He missed a Balliol fellowship, but obtained one at See also:Oriel, with a tutorship, and lived the Oxford life of study, See also:speculation, lectures and See also:reading-parties for some years longer

The immediate feeling of See also:relief showed itself in buoyant, if thoughtful, literature, and he published poems both new and old

Smith, and when it disappeared he left England in 1852, and went, encouraged by See also:Emerson, to See also:Cambridge, See also:Massachusetts
.
Here he remained some months, lecturing and translating See also:Plutarch for the See also:book-sellers, until in 1853 the offer of an examinership in the Education See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
Office brought him to London once more
.
He married, and pursued a steady See also:official career, diversified only by an See also:appointment in 1856 as secretary to a See also:commission sent to study certain aspects of See also:foreign military education
.
At this, as at every See also:period of his life, he enjoyed the warm respect and admiration of a small circle of See also:friends, who learnt to look to him alike for unselfish sympathy and for spiritual and See also:practical See also:wisdom
.
In 186o his See also:health began to fail
.
He visited first See also:Malvern and See also:Freshwater, and then the See also:East, See also:France and See also:Switzerland, in See also:search of recovery, and finally came to See also:Florence, where he was struck down by See also:malaria and See also:paralysis, and died on the 13th of See also:November 1861
.
Matthew Arnold wrote upon him the exquisite lament of Thyrsis

See also:CLOVER 561
See also:famine, Clough wrote an ethical pamphlet addressed to the undergraduates, with the See also:title, A See also:Consideration of Objections against the See also:Retrenchment Association at Oxford (1847)
.
His Homeric See also:pastoral The Bothie of Toper-na-Fuosich, afterwards rechristened Tober-na-Vuolich (1848), was inspired by a See also:long vacation after he had given up his tutorship, and is full of See also:socialism, reading-party humours and Scottish scenery
.
See also:Ambarvalia (1849), published jointly with his friend Thomas Burbidge, contains shorter poems of various See also:dates from 184o, or earlier, onwards
.
Amours de Voyage, a novel in See also:verse, was written at Rome in 1849; Dipsychus, a rather amorphous See also:satire, at See also:Venice in 185o; and the idylls which make up Mari Magno, or Tales on See also:Board, in 1861
.
A few lyric and elegiac pieces, later in date than the Ambarvalia, See also:complete the See also:tale of Clough's See also:poetry
.
His only considerable enterprise in See also:prose was a revision of the 17th See also:century See also:translation of Plutarch by See also:Dryden and others, which occupied him from 1852, and was published as Plutarch's Lives (1859)
.
No See also:part of Clough's life was wholly given up to poetry, and he probably had not the See also:gift of detachment necessary to produce See also:great literature in the intervals of other occupations
.
He wrote but little, and even of that little there is a good See also:deal which does not aim at the highest seriousness
.
He never became a great craftsman
.
A few of his best lyrics have a strength of See also:melody to match their See also:depth of thought, but much of what he left consists of See also:rich ore too imperfectly fused to make a splendid or permanent See also:possession
.
Nevertheless, he is rightly regarded, like his friend Matthew Arnold, as one of the most typical English poets of the See also:middle of the 19th century
.
His critical instincts and strong ethical temper brought him athwart the popular ideals of his See also:day both in conduct and See also:religion
.
His verse has upon it the See also:melancholy and the perplexity of an See also:age of transition
.
He is a sceptic who by nature should have been with the believers
.
He stands between two worlds, watching one crumble behind him, and only able to look forward by the sternest exercise of faith to the reconstruction that lies ahead in the other
.
On the technical See also:side, Clough's See also:work is interesting to students of See also:metre, owing to the experiments which he made, in the Bothie and elsewhere, with English hexameters and other types of verse formed upon classical See also:models
.
Clough's Poems were collected, with a See also:short memoir by F
.
T
.
See also:Palgrave, in 1862; and his Letters and Remains, with a longer memoir, were privately printed in 1865

Both volumes were published together in 1869 and have been more than once reprinted
