LITERARY NOTES.
Mr.. Roosevelt's Book Review.

In the current Outlook Mr. Theo-
dore Roosevelt, President of the Uni
ted States, reviews the volume entitled
1.-The Children of the Night" by Ed
ward Arlington Robinson, published
by Richard G.. Badger & Co, Boston.
Mr.. Roosevelt says:
The twilight of the poets" has been
especially gray in America; for poetry
is, of course, one of those arts in
which the smallest amount of work
of the very highest clasc is worth an
infinity of ~ood work that is not of
the highest class. The touch of the
purple makes a poem out of verse,
and if it is not there, there is no sub
stitute. 1t is hard to account for the
failure to produce in America of re-
cent years poet who in the world
Of letters will rank as high as GER
tain American sculptors and painters
rank in the world of art.
But individual poems appear from
time to time, by Mr.. Madison Cawein,
by Mr.. Clinton Scollard, by DR.. Maui
rice Egan, and others; and more rare
ly a little volume of poetry appears,
like Bliss Carman's Ballads of Lost
Haven Such book is Edward Ar
lington Robinson's The Children of
the Night
1t is rather curious that Mr.. Robin
sons volume should not have attract
ed more attention. There is an I'M
doubted touch of genius in the poems
collected in this volume, and a curious
simplicity and good faith, all of which
qualities differentiate them sharply
from ordinary collections of the kind
There is in them just a little of the
light that never was on land or sea
and in such lights the objects de-
scribed often have nebulOus outlines;
but it is not always necessary in or
Il 20 Lnt .hn1y Ia
be able to translate it into terms of
mathematical accuracy. Indeed, those
who admire the coloring of Turner,
those who like to read hOW-and to
wonder why-Childe Roland to the
Dark Tower Came, do not wish always
to have the ideas presented to them
with cold, hard, definite outlines; and
to a man with poetic temperament
it is inevitable that life should often
appear clothed with a certain sad mys-
ticiSm. In the present volume | am not
sure that / understand Luke Haver-
gal": but 1 am entirely sure that l
like it.

George Bancroft, the historian. left
very complete collection of diaries
and letters of his long life as Ameri-
can diplomat and as an historian of
world wide reputation. He was from
his youth brought in contact with the
most noted men here and in Europe.
The first instalment of these letters
and diaries, which are edited by NJ
A. DeWOlfe Howe, has to do with his
student days in Europe, early in the
nineteenth century. He went to the
German Universities in 1918, and was
among the first American students in
that pioneer band. His first impress
sions of the great professors, whose
reputation is now a memory are
bright and amusing: one entry for
1919 begins: Il visited Goethe to-
ward noon; he was talkative and af-
fable, etc" The men whom he knew
and the dignity of his long life make
these Bancroft Letters a contribution
to the permanent documents of bio
graphical literature.
