POETS OF THE MOONLIGHT.

(From the Current Literature.)
There are poets of the moonlight and
poets Of the sunlight. The poets Of the
moonlight have wltChcry and beauty
Of their own, but their light Is a reflect
ed light and it has in 1t no heat rays and
no nctlnic rays II lacks vital'zinr pow
or. The flowers that grow in II are apt
to be pallld and dropping. Poe was Il
moonlight poet all the time. Wordsworth
and Browning were poets OF the sun
light. Tonnyson had moonl ght mood,
but at his best he was one Of the sun
light poets. Kipling and Whitman could
be nothing else. The moonlight poets
usually draw their inspiration not direct
~ from NE as it pulsates around Them,
but from "old, unhappy. far-of things"
and especially from the life that is re-
flected in the ancient Greek and Roman
literature and the medieval myths. Too
often they have little skill in the art OF
living and their idea of getting close to
the heart OF l!fe Is to dabble IN the stream
OF debauchery. Outside OF their books
and their moonlight dreams. they arc
ra thcr helpless and pathetic. prone to re-
gard themselves as an alien and superior
| race whose sufferings are certificate OF
| their high calling. This IS tho way they
love to talk OF themselves: THE poet
| Is tho real man In the moon. that came
down too soon. and is always asking his
way-to the moon. lie is. so TO speak,

specter. embodied for n while for mystic
purposes Of divine speech; ana even to
