The article is entitled 1.-THE Game
Bird Of the Future" and is devoted
to the delight Of killing all the quail
that come within dog and gun range
in a day, but the choice revelation of
character in the poets son is to be
found in a single sentence:
ANY game creature which moves
is beautiful to me when viewed along
a gun barrel"
The poet Lanier enjoyed 80 true a
kinship with nature hat even the pull
sations OF sap in a tree became part
OF his w feeling. 1t is immaterial
whether he hunted or not. He might
nave killed game every day Of his
IRE without getting the degenerate
point OF view Of his son. His vision Of
the above quotation would have been:
Any creature which moves is beauti-
full to me-" AS the son states 1t, it
means nothing but blood lust.
Some weeks Ago. a brave French
aviator was describing his experience

machine guns. His planes had been
riddled. and he had just been able to

What did you think Of when you
