In an aching. yearning beauty of vision.
phrase and music. Maurice Hewlett builds
upon three barbarous old tales this trilogy
OF dramas. Mr.. Hewlett says. primitive
the tales certainly are. but they are in
the great manner. 1t will be my fault,
not theirs. If in the presentation Of them
here they suffer eclipse The three
taken together depict the fate of Minos,
King of Crete. and his family. Accept
ing the essence OF God to be power love,
knowledge. and conceding that man ap-
proaches God according to the measure
in which he holds, or gains, these es-
sentialS each drama pOrtrdyS the failure
OF some typical parsonage in 1t, God or
man. because he lacks one or another
OF these qualities. AS whole, the
trilogy presents also tragedy Of fail
ure, the failure OF divine qualities to
mate with human faculty in the old bar
barrie ideals OF mankind. The dramas
pass stately each a vision Of God or
man moving in great matters. Under
ell Is a current of philosophy Through
all wonderful music flows. music pro-
duced by the use of each themes own
cadence each moods own measure The
dramas are not stiffened into meuical
system. instead they expand and advance
in their native rhythm. Using the musical
Inspiration of Wagner as his own, and
admitting that the burden of tambic
pentameter has been too many for the
poet" Mr. Hewlett adopts this protean
manner OF versiication. One must read
the trilogy aloud. as of course all poetry
should be read. Such reading reveals
the anna zing harmonies Of these dramas.
Such reading makes immediate appeal
through music, to the Specinc MOOD or
emotion waiting in their variant parts
