IDEAS AND PRINCIPLES
OF BRoWNINc's POETRY.
Subject of Lecture by Rev. Or. NJ. S.
Kaufman Before Connecticut chau-
tauqua Assembly at Plainville.

On Friday afternoon Rev. DR.. NJ S.
Kaufman of this city was one of the
lecturers before the Connecticut Chau-
tauqua assembly at Plainville. He took
as his subject The Leading Principles
and Ideas of Robert Browning's Poetry
and during his lecture said:
Robert Browning never struck a re-
sponsive chord in the popular heart.
Multitudes of common readers know of
him simply as the husband OF that
charming poetess who sang the song
of Italy and wrote Aurora Leigh. To
others he is only the thorn Of this full
blown rose to be Stunned and even
dreaded by sensitive natures. 1t must
be conceded that he cannot usually be
close thought, or appreciated at his full
value except through prolonged, faith
full study; and probably the lovers of
literature who really enjoy him will
remain comparatively few. Some of
his warmest admirers deeply deprecate
his ruggedness and abruptness of STYLE
the needlessly obscure and grabbed
oiction which mars much OF his writ
ing. He has been accused of inten-
tionalty trying to puzzle people by the
labyrinthine windings of his verse. To
this charge he pleads innocence, but
confesseS: Il never pretended to offer
such literature as should be a substi-
tute for a cigaR or a game Of dominoes
to an idle man. So perhaps on the
whole, | get my deserts and something
over-not crowd, but a few / value
more" Mr.. Browning is recognized as
one of the most intellectual of poets;
superior philosophical thinker upon
The most perplexing problems that have
ever tormented the finite BRAIN; a
strong, stalwart, valiant thinker of
transcendent thoughts. His originality
is never questioned. He is a marvel of
productiveness Only Shakespeare ex-
cells him in this particular. The vast
ness and richness of his nature sug-
gest a mountain, amply veined with
silver and gold. Into his poems he
filings solid nuggets of rich ore without
stopping to transmute and polish into
beautiful forms. He seems so bent
upon releasing the mighty sentiments
and thoughts which struggle within
him for utterance that pleasing sound
Is often sacrificed for forceful sense
Here is one secret of Browning's al
legged obscurity: 1t arises from his
torrent-rush of personal vitality that
ever possesses him. The search for the
Leading Ideas and Principles OF His
Poetry" is often a difficult task, but
the very difficulties are an exhilarating
challenge to renewed effort, and when
the effort Is crowned with success II
is no bootless victory. Along with the
joy of triumph comes the appreciated
possession of most valuable spoils
Not that you always endorse his pc
culiar views, but you are helped to a
larger viaion of life's real meaning and
to clearer insight into essential
truth: you are. made to feel more SEN
sibly the grandeur of your own inner
forces and the majesty OF that omni-
