widely recognized nor very comfortable,
and he lays much of the blanc at the
door of the English monarchy king
Edward VII. was man OF fine human
qualities, but he was not furioualy
addicted TO literature" No one can
accuse Poet Watson OF not being furi-
ous'y addicted to it. lie Is especially
furious because only single man of
letters Was invited to represent Eng
fish literature Mt Edwards coronation.
That man was not Mr. Watson but "a
novelist not usually reckon..d of Tho
first rank" Tut tut. Willie! Hast not
heard OF the gentleman who was fun
OF sound and fury, sisnitying nothing?
The poet who mnted that line from a
divine Imagination didn't nave 10 wait

outburst Of empnrpled envy. we mag
inc Mr.. Watson ought to be acquainted
with the cnprices Of "a temperamental

lie forgets that true poet seeks
neither the applause OF a multtud, nor
the jeweied decoration OF royal fancy.
