PRA YING FOR A POETS DEATH.


PRA YING FOR A POETS DEATH.
There is possible point where the free
dom of comment on individuals is passed,
and that point is seemingly passed by To-
ledo Sunday journal, which in speaking of
the reported illness of Walt Whitman, when
it says: "In the interests of decency, clean
thought and clean writing, even so unchar-
table wish as that death may interrupt
the Whitman flood of lewdness may be in
dulged in" This is exercising the editorial
liberty with zeal that outruns discretion.
The wish here expressed will not hasten
the event that is longed for, and it is gratu-
whatever his mistakes of Judgment, has
conducted himself with proprietY, and is
entitled to the respectful sympathy Of his
fellow citizens. The blots in his poems are
few in number, and his refusal to expunge
the offensive passages is in keeping with the
integrity of the man himself
If we remember correctly he was advised
by Emerson to have greater regard tor the
conventions of society, but Whitman evil
IDENTIFY felt about giving the whole of his
poetry to the public as Wordsworth is said
to have felt about his "Peter Bell" and other
poetical absurdities. He was not writing
poetry to please the British public, but to
illustrate his ideas of the treatment which
poetry ought to allow in dealing with sim
pie things.
Similarly Whitman wrote poems that
might offend some persons by their ndeli-
cacy, his friends would have been glad if
they had not been written, but they worked
in with his theory, they are part of his
idea of the way in which the whole of life
ought to be dealt with and they go with
his poetry rs Robert Herrick's amorous
passages go with his "Hesperdes" No.
body now thinks of roasting Herrick in
Hades because he mingled the clean and un-
clean in his verse.
Whitman has written wonderfully fine
things, as Herrick did, and it is to be judged,
as Herrick is judged and Wordsworth is
judged, by his best. 1t is in excessive bad
taste, to say the least, to wish to hasten his
decease in order to stop the flood of lewd-
ness that might come from him. 1t is the
first time that an American has thus dared
to insult the good gray poet" and it is
hoped that it will be the last We are not
passionate admirers of Whitman, but he
deserves and merits the sympathics of the
literary guild in America, and there is much
in his writings that will enter into the per-
manent parts of American literature Let
his name be honored for his really good
work, and let his unworthy things be for
gotten as speedily as possible.
