Lures my spirit into space;
Clears my vision,
Gives decision
In the battle of my life;
Gains my spirit when hear it.
Making peace of inward strife
These may be merely symbolic sOoth-
ings. however, as MacLafrerty says on
the title page:
Come. kneel with me, my comrade, friend
In this cathedral aisle,
And, locking deep within thy heart,
Forget the world the while;
And if beneath this hallOwsd dome
message come TO thee,
There does not speak the man I am
But he long to be.
The poem which gives the title To
the book is more deeply religious IN
tone perhaps than any of the others
and is, in fact. singularly so for the
writings of a businessman OF the
twentieth century with a divorce suit
on his hands. 1t is In part as fol-
lows:
Ny souls cathedraI-hallowed place
So dark, 50 glorious, filed with grace,
whene'sr my soul doth part thy vail
incense
1t knesls before the Holy Grail
Its kingly king of sacred urns.
''Life's Paradoxes' is one OF the few
that are hopeful In sentiment in the
entire book and reads:
Light out Of darkness,
Surceass from pain;
joy out Of sadness,
Out of loss, gain.
Strength from our weakness,
Rest from our care,
God recompenses
For all that we bear.
Poetry has become a habit with
MacLafferty, according to his poem,
MY Tyrant." which is in part:
A tyrant thou art grown TO be-
Ensnaring me in meshss deep;
Relentless, art thou, Poesy,
Commanding me that, I sleep,
yet must kneel before the shrine
I buiIded when I made thee mine.
7 seek thee when 7 fain would rest
When footsOre, weary, travel stained
seek thee, fOrsI love thee best.
Light Through the Valley" is taken
from the verse. "Yea. though I walk
through the valley OF the shadow OF
death. I will fear no evil" and has an
frontispiece a photogravure Of Fa-
lero's Toward a Better World" 1t
beginsf
It is not fitting I should seek thee, Death;
And yet 'tis seemly should welcome thee
When thou shalt call, and greet thee a friend.
Although serious almost to being
morbid. this has a smoother quality of
verse and more grace OF expression
than marks most of the score or moro
of poems in the larger book.
MaeLafferty's further work will be
awaited with interest. as the western
public will be anxious to know If an
other as spectacularly literary as
Joaquin Miller will rise in our midst.
