Brandes. His contribution has taken the
form of an appreciation Of Hamlet

saw that posterity will still be discussing
the character Of his melancholy country
man long after We shall have gone 10

foresaw, also. that for posterity Ham

canoe. linking the race Of men together
from generation to generation below tho
surface of changing conditions and sur
roundings. In this manner does Brandes
register his tribute to the master poet.

Faust's. were directed toward experience,

But none the less dear to us art thou,

posterty at large will depend upon the
measure Of success which this popular
young ruler attains in the course Of his
reign. II expresses an ambition. an aspi-
ration. that many rulers have expressed
before him and before Henry ~. who
wished To put a chicken IN the pot Of
every French peasant for his Sunday
dinner. King Alfonso expresses his wish
as tersely. but makes IL far more COM

turn. It conylncinzlv seems TO express
both the king and the man:
The best stamp of glory which is my
ambition is that Of passing into history
as having obtained the wellbeing Of my
country.
Richard Strauss choice OF a musical
phrase In which to express himself to
postcrity appears TO be- typical of the
preference of the composers who have
been invited to contribute thus far They
all choose this form Of expression, rather
than generalIze about music. Painters,
on the other hand. have as yet given no
indication Of considering a sketch from
their hand as the proper medium Of COM
rnunicatlon with the world q hundred
years hence.
The authors, on tn other hand, like the
dramatsts, are apt To generalize about
their art. The novelists. however. often
transcribe favorite passage from their
