There are more things in heaven and earth Horatio
Than are dreamed ofin our philosophy.
P. D. Q. SHAKESPEARE.
"Sonse on scraps OF learning dote
And think they grow immortal as they quote
We have just awakened to the knowledge
that in our midst lives a real live poet; not u
puny inditer of sonnets and rhymes, but a
pupil of the grand Homeric school, who, from
his barnyard throne, sends forth his blank
verse to the world. Notwithstanding his po-
etical fantasies he is worldly wise. Before
starting his readers into the subject matter of
his effusion, he draws their attention to sign
post, whereon is written the complete synopis
of the drama and the dramatis persona.
We have said this is wise and verify it is so,
for, when struggling though the labarynth of
poetic thought and the verbosity of expression
we are tempted to say with the poet: Get
thee to ginnery, oh noble old Roman, sand
paper thy skull, and when thou essayest again
to appear in print use thy native tongue and
offend not our ears with thy jargon. Go and
sin no more. SHORTY.
