other artists are commonly over
praised by their own special follow
ing and underestimated by the rest.
But one does not remember to have
heard a single adverse criticism OF
Mr.. Robinson's work. And to ex-
plain this is probably the fairest
way to criticize him.
He works in his own way. and he
has no motives or mannerisms ute
rior to his work. He is as remote
from any moral or social propaganda
on the one hand as he Is on the
other from any special cult of artis-
try. The modernist or the traditional
school may claim him, but he belongs
to neither of them. He writes In
verse always; with a command OF
metrics thoroughly workmanlike
and adequate. yet without notable
excellence, and in a style so careful
and so fine that it's most laborious ac-
curacies have the appearance of ease.
There is very little nature in his
work; there is a great deal of human
nature and more than a little
philosophy none too optimistic in
tone. His primary concern is with
people of every sort: to characterize
and to interpret what they think
,hnf tryh
do to themselves and to one another;
with some observations upon what
their destiny does to them. Like
Pinero his greater interest is in those
individuals who have some twist or
kink of evil fortune in them: with
those who somehow or other are lin
wrong" rather than those who are
normally happy and beautiful. But
it is a human interest nevertheless:
not scientific, nor out of any moral
aloofness, but intensely personal
and keenly concerned with person.
ality.
His merit in this work is wisdom;
his fault is obscurity. For myself, /
can clearly understand about half
of what Mr.. Robinson has written.
So much the worse. of course, for
me. But the question is: How much
effort and power of comprehension
is the artist justified in demanding
Of his public? Or is true that. as
Amy Lowell says. His heart may
overflow with high thoughts and
sparkling fancies. but IL he cannot
convey them to his reader by means

catch at the ear only to comfort
themselves out of hearing, and
sprinkling of rimes that sometimes
are not rimes. And the worst of 1t
is that this apparently objectionable
carelessness Is meticulously and
fiercely careful. For it represents
Miss Lowell celebrating her artistic
inheritance by dancing somewhat in
decorously upon the grave of conven-
ton, clanking the chains from which
she has freed herself. and notifying
the strabismic universe of her ex-
ceeding freedom. She is finely
imaginative poet so long as she is
merely making poetry. So long as
she is only thinking about art she
is a sane and scholarly critic. 1t is
only when she let's criticism intrude
upon creation that she tends momen-
tarily to see herself in the part and
to pose before the comic mirror of
modernism.
VI.
Mr.. Edwin Arlington Robinson
occupies a unique position in Ameri-
can poetry. He has been called "its
profoundest voice, its deepest vision.
its most enduring utterance." And
this dictum would probably be in
dorsed not only by whatever read
ers are familiar with his work but
by vastly greater number who are
not. Certainly we have no poet SO
little read who is so generally re-
spected. nor any one SO highly hon.
ored who is not far more generally
known. The phenomenon is q
strange one in this generation, which
tends to confuse genius with popu-
larity and to ridicule whatever II
does not readily understand. Our
