knowledge of which has faded in the
experience OF birth (Which is a sleep
and forgetting"), leaving only the
conviction behind?
This prenatal existence seems, in
Maeterinck's fancy, like an ocean sur
rounding the little island Of our life.
Out of it we are drawn up, as the drop
of rain is drawn up out of the sea.
and, passing through the misty gate OF
birth, are born on earth. Like the
raindrop in its course, we hurry
through our lives sometimes rushing
on aimlessly, like the young brook;
sometimes lying placid. like the pool:
sometimes butfeted into rapids. and
sometimes moving with steady purpose.
Hike the widening river. But ALWAYS
We return again at last into the sur
rounding sea, to ado there to the
sum Of knowledge whatever we have
learned on earth. And so this Ocean
Of Eternity that bounds our lives be-
comes the reservoir of all human wis
dom the storehouse Of all human ex-
perience.
Here abide all those spirits that have
preceded us on earth-our ancestors -
and all those that are to follow us in
life-our children and their children.
And one Of the lessons Of experience
that these dead and these unborn alike
are anxious to transmit to the new
soul adventuring on earth, is that no
act more affects itself. or those who
are TO follow it, than the choice of a
true mate. II is the most important
of life's duties. And so IN the pre-
natal existence every prospective soul
is shown the image of its one true
love, and sent on earth to search for
him or her.
But, alas This image does not pass
through the great experience Of birth
clear and untroubled. 1t remains in
the newborn mind to borrow again
the figure of water) only like the re
Election in some troubled pool-waver-
ing and broken. We remember it in
bits and fragments. And because we
cannot see it clear and complete we
are always in danger of taking part
Of it for the whole, and falling what
we call "in love- many times. But al
ways what attracts US in the false and
temporary love is some glimpse or par.
of the true image.
But sometime in life there surely
comes to every man and women the
magic hour when the wind falls and the
pool is still; and 10! they see the
image. whole at last. and recognize the
one true mate for them that all the
past and future has predestined and de
creed.

Paris last wintcr and he sent the man

Nice. 1t was at the height Of the war.
A journey on any civilian business be-
tween the two places Was impossible;
and in our brief correspondence he
never gave NE a word of advice about
its production or interpretations He
said only that he should be glad to
have the first presentation made in
America-a compliment which, as I
wrote him, was sure my countrymen
would appreciate
But had asked him for his own
reading of the plays symbolism I feel
quite certain that his answer would
have been: "Take what your own mind
finds there" Maotcrlinck is the only
living dramatist who has been able to
put philosophy into his plays and still
remain popular in tho widest sense.
This is because he never forces it upon
his audiences. He writes, first of all,
a charming story, so simple that chill
drcn who 90 net know the meaning
of the word philosophy and the
tired business man who knows it
only as SON cthus that makes his head
ache, find his plays delightful. He Of

a rose offers its perfume. l. is there

well, there is enough without
Indeed, even to those of us who do
like to amuse ourselves with his sym

being defined or imposed. 1t leaves our
own imaginations free. The essence Of
symbol is that it shall mean many
things to many minds, like that writing
in the sand which all who bent to read
dcciphcrcd differently. Maeterlinck's
truth, like the strange figure in his
play, is always veilcd. "All true poets"
he says. "should be taken as meaning
more than they themselves know. Woe
to him who has been able to hold his
work in control between his two
hands,"
