A Channel Passage

Description

Rupert Chawner Brooke, his middle name at times spelled as “Chaucer;” was a British poet famous for his principled war sonnets composed throughout The Great War, particularly “The Soldier.” He was also referred for his pretty face, which were told to have impelled the Irish poet W. B. Yeats to describe him as “the handsomest young man in England.”

Rupert befriended some of the Bloomsbury group of writers, most of whom adored his skills while others were more stunned by his handsomeness. Virginia Woolf bragged to Vita Sackville-West of while going one night skinny-dipping with Rupert when they went together in Cambridge.

Rupert joined another literary circle referred as the Georgian Poets and was among the highly influential of the Dymock poets, affiliated with the Gloucestershire village of Dymock where he stayed for the time being before the conflict. He also dwelled in the Old Vicarage, Grantchester.

Rupert gone through a serious emotional dilemma, because of his gender misperception as he was bisexual and envy, because he was broken heartedness with his lifelong relationship with Ka Cox or Katherine Laird Cox. Rupert thought that Lytton Strachey had plotted to ruin his relationship with Ka by heartening her to date Henry Lamb led to his heart break with his Bloomsbury group friends and caused a stir in his nervous breakdown and was brought to rehabilitation jaunts to Germany.

Rupert traveled the United States and Canada, as part of his recovery, to jot down his travel journals for the Westminster Gazette. He chose to travel the longer route, voyaging crossways the Pacific and spending a few months in the South Seas. To a large extent, it was shown that he might have been the father of a daughter with a Tahitian woman whose name was Taatamata with whom he is likely to have reveled in his much fulfilling poignant relationship.
