LIFE, THE UNS0LVED RIDDLE
It's Elements Remain Unchanged,
However Man Has Juggled With
Their Compounds.

Realism? Naturalism? Symbolism?
Materialism ?-foolishness, much of it.,
without end! Life is and remains
Life, ever old yet ever new, and the
elements of Life likewise remain un-
changed, however audacious man may
juggle with their compounds, mix
them in wrong proportion and, in the
end, even please himself with the
Idea that he has kneaded out of his
patent labeled mixture an entirely
new mass of flesh and blood and
soul!
Life! This. life of ours that is con-
ceived in the desires of the flesh,
born at the command Of souls, the
cause of which lies deep in human
pain or in an overwhelming surcharge
Of human joy-it is q tear; and like
tear It is q prism. through which,
when the bright sun falls upon 1t. We
may see the elemental colors In all
their beauty, provided We know. In
truth, how to see; but In heavy
weather and devastating storms. such
as surround the majority OF mankind.
It becomes, clouded, dim, Opaque; and.
thus clouded, thus opaque, It offers
alas! to disappointed Humanity the
eternal, unsoived riddle CT existence.
