Prof. Schafer asked his American
history class if the literature at the
time Of the colonization of America,
was hardly worthy of the title of liter
ature. He asked about the poetry and
received the answer that poetry at that
time did not stand very good show
OF being classed as standard poetry.
Prof. said that a person didn't have
to know much to write poetry-it was
all imagination. Perhaps Prof. meant
that his being critic was all imagin-
alton. and maybe he meant the long
haired chaps who wrote poetry and
prose, didn't know much outside of
rhyme. But the question is this-did
he mean to say that an ignorant per-
son could write poetry that's why he
can't write it, or poor-try. The ques-
tion is troubling quite few.
