Optimism

An address recently delivered at
Columbia University by Amado
Nervo, the celebrated Mexican
poet, would indicate that, in his philoso-
ply at least, the spirit of pessimism holds
no place. Mr.. Nervo gave a lucid ex-
planation Of his own particular attitude
toward life and the effect it has upon
his poetry "The South American"
quotes him thus, in part:
'The color in picture, if gifted with the
faculty Of reason, seeing at its side other
tints, meaningless to itself, with the ap-
pearance Of red, green and blue stains, and
unable to distinguish tbe harmony of such
a combination, would Geel out OF place, as
If thrown at random on the canvas and
would endeavor to get away because in
capable of understanding the function
which it here performed. But, once out Of
it would be able to appreciate the whole
conception, to understand the fine blending
of colors which gives life to a Landscape
or portrait of the human figure, and would
Immediately realize the void occasioned by
the displacement from the whole of one
component part, and therefore hasten to
return to its place.
Things appear to me to have an inclina-
tion toward goodness, as if they wanted to
be good. They knock at our door and we
are responsible for their deterioration II
we are not inspired by the spirit of opti-
mism. There are in the world more good
things and good men than bad, and men
are wicked because they do not know how
to be better, not because their instincts are
perverse. In their spirit of pessimism they
transform into bad the good things which
knock at sheir door; they do not see them
as they really are The outside world ws
