Joseph CONRAD is essentially the
man of ships. His fine feeling for
~ the sea distinguishes all his work.
It is a quite different sea feeling than that
displayed by Mr.. Stevenson-less spectacu-
lar and, in a sense, perhaps, less romantic;
but profounder, many have thought. When
he is writing of ships Mr.. Conrad'S
touch is deeply affectionate, yet always
sturdy. To him ships are not-as upon
the lips of Shylock they were made to ap-
pear-but boards" though sailors hap
PLY remain mere men. To Conrad the
nautical scene is richly furnished with
glow of life, which invests each ship with
vivid, haunting personality.

charm the sense of citation experienced by

Children Of War

MOT for transient victory, or some
~ Stubborn belief that we alone are
right;
Not for a code or conquest do we night,
But for the crowded millions still to come.
This, unborn generations, is your war,
Although it is our blood that pays the
price.
Be worthy, children, of our sacrifice,
And dare to make your lives worth fight
ing for.
We give up all we love that you may loathe
Intrigue and darkness; that you may
dispense
The ranks Of ugly tyrannies and, worse,
The sodden languor and complacent sloth.
Do not betray us, then, but come to be
Creations GROWING splendor, nor its
slave;
Knowing our lives were spent to make
you brave,
And that our deaths were meant to set
you free.
