specially
Newark post., 1913-04-16

The gifted author Of knicker-
Booker. IN commenting on the de
cadence Of merry games III Merrle
England. formulated the interest
ing theory. that self-government
rests heavily upon the shoulders OF
the freeman. and he finds himself
anabic TO shake off this feeling OF
responsibility as in the days when
ipSpotic lollers assumed all the
powers and all the cares OF govern
memt. Like Christian $ burden OF
sin. it weighs him down, SO that
merry games become to him, mere
triv0IiJy. May we not also assume
this as one Of the contributing
causes for the decadence OF the gen
tie art Of rhyming?
Of late years poetizlng has SUI
tered an eclipse which, 1t Is to be
hoped, is merely temporary. NO
Doubt the absorbing chase after the
|nlmbIe and ever-elusive dollar, the
|yommerciaIism. and the terse,
|stralght-tO-the-point methods OF

The Passing of the Poet

I'm earlier days, the loVe-sick
swain indited burning verses to his
inamorata; reamS were set ablaze
with odes to her eyebrows, her lilly
hand, her tiny foot Clancy a dcni-
zen of the Windy City writing an
ode about his mistress footD Such
methods are entirely too slow for
Young America. An English car
toonist has represented an Amerl-
can. watch in hand, saying TO the
object of his affections, Miss
Blank, | wish to marry you. ! have
only three minutes to catch my
train. Please wire. your answer.
And similarly, the modern youth
would probably whisk her off in
his automobile to some convenient
Gretna Green.
The modern poet labors under
great and increasing difficulties
The musician, the artist, the United
States Senator, even the burly
football player, have encroached
upon one Of his dearest privileges
and chiefest glories, the possession
luXuriant head of hair; forsooth
what genius can be expected to
dash off an epic, if he cannot pet
ulantly fling the hair from his
soulful eyes. Like the mighty
Samson. so, shorn Of his locks, he
becomes commonplace.
Even the doctors have conspired
against him, for they say, to have
ones eyes "in fine frenzy roll
ing" is, to say the least, rather bad
for the optics. Candidly, | must
agree with them, for a single trial
procured me a royal headache.
When the poet was in the heyday
of his glory, his tragedy, his SON
net, and cantos replaced stanzas.
Now, alas, the world wants but llt-
tie poetry, and wants that little not
50 long. With some faint show OF
reason, some Of its enemies have
said the production Of poetry in the
golden ages was so prolific, that the
world has a sufciency for centuries
to come. A bas les traltres.
We are welded to the idols OF
the past. We revere the immortal
Bard Of Avon; we cling to that be-
loved infidel, the tentmaker OF
