ANALYSIS OF THE
"LiTANY" POEM.

THE poem expresses a longing for
the perfection that life denies a lover
OF beauty. 1t voices desire for a
transcendent spiritualism. an un-
human idealism, and exaltation not
OF an earthly kind. II Is this need
that has fired all great thinkers. from
Buddha to Tolstoi. All students OF
philosophy or art have been besieged
by this desire for immortal perfec-
ton. this sanctity outside Of life, this
celestial dream that Ia Wild and
vain"
Mrs. Wagstaff paused q momen,
and then spoke with even greater
! earnestness.
