Nearly all the other arts have an
official standing. They are endowed,
perpetuated, made part of the appa-
ratus of life. But we are as incredu-
lous of poetry as of the sea serpent,
and the afidavits of those who have
seen the Thing itself do not convince
a sceptical world. Poetry's killing
foe is wealth, and wealth of late has
grown beyond the dreams of avarice.
Money, which can call into existence
many of the arts, which can rear
architectures, lay out gardens, give
to household decoration a sumptuous
beauty impossible topoor ages, which
can even greatly help in the creation
of music and painting-money has
no potency over the proud and dis
dainful muse.
But the future of poetry is i'm
mense, because when actualities op-
press, when utilities task, when,
''tired of all these, for restful death
we cry" all we need do is to open our
books and without struggle to par
take the strife, without effort to at
tain the ease, without putting off
mortality to have part in the immor-
tality of those sole things which show
a semblance of eternal ife-the crea-
tions of the divine poets. Ponce de
Leon sailed far for his fabled foun-
tain of youth, but the wiser man is
he who takes down his Homer or
his Shakespeare and discovers there
in the spring the Spaniard failed to
fnd.-Forum.
