LoUe at First Hand
Great Thing in Life

First love comes before the age of
knowledge. 1t is the only love entire
ly unemcumbered with ideas and pre-
conceptions. How little it has to do
with words, with talk! 1t knows no
terms. It Is the thing itself from
which terms and institutions have
grown up. First lovers get love at
first hand, instead Of getting first the
idea of romance into which to try to
fit themselves and other people, Louise
Townsend Nicoll writes, in the Cen
fury. They seldom talk. They get
acquainted in other ways-by being
near each other, by looking at each
other, by softly, shyly touching hands.
They do things together-play games,
run races. AS watchful as small ami
mails. they learn infinitely each about
the other. But they do not talk.
They give each other things, always
In fair exchange, and wear them out
with carrying about. When they must
know facts to supplement their find
mgs, they ask-short, blunt questions.
Opinion and discussion have little
play.

lie lived in the Seventh century in
Norrhumbria, the son Of a farmer. and
his poetic gifts We're said to be of mi
raculous origin.
AZ drinking parties each person
present was supposed to compose and
sing a verse. Caedmon was unable TO
compose a line, and when the harp
was brought out he always fed from
the festive party.
on one such occasion when he was
lamenting his lack of poetic ability. a
vision appeared to him and inspired
him to write a poetic version of the
Creation. The manuscript OF this
work, supposed to have been composed
by Caedmon, is preserved at Oxford.
Caedmon translated into AnglO-Saxon
the whole Of sacred history. He Be-
came a monk in the convent of which
the famous Hilda was abbess.
There he lived and sang and died, In
the odor Of sanctity, and was after.
