiography, Surprised by Joy) and eventually understood as intimations of immortality. His mother died when he was nine years old, and within a few weeks of her death he was sent over the Irish Sea to be educated in England. His first school was run by a sadistic headmaster, Robert Capron, who was later certified insane and died in a lunatic asylum. As his teenage years began, Lewis abandoned the Christian faith in which he had been raised. He experienced an increasing tension between his imaginative and his rational faculties. “The two hemispheres of my mind were in the sharpest contrast. On the one side a many-islanded sea of poetry and myth; on the other a glib and shallow rationalism. Nearly all that I loved I believed to be imaginary; nearly all that I believed to be real I thought grim and meaningless.”

HEAR, beauteous queen, diffusing silver light, Light canoe and drifting through the gloom of Night. With stars surrounded, and with circuit wide Night’s torch extending, through the heavens you ride: Fair lamp of Night, its ornament and friend, Who givest to Nature’s works their destined end. Orphic hymns VIII To the Moon

Daughter of Jove and sister to the Sun. Thomas Lodge

MARS (1914-1930) In 1914 Jack was withdrawn from public school by his father and sent to be tutored privately by a retired headmaster, William Kirkpatrick. Kirkpatrick, an ultra-logical rationalist, strengthened Jack’s philosophical and argumentative side, training him for study at the University of Oxford, where Jack obtained a Triple First in Classics and English. His time as an undergraduate was interrupted by service in the First World War and marred by a growing estrangement from his father, Albert. Jack served as a Second Lieutenant in the Somerset Light Infantry, arriving in the French trenches on his nineteenth birthday. He was badly wounded in the spring offensive of 1918 and was invalided back to England. He resumed his studies, graduated and began to teach at Oxford. After he was no longer dependent on his father, their relationship improved. Albert died in 1929. The following year, Lewis abandoned his unbelief and became a theist: “I gave in, and admitted that God was God, and knelt and prayed: perhaps, that night, the most dejected and reluctant convert in all England . . . The words compelle intrare, compel them to come in, have been so abused by wicked men that we shudder at them; but, properly understood, they plumb the depth of the Divine mercy. The hardness of God is kinder than the softness of men, and His compulsion is our 1iberation.”

Compelling, unconquered, boistrous Mars, In darts rejoicing, and in bloody wars Fierce and untamed, whose mighty power can make The strongest walls from their foundations shake: Stay, furious contests, and avenging strife, Whose works with woe, embitter human life; Encourage peace, to gentle works inclined, And give abundance, with benignant mind. Orphic hymns LXIV To Mars

Compelle intrare. Luke 14:23, quoted by Lewis in Surprised by Joy

The hand that made [them] is divine. Joseph Addison

MERCURY (1926-1945) In 1926 Jack made the acquaintance of a colleague in the Oxford English faculty whose name was J.R.R. Tolkien. Their friendship would prove to be one of the most momentous of the 20th century; it formed the kernel of that group of writers known as the Inklings. Tolkien, a devout Catholic, was instrumental in guiding Jack from theism to Christianity, and Jack, in turn, would be instrumental in encouraging Tolkien to write The Lord of the Rings. In 1931, Tolkien and Lewis, along with a third friend, Hugo Dyson, had a long conversation in Addison’s Walk in the grounds of Magdalen College, where Jack was now a Fellow and Tutor. This conversation led, a few weeks later, to Lewis’s Christian conversion, which happened in the sidecar of his brother’s motorcycle on the way to Whipsnade Zoo. “They have spoiled Whipsnade since then,” Lewis wrote. “Wallaby Wood, with the birds singing overhead, and the bluebells underfoot, and the wallabies hopping all round one, was almost Eden come again.” After his conversion, Jack gave up his ambition to be known as a poet (he had already published two volumes of verse and is now memorialized in Poets’ Corner, Westminster Abbey), and began instead to focus on writing prose works in many different genres, including philosophy (The Abolition of Man), satire (The Screwtape Letters), and science fiction (The Ransom Trilogy). This period also saw his emergence as a distinguished literary scholar, with works such as The Allegory of Love and A Preface to Paradise Lost. He became famous as a broadcaster on the BBC (delivering talks that would later be published as Mere Christianity) and as a fearsome debater at the Socratic Club in Oxford.

Studious of contests, ruler of mankind, With heart almighty, and a prudent mind. Celestial messenger, of various skill, Whose powerful arts could watchful Argus kill: With power endued all language to explain, Of care the loosener, and the source of gain. Assist my works, conclude my life with peace, Give graceful speech, and memory’s increase. Orphic hymns XXVII To Mercury

And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. John 1

JUPITER (1939-1956) Depressed in 1939 at the outbreak of another war, Jack wrote to a friend, “What state of affairs in this world can we view with satisfaction? If we are unhappy, then we are unhappy. If we are happy, then we remember that the crown is not promised without the cross . . . But ‘would it were evening, Hal, and all well.’ I have even, I’m afraid, caught myself wishing that I had never been born.” The quotation from Shakespeare’s Falstaff is characteristic, for Lewis generally had a Falstaffian joie de vivre and enjoyed a sanguine, rather than a melancholic, humour. When teaching about medieval cosmology in his university lectures, he would say, “Those born under Jupiter are apt to be loudvoiced and red-faced.” He would then pause and add, “It is obvious under which planet I was born”, which always produced a laugh. In the face of so much Saturnine disaster in the 20th century, Lewis wrote: “Of Saturn we know more than enough, but who does not need to be reminded of Jove?” Jove (Jupiter) was “the best planet”, symbolically speaking, who brought about “winter passed and guilt forgiven”, and was held to be responsible for all things kingly, festive, and truly noble. Lewis’s greatest fictional character – Aslan, the lion king of the Narnia Chronicles – illustrates the continuing fruitfulness of his naturally Jovial personality, even in the face of unrelenting Saturnine circumstances.

O Jove much-honoured, Jove supremely great, To thee our holy rites we consecrate, The earth is thine, and mountains swelling high, The sea profound, and all within the sky. Even Nature trembles at thy mighty nod, Loud-sounding, armed with lightning, thundering God. Source of abundance, purifying king, O various-formed from whom all natures spring; Orphic hymns XIV To Jupiter

Joy and jubilee. C S Lewis from ‘The Planets’

VENUS (1956-1960) In 1956, Jack married Joy Davidman, a New York writer. Their marriage was initially only a legal convenience, designed to enable her to go on living in England after her visa expired, and they did not live together as man and wife. Shortly after their secret, civil wedding, Joy fell seriously ill with bone cancer and was expected to die. Faced with this prospect, they regularized their relationship and were married a second time, in a Christian ceremony at Joy’s hospital bedside. The priest who married them also prayed for Joy’s healing. Miraculously, so they believed, her cancer went into remission and she and Jack had a brief but very happy marriage, during which time they had a belated honeymoon in his native Ireland and fulfilled a life-long wish by visiting Greece. Joy’s disease returned after three years and she died in 1960 at the age of 45. This poignant period in Lewis’s life is dramatized in the film Shadowlands.

’Tis thine the world with harmony to join, For all things spring from thee, O power divine. The circling choirs of mortals, thy delight, Or beauteous nymphs, with eyes cerulean bright, And beauteous daughters in the chorus join, Adonis pure to sing and thee divine; Come, all-attractive to my prayer inclined, For thee, I call, with holy, reverent mind. Orphic hymns LIV To Venus

Thou wert my morning star among the living. Shelley

SATURN (1960-1963) Jack wrote about the loss of his wife in A Grief Observed. It is a short but devastating journal of bereavement, asking unflinchingly all the hardest and darkest questions. Twice in the book, Lewis refers to Christ’s cry of dereliction on the cross, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Lewis did not lose his faith, but neither did he shrink from acknowledging the pains and struggles inherent in mortal life. A Grief Observed contains many of the same thoughts and reflections that we find in his earlier “Five Sonnets”, with their memorable image of a bee bumping against a window and having to submit to the terror of being wrapped inside a handkerchief in order to be released into the garden. Within a few years of his wife’s death, Lewis himself became ill and resigned from his professorial chair. He died at his Oxford home, The Kilns, on Friday 22nd November 1963, the same day (indeed, the same hour) that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. He is buried in the churchyard of Holy Trinity, Headington Quarry. On his gravestone is a line from King Lear, “Men must endure their going hence.” This text was chosen by Lewis’s brother because it had appeared on the family’s Shakespeare calendar the day their mother died.

Consumed by thee all forms that hourly die, By thee restored, their former place supply; The world immense in everlasting chains, Strong and ineffable thy power contains Father of vast eternity, divine, O mighty Saturn, various speech is thine: The sacred rites benevolent attend, And grant a blameless life, a blessed end. Orphic hymns XII To Saturn

Men must endure their going hence. Shakespeare

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Psalm 22:1, quoted by Lewis in A Grief Observed

THE SUN At the time of his death, Lewis was readying for publication two works, which both appeared posthumously in 1964. One was The Discarded Image, his scholarly treatment of the medieval and renaissance view of the cosmos, whose structure and traditional associations we have relied upon so extensively in this musical portrait. The other was Letters to Malcolm, a book about prayer, in which Lewis wrote of his hope for resurrection: “My hope is that we shall return and re-assume the wealth we laid down. Then the new earth and sky, the same yet not the same as these, will rise in us as we have risen in Christ. And once again, after who knows what aeons of the silence and the dark, the birds will sing out and the waters flow, and lights and shadows move across the hills and the faces of our friends laugh upon us with amazed recognition. Guesses, of course, only guesses. If they are not true, something better will be. For we know that we shall be made like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.” This final movement begins and concludes with the motto of the University of Oxford, which is taken from Psalm 27: “Dominus illuminatio mea” (The Lord is my light).

Dominus illuminatio mea Psalm 27

Lord of the seasons, with thy fiery car And leaping coursers, beaming light from far: Agile and vigorous, venerable Sun, Fiery and bright around the heavens you run. With various founding, golden lyre, ’tis mine To fill the world with harmony divine. Orphic hymns VII To the Sun

Dominus illuminatio mea Psalm 27

Amen.
