ing himself that is, since the world first began, there has been poetry: there have been poets.

In song, man has sought to express the greatnes of his thought, the depths of hiá”emotion.

With incomparable words, so spiritually forged in the soaring heart’s yearning; the poet gives expression to the greatness of his time: its golden illusion of optimism and the sweet mirage of hope; as well as the bitter depths of misery and despair.

Honor with sublime song heralds the dawn of European greatness: the glory of Hellas, Sappho with enigmatic enchantment leaves a few immortal lines on life; the heart’s eternal ache. Pindar hails the delight of muscleencouraging athletics.

Virgil garlands the greatness of Rome with majestic laurels, befitting the lasting glory of that mighty political monument.

Dante shines like a star in the violent turbulence of the middleages; foremost glory of Christendom: the supreme singer of his day and all time.

Shakespeare dips his pen into the enigmatic heart of humanity and wtih cool disdain and passionate irony portrays a world still quivering with life’s haunting dilemma.

Milton roars from the darkness of might with thundering courage the violent struggle of soul and body: the eternal conflict of creator and the created.

Voltaire lashes about with sardonic cruelty: how have the mighty fallen. Valiantly he fought for the right of the unfortunate to participate in acquiring the good things of this world.

Goethe with abounding love views the violence of his time and sings for immortality the soul of man struggling with desperate courage in the battle of circumstance.

Rimband defies an age with his turbulent career, dashes off some splendid lines and with disgust leaves Europe for the dark luring mystery of Africa.

Whitman pulses the mighty beating of America’s heart: the world’s hope; the future enigma. Tenderly he fingers the huge beard: how great, and vast and lonely is America. Deeply he visions . . .

Armoured against the wiles of fate;

I advance upon the world with the sword of hate.

Burn the towns!

Rent the gowns!

Mount the fiery steed of violence and rage;

I dug the spurs deep into my flaming age.

And destruction fell

With everything to hefl.

Storm the ramparts of satisfaction and quiet;

Fait upon everything with fury fight.

Int* unquenchable fire;

And the swords greedy desire.

I .

Hart Crane jumps into the ocean: I have no tears for him. Of great promise to American letters, he deserts his post in life’s battle. And desertion is punishable: life has punished him. Let

the peace he so desperately craved.

Bravely O heart, bravely into life;

Face you greatly with courage incessant strife.

Poets are brave, despite exceptions here and there. The great book of literature glowingly demonstrates their immortal courage. Love and humanity and the passionte desire to enrich with beauty the briefness of life, compels them to carry on.

Venus adored: I am in delirium and pain;

My heart calls to you in vain,

in vain.

Gifts and flowers do I offer to your cool disdain;

Goddess of love, smile: my heart will never complain.

Flowers, flowers, for your dark and lovely hair;

Be beautiful forever; so dazzling and fair.

Intoxicate the eye with charms bewitching and rare;

Capture the heart with one wild glance and dare.

Flowers, flowers, for your lovely hair and bright;

Beautiful be your way through life turbulent and light

Sweet be you forever, may angel, sweet with delight.

You have taken my heart: O swift in flight.

Sing, sing, love my bird of joy;

I give you heart and wings with sweet enjoy.

Reflect upon the man who loved art and song;

His days are swift: his work dear and long.

Intinitively the poet grasps the fundamentals of life; sensitively he reacts to the subtle play of the forces of fate; and with sheer beauty he evokes a mood, a moment, a gragment of eternity for the wonder and delight, of his and succeeding generations.

The beauty of verse, the haunting loveliness of poems and the courage of the poet in daring to live life in order to beautify it — time the world deeply appreciated it all.---- Now We Know —

Son: Father how do countries come to go to war?

Father: For various reasons, now there was Germany and Russia. They went to war because the Russians mobilized.

Mother: Not at all, my dear. It was because the Hungarians —

Father: Tut, tut, my love. Don’t you suppose I know?

Mother: Certainly not — you are all wrong. It was because -—

Father: Mrs. Perkins, I tell you it was because —

Mother: Benjamin, you ought to know, you have boggled —

Father: Your opinion, madam has not been requested in this matter.

Mother: I won’t have my child mistaught by an ignoramus.

Father: Don’t you dare talk to me like that.

Mother: And don’t you dare bristle at me!

Sonr Oh, never mind! I think I know how wars begin.
