AT NIGHTFALL.

ienry Bryan BinnS. in The Academy
Now let the thoughts of time go by
Needs of the body and the mind -
The busy sun is lost behind
The hills. and ali the meadows lie
Under the eternal sky.
Now Danish fancy, thought and care
Into their woods bid them BECOME
Their busy day is out and done;
For silence now must thou prepare
Breathing the immortal air.
Thy cares go. giving thee release
Into the silence of the night
While star and star across the height
Measures the spaces of thy peace
When thy cares go by and cease
But when thy heart is free from stain.
Washed as in waters infinite
From every care that cIouded II.
With the morning thou wilt fain
Take the thoughts of time again

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY IS, 1905.

Mr. Havelock Ellis writing in the "Contem-
porary' about the Celtic spirit in literature,
has some interesting things to say about that
spirit-a subject On which, as many writers
have shown, il is easy to be dull. At the close
of his essay he observes: q have said nothing
of the Celtic movement From the point OF
view of great literature there is no Celtic
movement in the petty sense in which 1t IS
generally understood nor are great poets the
outcome of such movements" This ought TO
be obvious TO the wayfaring man. but as
matter Of fact one of the ahsurdest results
of the absurd craze for the writing of Celtic
poetry" las been the development of an idea
that the authors of these rhymes are sharing
IN sort of magical movement They are
sharing in the exploitation of Il fad. Any mod
erately accomplished writer can turn you out
Celtic poem Just as he can turn you out SON
net ballade or willamette. The trick is rs
simple as winling. All you have to do is to talk
about miSts, glamour, purple dawns, uGfathom-
able eyes, and so on, and look DruidicaL Then
YOU are in the Celtic movement, and you are as
sure of your little twttering public as human
ingenuity can make you. But if in this crisis

Deep in the stiffness of night

I Weakened from days earthly dreams
And walked alone with God.
Rained down and drowned in dusky pools
The quiet stars lay shining through;
And earth was all so stepped in heaven
That ii was heaven. too.

Spoke to me in that lonely place:

And looked. and saw His face
And ever since, / but God

Looks round, and sees but light.

Once more the shrewd and amiable observer,
who, looking "From College Window" makes
reflections for the benefit of "Cornhill," offers
his advice on an important subject. This time
lie addresses himself to those who would en-
bark upon the profession of letters. He nat
urally repeats, to begin with, the familiar
observation that the judicious aspirant viii
make literature a hobby and not a means of
livelihood. Later he makes this confession
1.-The two things that 1 have found to be of
infinite service to myself. IN learning to write
prose, have been keeping a full diary, and writ

Mr. Richard Bagot, whose novels OF Italian
life have been faYOrably commented upon in
The Tribune contributes TO "The Nineteenth
Century" a portentous article on THE Review
ing Of Fiction" He means of course, the re-
viewing which goes on from day to day, in our
unhappy period, In the columns of frivolous
things occur. For example it was once Mr..
BagOts blissful privilege to see "a very fiat
tering review of one of his novels in the columns
Of a leading London organ deservedly authori-
tative on literary matters" and a few days
later the same paper published another re-
view of the said novel than which nothing
could have been more depreciatory"! That
London organ ought to have been put to the
thumbScrew and the rack and something with
boiling oil in il should have been added to the
punishment Well, Mr.. Bagot stood the shock,
but lie really does not know what is going to
happen to fiction if something isn't done. BE
thinks we ought to have n critical Sanhedrim,
which would sift the tares from the wheat; an
awful tribunal WHOSE opinion on the technical
merits of novels submitted to It should form, as
# were, the passport of those novels to the
subsequent notice Of the press" thus relieving
the reviewer from the duty of examining mere
trash, and so on, and so ON, world without end.
It is to be hoped that the world will some day
learn to take fiction with becoming seriousness.
The neglect from which it now suffers and the
incompetence Of the critics who review it,
merely appalling. For our own part all we can
say on reading Mr.. Bagot's tremendous indict-
Iacnt is that our heart aches and Il drOwsy
numbneSS pains, as though of hemlock we had
