Grave Purpose Behind
Writing of Fiction

Universal nature, too strong for the
petty fiber of the bard. sits on his neck
and writes through his hand; so that
when he seems to vent a mere caprice
and wild romance the issue is an exact
allegory. Hence Plato said that poets
utter great and wise things which
they do not themselves understand"
All the fictions Of the Middle ages ex-
plain themselves as a masked or frolic
expression Of that which in grave
earnest the mind Of that period toiled
to achieve. Magic. and all that Is
ascribed to it. is a deep presentment
Of the powers of science. The shoes
Of swiftness. the sword of sharpness,
the power of subduing the elements,
of using the secret virtues of min
erals, Of understanding the voices of
birds. are the obscure groupings Of the
mind in a right direction. The pre-
ternatural prowess Of the hero, the
gift Of perpetual youth and the like
are but the endeavor Of the human
spirit ito bend the shows Of things
to the desires Of the mind Ralph
