FINISHED POETRY

Patient Labor as Much as Fiue Frenzy
Factor In Its Production,
There are yet some persons left who
fancy that poetry is the product of a
fine frenzy; that the poet genius awskes
from a sublimated cataleptic trance to
fill page after page with effortless
beatitudes. A number of manuscript
sheets Of Longfellow's Excelsior, !"
which may be found in Harvard, should
not only explode this theory, but give
hope to many discouraged amateur
AS Longfellow first constructed the frs
verse of this poem it ran:
The shades of night were falling fast
AS through an Alpine village passed
A youth who, as the peasants sung,
Responded in an unknown tongue,
Excelsior.
This was manifestly weak, as the
only obvious reason why the Alpine
peasants sung was that they might af-
ford rhyme for the youths response
in an unknown tongue. A second trial
at the verse, however, not only failed to
improve it, but arranged it in such
form that it g difficult to believe Long.
fellow guilty of the fault. The last two
lines of the verse were made to read:
A youth who bore psarl of price,
A banner with the strange device.
There are not many, even among the
magazine poets of today, who would
consent to refer to banner as ''a pearl
of price But the poet had by this time
three lines to his liking, and the substi
tuition of ga youth who bore mid snow
and ice" completed the verse as it has
been read and spoken throughout tbs
length ard breadth of the land, all OF
] which gees to show that the genius OF
the poet is in the conception, and that
the production of the poem, being quite
another matter, lies solely in the direc-

where the convicts, clanking in their
chains, were still at work A boat was
found, rowed by some sailors, who GER
tainly did not wear chains, but who
were otherwise not very unlike those

the boatmen left off rowing. They put
down their oars. and one Of them began
talking volubly, though 1 could not IN

men paid no attention, struggling their
shoulders and waiting as if they were
determined never to row another stroke.
Then the steamer sent up two more
rockets, which rose through the twi-
light, bidding us hurry, and then sud

standing tall and erect and in an anger
such as had never seen him in before

relief, the nell seemed frightened; they
took to their oars again and began to

we got on board the ship, they told us
it was well known trick the Genoese
boatmen were in the habit of playing
upon travellers and that they would have
sent boat for Us if we had delayed any
