lanes Whitcomb Riley.

flames Whitoomb Riley is one of the
two or three living American writer's OF
verse who really possess originality"
SAYS Walter Blackburn Harte in The
April New England Magazine. "He
draws upon the experiences OF his own
life and the life of those among whom he
has grown up for most of his material.
He turns to nature, and not to Austin
Dobson or Andrew Lang or Frederick
Locker for his inspiration.
Perhaps the great secret of his charm
is that he il, as Sam Walter Fose, him.
self a poet, has aptly put it, "A student
of hearts, q savant of sentiment, and his
books are living men, He is not q
great poet, but he strikes q responsive
chord in the hearts of the simple; they
read with delight and say, Here is one
of ourselves and so James Whitoomb
Riley, possessing this power of simpli:
city, is q true poet. BE is the poet OF
hearts-the poet of the people;
and, too, he reveals in his
work q real knowledge of
and sympathy with nature. His poems
of the woods and the fields are not those
of q drawing room poet in the country
for an excursion. There are those of q
careful observer, of . true countryman.
and a poet who feels the shadows and
sounds of dawn, and MONDAY, sunset
and night. He is exceedingly felicitous
in his phrasing. His poems stick like a
burr IN the memory. One reads the
works of greater poets and forget their
lines; but the simple, homely vers. s OF
James Whitcomb Riley come brck to
one again and again, with the refresh
ing quiet of childhood memories and
and the patchy pictures of long, dreamy
days in the woods and f.lds lived long
ago., when one cbafed at their silence,
ignorant of the i%mprisoning noise of the
CITY. 1t is not given to every man to be
at once popular and a poet. Riley is
one of those rare singers of humble life
Who secure popularity without being
compelled to forfeit their intellectual
Integrity by pandering to a public,
which demands the surrender of the
artist and the triumph of the buffoon,
before a%oolaiming him. He lacks the
broad outlook upon life, and the grass
Of it's deeper problems which made
Burns the greatest poet of humanity
who aver lived; but in his smaller way
James Whitcomb Riley is the Burns OF
contemporary American literature. He
is a poet of the common people, end he
uses the vernacular of the common PEG
pie. The greatest art is in the capacity
OF recalling childish impressions and
presenting them with the freshness Of
the childish imagination; and this rare
faculty is strongly developed in the au-
thor of Rhymes of Childhood, Pipes
O'Pan, Old Fashioned Roses, and
Neighborly Poems. i'his is genins.
