Note 1, Chapter 2 of the author's The Alien Vision of Victorian Poetry: Sources of the Poetic Imagination in Tennyson, Browning, and Arnold which Princeton University Press published in 1952. It has been included in the Victorian web with the kind permisison of the late author's family.
Twenty years later in the collected Poems of 1869 Arnold replaced this stanza with one which shows a significant change in emphasis:
Thy native world stirs at thy feet unknown,
Yet there thy secret lies!
Out of this stuff, these forces, thou art grown,
And proud self-severance from them were disease.
0 scan thy native world with pious eyes!
High as thy life be risen, 'tis from these;
And these, too, rise.
