and terrible and sinister upon the whole?"
and answered its own question This way:
This is the answer: We shall have
foolish, romantic Elorihcation or sane
realistic treatment. according the
state Of public sentiment. Writers
supply the public Gemar3. They react
to public sentiment, and thus become
popular-falnous
If it be true that the treatment of the
theme by the writer's will be according to
public sentiment, the work will be done by
the rcalsts; the romanticists will be at dis
count In fact the realiss have already
taken hold. Little has been written so far,
and that little is poetry, but nearly every
writer ignores the tinsel frame OF glory and
sees straight TO the death, destruction and
suffering in the picture itself. They are COM
