Another New poet.

In these days it is so seldom that
new poet attracts any real attention
that when one does it is occasion for re-
mark. Now that the wise men have
thoroughly diagnosed the case of Mr.
William Vaughan Moody and assured
US that he is the genuine goods as re-
CARDS latter-day poetry, they have turn
ed to another young singer, Mr.. Herbert
Trench, author of ''Deirdre Wed, and
other Poems. !" The New York Times
Saturday review wakes eloquent over
MN at some length, as follows:
Herbert Trench the author of "Deir
Dire Wed and Other Poems'' deserves to
pc widely known among lovers of poetry
IN this country. He has already rnade
ms voice heard in Britain, and the "cho-
rus of fndolent reviewers sings his
praises in 'full-throated ease 70 sing
the praise of real singer is a Joyous
task, and Mr.. Trench is indeed a new
voice VOC in the choir of the high priests of
letters. He sings with loftiness of ut
terance. a flaming imagination. dentb
OF intellectual mastery SO rare in these
times as to make all the effect of a new
sospel. AS one Of his English admirers

scholarly expression, are not uncom-

Seeing that our footing on the Earth
Seeing that her multitudes sweep out to
Mccking at all that passes their belief.
For standard of our love not theirs we
take;
If we go hence today.
Fill the high cup that is so soon to break
With richer wine than they
Ay since beyond these walls no heaven

Joy to revive or wasted youth repair,
I'll not bedim' the lovely flame in thee,
Nor sully the sad splendor that we
wear.
Our greatness past recall,
And nobler for the fading or those eyes
The world seen once for all.
Then comes this final burst of eulogy:.
Let it be said in conclusion that there is
a genuine poet, who has splendor of
conception who sounds depths and scars
to heights of thought beyond the ken
of the mere singer and who has worked
out the niceties of his art with a reverent
devotion. He has noble things to say;
he has glowing fancies with which to
illumine them. and he has originality and
beauty of phrase in which to. enshrlne
both thought and fancy
Well, that sounds very beautiful and
inspiring Indeed, it is important if true.
But do the verses quoted fully sustain
the glowing prophecy? VIII the critics
forgive those of us. who, incur perverse
old-fashionedness, linger amid such fas-
tidious old wrecks as Keats and Poe and
Wordsworth and Tennyson, too content
with their "sonorous phrase" to run aft

humping kettle-dru of sentiment at
the windows of red-paint advertising pub
fishers. OF course, it is heresy, but still

RiIex nnn AIdrich.


A reader in the New York Times Sat
urday Review thinks he has discovered
that James Whitcomb Riley has little
secret fun with Thomas Bailey Aldrich,'
and suggests that Rileys well-known
poem, The Sunny Shower is par
ody'' on Aldricn's after the Rain. Here
are the two poems:
The rain has ceased, and in my room
The sunshine pours an airy food;
And on the church's dizzy vane
The ancient cross is bathed in blood.
From out the dripping ivy leaves,
Antiquely carven, gray and high,
A dorner, facing westward, looks
Upon the village Ike an eye.
And now it glinmers in the sun,
a square of gold, a disk, a Speck;,
And in the belfry sits a dove
With purple ripples on her neck
Thomas Bailey Aldrieh.
The last three stanzas of Mr.. Riley's
"a Sudden Shower read:
A swallow dips beneath the caves.
And firts and plumes and folds his
And under the catawba leaves
Hi'he caterpillar curves and clings.
The bumble-bee is pelted down
The wet stem of the hollyhock;
And sulienly, in spattered brown,
The cricket leaps the garden walk.
Within, the baby claps his hands
And crows with rapture strange and
vague;
Without, beneath rosebush stands
a dripping rooster on one leg.
The comparison is certainly interesting,
but it is rather original indeed to speak
of Mr. Riley's verses as "a parody on
the lines Of Aldrich. Both poems are
typical of the two writers-Mr. Aldrich S

Meredith and Hardy.

Writing in the International Monthly,
Edmund Gosse Saws:
1t is to be noted that, although Mr..
George Meredith is some twelve years
the senior of Mr. Thomas Hardy, the
general acceptance of these two great
writers by the critics dates from about
the same Tina. Indeed if we admit that
it. was The Return of the Native in
Ha"dy,s genius, it was not until the
pCoEcation of The Egoist,' in 1879, that
Mr. Meredith was granted a like i'm

most influential English reviewers after
careful and by no means iIl-natured
examination of 'Beauchamp's Career
rose from the perusal of this book with
a CONVICTION that it is not a novelist
that Mr.. Meredith can look for a per-
manent name in literature. AS critic
on an essaylSt there is probably a career
open to- him. 1t is well to bear in mind
that such things could be said as late
as 1876 without exciting protest from
any any but friends and close admirers OF

In the midst of much unlikeness the
two .novelists,, whose rise we have been
considering, have this in common, a.
strenuous determination to express in.

experiences which distinguished each of
them from all other human beings. In
each we have a man who puts the trivial
and the oft-repeated surface tricks be-
hind him. who will stoop to nothing
which he knows to be insignificant be-
cause he thinks that it will please, and
who deals always with great emotions as
he personally has seen them revealed in
the words and actions of living men and
women. By dint OF the earnestness with
which these two great imaginative writ
ers have approached life, something har-
monious and stately has transferred it.
self to their pages. In Mr.. Meredith it
is the sparkle and rhythm of divine
and incommunicable grace, the melodious
movement of dancer. In Mr.. Hardy
1t is the impressive solidity the suf-
fusion, the strength the fulIness of color
in a solemn landscape. But the more
we reflect the less can we trace re-
semblance between two authors, whose
