Fort Worth gazette. [volume] (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1891-1898, 1892-02-14

The warm spring breezes from regions Of
the Southern sea have already reached
Fort Worth, ard likewise the man with
hand-organ and monkey. We have been
enjoying those spring breezes for week or
so: we saw the man with hand-organ
and monkey on the day of this writing. Our
readers viii be pleased TO learn that the
monkey Is carrying his age well, and hence
looks about the same as when here some
months ago, but the Eand-orgdn Is appear
ing rather the worse for wear, and its
voice is decidedly more husky than Of yore,
thus more forcibly calling into mind the
lines of Oliver Wendell Holmes relative to
something Of the kind in his own exper-
fence:
You're sitting on your window seat,
Beneath a elOudless moon;
You hear a sound that seems TO wear
The semblance of tune,
As II a broken fife should strive
To drown acracked bassoon.
oYou think they are crusaders, sent
From some interval cline.
To pluck the eyes OF sentiment,
and dock the tail OF rhyme
To crack the voice Of melody,
And break the legs Of time
"But harki the air again is still,
The music all is ground,
And silence, like poultice comes
TO heal the blows OF sound
Itlcan1ot best is--it is
A hat is going round
'sSoi Pay the dentist when he leaves
A fracture in your Jaw.
And pay the owner OF the bear
That stunned you with its paw,
And buy the lobster that has Tad
Your knucRleS in its claw.
But if you are portly man,
Put on your fercest frown,
And talk about u constable
. To turn them out of town.
Then close your sentence with an oath,
And shut the window down,
'And if you are slender man,
Not big enough foS that,
Or If you cannot make speech
Because you are q nat,
Go very quietly and drop
button in the hat.
Poetry says Aristotle, ''is the language
of enthusiasm" We accept this as a true
definition, and would like to impress it upon
the minds of all young writers. Unless
young writers aspiring to fame as poets
can find it in them to write in the language
mentioned by Aristotle, they had best stop
at once and turn their attention to some
other character Of writing, if they continue
to write at all. Out of each 800 persons
who write verses, there Is not more than
one, on an average, who writes poetry.
They are simply prose writers, who go to
the unnecessary pans OIL hunllng out q
rhyme for the end of each line in their com
positions, thus rendering them the very
prosiest Of prose.
We may illustrate our meaning. as
above, by telling little story fixed up with
rhymes at the ends of the lines. OF course
we got poet to manufacture it for us, but,
while he wouldsprobably call IL poetry,
there is really more OF truth than poetry in
it, from end to end. If you like, you may
call it
