Their lovernaking while clasped in the
fond embrace furnishes hardly any ma
teriea at all for variations. They are I'm
sort Of trance; they say things to each
other that they have unconsciously alb
sorbed from love scenes that they've read
about. Moreover, their emotions are such
that they are more than liable, and do,
stick to the most limited imaginable yo-
cabulary.
Therefore 1t is. as I say, hideously,
srindingly dimcult to DO anything that
has even a. ttnge of newness in writing
love scenes. I suppose the greatest mas
ter OF the love scene now writing that
kind of stuff Is Robert Chambers. But
take his books and look into the love
narily alike they are. He has delicacy
of verbfage, a keen way Of changing the
scenery of the love scenes. and all that
sort Of thing, but the emotions depicted
and the words describing the very hub
of these emotions always are very much
the same.
Even the most rapid and facile writer
Of novels is stumped when he comes to
his love scenes. and he has to pull him
self UP. often to dead stop for days. in
his effort to think out something that will
throw at least an appearance Of change
on such situations. Even then he finally
ends by doing the conventional love scene
thing. simply ON account of the enormous

man: all of the life and beinsness, so to
speak, evaporate from them.
''It is to be remembered that human
beings, In love or out of 1t, speak very
much in the same way; but young men
liable to stick to an extraordinary same
ness in making their mutual revelations
as to their feelings. The language Of
love, in fact, Is extraordinarily cramped:
there are fewer phrases to love than
there are as to any other Of the human
passions. l would thousand times pre-
fer to attempt to describe a murder. or
a burglary, or a forgery. or anything
else of a concrete kind, in a new way.
than to attempt to infuse anything new
into a love scene.
"When 1t comes to that, the love scene
business was all done in blank verse hun
dredS Of years ago, and in a way, Of
course. that probably always will be I'M
equaled. Shakespeare was a perfect
master of the love scene, of course, and,
really. considered from certain angle,
it seems more or less presumptuous for
anybody to attempt to write love scene
even in straight prose. after Shakespeare
has done the thing SO marvelously well.
All of the EliZabethan dramatists were
masters of the love scene. They really
said the last word on the subject
But the woman readers OF the novel

They never get tired of 1t. The more dis
eliminating and the more literary among
the Sameness Of the love scenes In mod
ern novels. but they do their criticising
without in the least understanding the
magnitude OF the job of trying to write
new stuff in that line.
"Novelists are constantly trying to shift
