EDGAR ALLAN POE

IF the vote for Cooper gave cause
for wonder, what Of the insufficient
tally score for Poe, whose names prob
ably will never cease to be vexed by a
willing class of followers, but concern
ing whose place in imaginative litera-
ture the world at large has not the
slightest doubt? AS writer he
was among the first to recognize the
powers Of Hawthorne; both were
idealists, and If one produced no sus-
tanned romances like 1.-THE Scarlet Let
ter" the other gave voice to no lyric
melodies such as 'Israfel' and THE
Haunted Palace" These artistic,
beauty-haunted compeers were twin
orbs in their nineteenth century con-
stellations. And as for the matter Of
renown-of a place in the Hall Of
Fame-what is fame?. On your con-
science, fellow judges, whether you
are realists or dreamers, jurists,
scholars or divines, pay some slight
regard to that voice Of the outer
world, which one of our own writer's
termed the verdict of "a sort Of con-
temporaneous posterity;' note that
there is scarcely an enlightened
tongue into which Poe's lyrics and
tales have not been rendered-that he
is read and held as a distinctive
genius, in France, Spain, Germany,
Italy, Russia, Scandinavia-that the
spell of his art is felt wherever our
own English speech goes with the flags
of its two great overlands. Fame! Is
there one of us still unconscious Of
Poe's fame?

like his handiwork, was chaste as

When Maarten Martens visited
New York city last summer to attend
the peace conference one Of the first
things he touched on in an interview
Tin the New York Times) on literary
matters was the subject Of Poe. He
said:

ness and nobility. His men are brave
and his women are pure. He is the
least vulgar of mortals. Perhaps, II

tive, too high-minded."
Standards. evidently, have changed
since Emerson referred to Poe as
that jingle man." Abiding to this
disparaging comment DIR. II. G. Wells,
the English novelist and writer on 30
GEOLOGY, said at dinner in Boston: II

writer's for their contempt Of Poe. /
shall never be able to forget that
Emerson called him that jingle man
To-day thousand read Poe where one
reads Emerson, and not to know Poe's
work is rather Disgrace"
Rupert Taylor, IL. B., In q recently
printed Study of Edgar Allan Poe"
has this to say Of Poe's private life:
poe took pleasure In the softer in
fiuences of home life, although there

writings. He dearly loved his wife
and her mother, of whom he speaks In
an excellent sonnet addressed to her
after the death Of his wife, as more
than mother In the Black Cat he
gives evidence of fondness for do
nestle pets. His cottage at Fordham
was beautified by vines and Towering
plants, and he kept in cages several
singing birds and tropical birds Of
plumage. He was as all who knew
anything about the matter attested on
every occasion devoted and model
husband"
People in general are so accustomed
to regard Poe as poet and short
story writer that they fail to realize
that no was also profound specular
tive thinker. In an article entitled
Poe as an Evolutionist" (Popular
Science Monthly. september) Mr..
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1908-07-11

this day, to the cause and manner Of
his death, but apparently no one
knows or cares where his body lies or
can direct the foreign pilgrim with
err to repair to render his need
of reverence"
Mr.. Stedman's judgment Is thus con-
firmed-indeed, more than confirmed,
it is strongly emphasized by Mr.. Maar-
tens, who places Poe at the head of
American men of letters. Let us
now listen to voice from England;
that of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who
said of Poe in a recent article in an
English (Cassell's) magazine:
Il have said that l look upon Poe
as the worlds supreme short story
writer. His nearest rival, should
say, was Maupassant. The great Nor
man never rose to the extreme force
and originality of the American, but
he had a natural power, an Unborn in
stinct towards the right way of max
ing his effects, which mark him as a
great master. He produced stories be-
cause 1t was in him to do so as nat
urally and as perfectly as an apple
tree produces apples. What a fine,
sensitive, artistic touch 1t is! How
easily and delicately the points are
made!"
Poe was proud of being virginian.
In 1841 he wrote to a friend in Balti-
more: II am a Virginian-at least
l call myself one, for have resided
all my life, until within the last few
years, at Richmond"
Another writer, Mr.. Charles l..
Moore, invites attention to Poe's
merits as a "tone-painter," In an arti-
Gle in the Dial. Most epics and great
works Of fiction, he thinks, have no
trace of tone-the region Of tone be-
Ing the drama, the lyric and the prose
story. Hamlet begins with a tone
picture, the scene on the platform at
Elsinore, hardly equaled in Shake
speare. Continuing Mr.. Moore says:
with, Of course, other immense in
feriorities, Poe cannot come into com.
parison with Shakespeare in variety
OF tone. Shakespeare's different
pieces are keyed to all the notes of
color, from ebon black to the purest
gold of sunlight. Poe keeps in the
main in the dark side Of the spectrum.
But within his range there are great
differences In shade and always abso-
lutte certainty Of effect. Consider the
varieties Of tone in the grave, somber
cofors of The Fall of the House Of
Usher the restless brilliancy of The
Masque Of the Red Death, and the
sober, ordered daylight OF Landor's
Cottage or the range between the in
tangible shadows of Ulalume.' the rich
gloom of the Raven, and the faceted
sparkle Of The Haunted Palace As
the modern world Of letters has main
ly gone to Keats to learn style-the per-
lection Of word phrasing-so II has gone
to Poe to learn tone. the truths Of
keeping an atmosphere in composition.
Poe did not set himself to write
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1908-07-11

Frederic Drew Bond points out that
In estimating his character too little
attention is bestowed on this phase
Of his work. He finds that Poe enter
tanned In Its broad outlines that idea
OF the changes and development of the
world which goes, nowadays, by the
name of the theory of evolution. On
February 3, 1848, Poe delivered, as a
lecture at the Society library of New
York, an abstract of his speculations
on the material and spiritual uni
verse-its essence, origin, creation,
present condition and destiny. Short
ly afterward this was published by
Putnam. under the title Eureka"
After quoting the paragraphs from
Eureka In which Poe sums up his
theory of cosmic development. Mr..
Bond says:
1.-THE statement OF Poe that 'hetero-
geneousness, brought about directly
through condensation. Is proportional
with It forever appears to contain the
germ Of Herbert Spencers developed
formula; Evolution is a change from

between mental development and
