Celt Dominates Latin in French Genius

Timon le Ma1nifique. Par MdT Ddtr-
odur. Parts: Albin Michel.
IT. HIS witty young author gives
us a light and finely expressed
satire of the time before the
war; His theme is the idle and USE
less world of intellectual snobbery,
which is forever turning somer-
saults without making any real change
in its character.
Mr.. Daireaux's hero is a peaceably
minded bourgeois type who has let
himself be carried off by a band Of
friends who pose as aesthetics, for
ever seeking something new and
strange. They separate him from the
sweetheart who loved him tenderly.
True love is so old fashioned!
He goes in for sport, then for imi-
tation of the antique. Finally he dis
covers "Polymorphism." This mar
velous invention consists in represent
ing all sides of an object at once! His
little world took him seriously, he was

It is a neatly written satire on pre-
tenders of the artistic stripe. M. Dali
reaux pierces them with delicate
strokes. We laugh with him at a
fashionable "conferencier" who talks
like this:
art is not a mere servile copy, 1t
is an evocation. Only the essential
elements are present. Therefore
whers we paint the right eye OF a
model 1t is superfiuous to represent
the left eye. On the other hand,
when a man descends a staircase we
see him simultaneously on every step.

chaos of visions which haunt him and
sentiments which agitate him. Thus
we introduce the continuous into the

That is no exaggeration. We have

hibitions and gone out into the fresh
air wondering II the folly OF the So
called artists who conceived such
things had weight enough to keep It

piers.
Chivalry and the Round Table ro-
mances inspired the Gallo and Breton
legends; the Renaissance added an i'm
petus toward Greece rather than Rome.
indeed the very word "Romanticism"
gives a false impression. The Neo-
Celtic revival of the moment Is not a
mere result Of archaeological curiosity
but IAN impulse toward psychic resto-
ration and national synthesis," by
which the young writer's of France are
seeking light and power. .
NJ. SEIZURE reinforces the exposition
of his thesis with a poetic allegory.
"The Avatars and the Druidess." In the
manner of Balzac's "Seraphita." Gwin-
fea, the Celtic sybil, recounts her ex-
istence after falling from heaven with
Lucifer-did you know that Lucifer
took a lady with him on that famous
descent? 1t seems that she went
through successive reincarnations,
thus becoming acquainted with all the
religions of mankind, even to Chris
.ianity, in which she lost herself, a
final sacrifice.
The epilogue is a dream Of the au-
thor's. Lucifer and Gwinfea, borne by
Awo swift stars, enter the temple
of Divine Remembrance for a strange
communion rite, rising at last in a
spiral flight of luminous souls toward
the sun-"the torch of Lucifer unto the
star OF Christ" A symbol, doubtless,
of the mission OF France daughter Of
the Celts and heir of ancient civiliza-
tions, guide of the peoples through her
own disciplines, her transformations,
her wanderings and her sorrows, to-
ward a nobler ideal.
But however seductive this view and
however true some Of M. Seizures
words, we are bound TO protest that
although the Celtic spirit seemed to
have an influence upon the Middle
Ages, It had little place In the Renais-
sance, which began In italy with a
group of refugees, Byzantine Helle-
nists driven from home by the Turks.
The movement penetrated France In
the train of wandering warriors.
AS for Romanticism, which M. SEIZURE
calls the working OF Celtic yeast in
French bread, It is true Chateaubriand
was Breton. But before Chateau
BRAND came Andre Chenier-Greck on
his mothers side--the German Goethe
and the mighty Shakespeare, who was
neither Irish nor Gallo but thoroughly
English. Moreover those fathers OF
