Genius.

To THE EDITOR or THE suN-sh: The
successful world will accept talent. but
genius liz the fruit OF suffering. Therein
lies the reason for the rejection OF lines
such AS these:
Taint OF mortality can none escape,
For hangs on every pilgrims soul pail.
Care. like a shadow, haunts each carnal
shape
And II not facts. then fallacies. plague all
That walk the earth, or, shall We say. that
crawl
And seems each grace some weakness to en-
tail.
As heights rise cold and flowers white pro"e
frsil.
While soon Is sullled snow. I.arks sweetest
sing,
But golden voice denies them gorgeous wing
Bitterly II reflects on prevailing cond-
tons when verse so dignified must be Of
fered In manner M aggressive For this

denied my work themselves be Judged
