tons with feathers, the little misehance,

lime, the winged snail, has its say with
each. Irony speaks the epilogue always
in the Hardy drama. We are allowed our
ideals in order to trip over them. We
are endowed with the free will to believe
in free will in order to please the gods.
80 the Will heaves through space and
moulds the times with mortals for its
fingers" says the Chorus of the Years
Pure Schopenhauer, who is the meta
physical father of Thomas Hardy.
There. is something, too, in Hardy
which reminds one of those beautiful
marionette dramas of Maeterlinck. The
characters in those early plays of the Bel
gian merely glide over the thin thread
of Consciousness, which cuts the unknown
like chain of firefiies at the summit Of
the night.
The description of Egdon Heath, In
The Return Of the Natise, with its man
and woman on the horizon, Is chapter

comes with greater surety In his last
book, Moments Of Vision).
The Power and the Glory.
In Hardy's work the glory of man lies
in his aspiration. Tess is sublime in her
failure. She mocks the gods, as do
Eustacia wye and Napoleon. That we
have failed is of no consequence. That
we have aspired and failed is everything.
Our ideals are like those Christians in
white who enter the lion pits of Circum-
stance to be devoured by the jaws Of
Reality. The Lions do not conquer.
There are no "evil," no Hgood" charac-
ters in the books. There are only human
beings and Nature. From the peasant
to Napoleon the blood and flesh puppets
are vitreous. One sees through them into
the Law. They have no more will than
the hands on the face of clock. They
are wound up and go for little time. He
tells US We are moulded "numbly as in a
dream" We are patterns wrought by
rapt, aesthetic rote"-always menaced by
the backfire of the dead.
Hence that sense of the unreality OF
life, that feeling Of perpetual hallucina-
tion and somnambulism in his writings.
Tess, Michael Henchard, the characters in
those beautiful short stories and the per-
sons Of the poems are real, solid, vital
creations to the touch of fingers, but they
evapoyafeNat the end Of the tale, as we
shall when our planetary tale is told.
"Artistries In circumstance" the poet
calls them in The Dynasts. They are all
in the grip of his or her vertiginous des-
tiny as surely as Saturn is locked in its
rings.
Irony is the logic of contradiction. 1t
is the third eye of the brain. Of all the
novellsts of the age Thomas Hardy is,
with Gustave Flaubert, the supreme iron
ist. His irony is the irony of the authors
of Oedipas Rer and The Temptation Of
Saint Anthony. They crush their crea-

that is immortal in literature. Mystical,
subtle, allegorical and tremendously real,
this is the speck man versus the Universe.
Egdon Heath is the hidden Powers, Man
the pathetic Victim.
The magic of Hardy consists in this
that he makes US feel the mysterious
pulsing in the folds of the familiar and
puts a ghost at the very heart of the
known. Maeterlinck conveys to US the
reality of the mysterious. But Hardys
art has accomplished the greater miracle
he makes US feel the mystery and the
terror of the familiar. And yet his world
is concrete enough bird, fiddler,
pothouse, a fair, factory. 1t is the
witchcraft of genius. 3.
The poetry in his last book, Moments
Of Vision, is uneven. Much Of it is echo.
But one must read every page of it to
know the soul of the writer The old
visions, the old hopes, are there. Pity,
humanity and irony-irony sad and nos
talgie-are all present. And the witchery
of mearth hovers over 1t all.
There are war poems; but they are
rather weak; like a man writing from
beyond the tomb about something that IS
of no moment there. Like this, under the
title an Time Of The Breaking Of No
tions':
"Only man narrowing clods
In slow silent walk
With an old horse that stumbles and mods
Half asleep as they stalk.
II.
"Only thin smoke without flame
From the heaps of couch grass;
Yet this will 60 onward the same
Though Dynasties pass.
"Yonder maid and her wight
Come whispering by:
Wars annals will cloud into night
Ere their story die"
1t is in the great ages of pessimism
that the greatest wisdom comes from the
human heart and brain. The seer and the
optImist are contradiction in terms. So
long as man is dominated by the Win-to-
Power and the Will-to- Illusion the tragi-
comedy will go on throughout the uni
verse. But the Artist comes to interpret
the Play to the players themselves. And
among all the Artists within the memory
of man none has seen deeper into life,
none has held more completely and more
sanely within his head the Cosmic Vision,
none has been more fearless, memorable
OF sincerer than Thomas Hardy.
He has glanced at life with a super
human Satire eye over which has hung the
mist of perpetual tear. And that mys-
teal Hope that has fed the world for ages
still dwells in his heart. The last words in
The Dynasts are:
consciousness the Will informing, till II
fashion all things fairv'
He, too, has his dream of ,hetaphysi-
cal Messiah!

l. lands sole literary Titan. Meredith
has gone to his Immortality. Swinburne
sleeps in the Garden Of Proserpine.
Olympus retains but one fgure-the
seer of Max Gate. The mystical cata-
clysmic year 1914 cannot touch him, for
his vision knows not year, nor hour, nor
eon. He speaks in the eternities. He
has created, like Esehylus, Sophocies,
Shakespeare, Flaubert, Balzac, Turgeniev
and Dostoievsky, for all times.
We take our stage thrills with Conrad,
we Chamber over the stars and romp in
the Fourth Dimension with Wells, We
crack brain smile with Shaw, pose
around the Boardwalks of Literature with
Moore, play psychic leapfrog with Ches-
terton, and look far into the soul of
things with Phillpotts. But Thomas
Hardy stands us on a terrible height,
where Irony is revealed as the law Of life
and Humanity seems less than nothing.
Beyond Good and Evil.
He is neither a pessimist nor an
optimist. he is a Supreme Artist-and
the supreme artist has nothing to do with
good or evil as moral questions. He sees
and records. He apprehends and ma
terializes. He is a mirror, not . judge.
AlasI it is only too true that those who
Gee most clearly in this world weep-or
laugh with a strange laugh, the unarith-
metical smile, the fantastic laugh Of
Hamlet.
To see is to comprehend, and to COM
prehend is to repeat the Vanitas Vanita-
tum Of the ages. The tragedy of Prone
theus is symbol of the tragedy of life.
But, to the artist, to the strong spirit, to
the grim soul, it is this very tragedy that
makes life worth while. The humblest of
us are epical figures in the brains Of the
gods. Life is worth while if only to see
what's going 10 happen next. To have
lived IN the sfme age with Thomas Hardy
makes life worth while. We are chums
of this creator of life!
Balzac caHed himself ''the secretary of
society" Thomas Hardy is, then, the
secretary to the gods.
Not His to Question Why.
Thackeray is always taking you aside
and explaining. Hardy never takes you
aside. He created Tess and hurled her
into the jaws of Circumstance She was
eaten alive. But the creator goes on to
another novel. He is not responsible for
the ways of the Unknowable. Why should
be explainf
. Hardy and Turgeniev are akin. Both
Of them have locked their characters in
wise. Both are supreme in creating the
atmosphere of Fatality. Both create eff
fects with few bold strokes of the pen.
Both are profoundly human, but never
sentimental. Both stem from the Greek
tragic spirit.
From Desperate Remedies to Moments
Of Vision is a divine adventure indeedi
Hardy is always the recorder and the
seeker. he is the most profoundly re-
Ggious Of men.
Like Sophoeles, he has peered behind
the Veil Of Isis
Like Hugo, he has hurried up and down
the sidereal systems seeking an answer
to the Question, leaving no Mansion in the
Skies unransacked.
Like Schopenhauer, he has seen the
seals Of the Unconscious break and let
: loose the dazed and light-'wildered butter
flies of the intelligence, and asked Whyf
Like Shakespeare, he has been stage
manager only to his puppets, leaving
moral judgments on God and Satan to
