Where flash the legions of the sun,

Where flash the legions Of the sun,
You fade-as if the last of days
We're fading, and all wars were done.
This poem is one (the shortest) Of
the pieces included in Robinson's The
Four Tavcrns IMacmilan}, where the
highest nobility of thought is knitted
to classic dignity of expression.
Mr.. Louis Untcrmeyer's industry is
even more astonishing than his taleAts
For his anthologies of Modern English
and American Poetry (Harcourt, Brace
Howe) have not satisfied his lust for
work; he has issued (through the same
firm of publishers a new volume of
his own poetry, The New Adam The
anthologies arc good, though like most
anthologies they might have been bet
ter; and The New Adam, what shall l
say of it except that it is really only
the old Adam? Untermcyer dcliber-
ately sets out to show that he is the
accredited mouthpiece of the modern
poets conception of love, but despite
his facile brilliance he merely succeeds
in dressing up old sentimentalities in
camoufiaged costume. He even falls
into the stale and loathsome cant of
explaining to his beloved that in all his
adventures he is actually seeking her
Ugh.
Mr.. Symons Is Ashamed
Mr.. Aldous Huxley's Leda (Doran) is
still moro tiresome The pity of it is
that he, like Mr.. Untcrmeyer, has gifts,
but, as he himself explains,
Oh, the maggots, the maggots in his
brains!

has, l am given to understand, a book
in preparation.
Despite all this, so enormous mass
Of poetry remains that it is extremely
difficult to extract its varied juices and
concentrate them for the purpose of
single short article. After the strictest
process Of selection and secluson, over
forty volumes that cannot be ignored
are left over.
I may as we'll namc at once those
books ard authors which seem to me
to belong to the class of special dis
tinction. 1t is dangerous, but it
must be done. Here goes, then:
Charles Doughty's Mansoul, not yet
brought out in America, magnificent
but densely archaic epic; W. H. Da-
vies' Forty New Poems, the extreme
contrast to Mansoul; Charles Will
liams's Divorce, John Masefeld's Rey-
nard the Fox and Enslaved, Lawrence
Bnyon's The Four Years, Georgian
Poetry, A Miscellany Of American
Poetry, Vachcll Lindsay's Golden
Whales of California, William Rose
/ Benet's Moons Of Grandeur and Edwin
Arlington Robinson's The Four Tav-
erns, which is easily the best Ameri-
can poetry of the year. Poems, by
Francis Butt Young (Dutton), and j.
c. Squire's Birds Ooran) would be In
this list were not the cream of these
two books already included in Georg-
ian Poetry.
Credit to Charles Williams
or this group, Mr.. Charles Williams
Ia the only man likely to be neglected,
so propose giving him here the honor
which Is his due. but which he has
hitherto been denied. His Silver Stair
and Poems Of Conformity have, in
deed, been recognized as great poetry
by the greatest Of the poets of our
day, but otherwise they have been al
most totally ignored. IT must be con-
fessed that the reader has a hard nut
to crack before he can get to tho ker-
mel Of Charles Williams. For not only
has his work some forbidding pecul-
iarities Of style, but It's austerity and
profundity Of matter demand severe
application. In "Divorco" he develops
his philosophy from the point to which
it was advanced In Poems of Conform
ity In the earlier collection soul was
struck clear from soul and revealed
in marriage, which Is the symbol of the
Church; in the later collection (Which
like its forerunnera Is consistent
whole) soul is struck clear from soul
and rewelded in friendship, which is the
symbol Of sthe republic.
Now, now in you the great divorce
Begins, whose everlasting source
Sprang up before the sun,
Whose chill dividing waters roll
'Twixt flesh and spirit, mind and SOUL
Than death more deeply run:
Divorce, sole healer of divorce;
For our deep sickness Of remorse
Sole draught medicinal
Which Grief from bitter herbage brews
Where Babylonish waters ooze
Ger Mansouls shattered wall;
! Divorce, who cries all mortal banns;
Chief foreman Of the artiauns
Who quarry from Times pit

Melville Davisson Post has struck
a definitely new note in mystery

III I is not to be expected that every

the many notable cases of complete or

Robert Hillyer, in The Five Books of
Youth (Brentano), also is bit of q
decadent. But he also has a regard for
the great traditions of English poetry,
as this sonnet, though it is not one of
his best, will prove:
Through the deep night the leaves speak
tree to tree.
Where abe the stars? The frantic clouds
ride high,
The swelling gusts of wind blow down
the sky,
Shaking the thoughts from tho leaves,
garrulously.
Through the deep night, articulate to
me,
They question your untimely passing by;
Your spring is still in flower, must YOU
fly
Wndswept so soon down lanes of

Through the deep night the trees re-
count the past,
The lovers that have long ago gone
hence,
And whom you joined ere love had

Through the dark night plunges the
sudden blast,
Sweeping the young leaves down before
