More About Poetry.

Occasion arose a few Sundays ago
to speak in these columns Of real.
old-fashioned poetry" Subsequently,
in some comment on the distress
which now rules in the heart of
that idealist. Hall Game. 1t was sug-
gested that Dante Gabriel Rosetti was
neither healthful nor normal. And
now comes q correspondent, who uses
scented paper, and so is suspected OF
being a gentle young lady with Ian
guorous eyes. to take us to. task in
these words:
Your writings on the poets and Hall
Caine are not sympathetic TO the spirit
OF the masters OF pOetical thought and
imaginative art. because they show that
your attitude Is not what 1t would be IL
YOU really loved art. True art knows
neither convention or morals. II Is IT
self the highest convention for all who
follow II reverently. IL you Will only
cnCe just cite some Of the poetry which
you call real old-fashioned poetry (Of
course all poetry IS poetry and none of
II IS ever out Of fashion, you will do
your readers who are able to appreciate
Rosetti and his cOmpeers a great service
anC answer your own mean attacks at
the same time.
Naturally. this demand that We
deliver the goods is a little discon-
eerting. Gray's ''Elegy" might do,
or Shakespeare's Quality of Mercy"
But. of course, neither of them is
art, because they have something to
do with morals. Byron is the great
est immoralist who comes TO mind.
and he really belongs to the hot
house school The Times once ven
tured to asperse. II is going to be
hard 10 find any old-fashioned poetry
which has nothing to do with morals.
There is a passage in The Light
Of Asia" which an unpoetical school
ma'am made her class learn in the
public schools some years ago, that
perhaps may meet our young CORES
pondent's standards. It describes a
ride Of the Prince Siddartha when the
world was spread before him for his
first sight:
All things spoke peace and plenty. and
the prince
Saw and -rejoieed But. looking deep. he
saw
The thorns which grew upon this rose
OF lifes
How the swart peasant sweated for his
wage,
Toiling Tor leave 10 live: and how he
The gTeat-eyed oxen through the flaming
hours,
Coz ding their velvet IA yrIys-t,,a,, ,,arl,al
he too,
How lizard fed on ant. and anaks on
him.
And kite on both; and how the FISH hawk
robbed
The hsh-tiger of that which 1t had
seized;
The shrike chasing the bulbul. which did
chase
The jeweIed butterflies: till everywhere
Each slew a slayer and in turn was
slain,
Life living upon death.
There is some real. old-fashioned
poetry by one who loved art. But
even it does not meet the test. for il
seems TO have some connection. some
where, with morals. Maybe the
young lady is right. Maybe real,
old-fashioned poetry is no good after
all
