had endeavored to inspire his people,
to breathe new spirit into them
which would move them to revolution
ize their own lives, which would make
them coin their own destiny: a spirit
which would raise them to new
level of a higher dignity and creative
life. This statement will be better ap-
preciated as we analyze a few of his
poems.
Bialik was born in 1873 in a small
village in Russia 1t was providential
that he spent his childhood "on the
bosom of nature" where he imbibed
all the secrets and beauty of Gods
world, which he later revealed in
many of his Songs of Nature"
After the death of his father the
boy, Hahn Nachman, went to live in
bigotry with his grandfather,
stern fanatical jew of the old school.
They lived in greatest poverty.
In many of his poems the pictures
of want and suffering are no doubt
transactions from his own life. He
studied in Heder and went to Yeshi-
yah (Talmudical College, at the age
of thirteen. He was brilliant stu
dent and spent most of his time in
the study of the Talmud. 1t was
there that he began his poetic work.
should the Angel Ask Me-"
Bialiks little poem, "Should the An
gel Ask Me-" can serve as an auto
biography, rather as synopsis of his
biography, and at the same time fur
nsh us with keynote to his poetic
range. The angel asks the poet where
his soul is and he answers:
Somewhere in the world there is
peaceful village surrounded by
fortress of forestry and an azure sky
spreads over that village, an infinite
sky. Once a white, lovely cloud
roamed over the sky, and a lonely,
dreamy child gazed intensely at this
cloud, gazed and gazed until his soul
went out to that cloud
Did it melt there" asked the an
gel further, and the poet tells him
that golden sunbeam saved his soul.
Since then it has been playing and
frolicking with the rays of the sun
one of these sunbeams to look for
dewdrops, but it noticed an innocent
tear trembling in his eyes. The SUM-
beam shuddered, and his soul fell out
and sunk into the tear.

book, the Talmud, and in the Gemarah

quivered all alone"
did it suifocate there ?"
mo! 1t was quivering and singing
and various We're my songs; about
a small clear, cloud, about a golden
sunbeam and about a glistening
tear"
This is the key to his songs: Ma
ture, the everlasting Book, and Tears.
All kinds of tears Bialik possesses;
fondhng tears of joyful mother, inno-
cent tears of child, fiery tears of
anger, and scalding, burning tears

rived in this country, the humorous
ANALYSIS by BaalLashon has particu-
larry impressed itself upon me. The
author was all happy the morning of
Bialik's arrival, and when he met a
group of his Jewish colleagues he
asked whether they would go with
him to meet the distinguished guest
at the pier. "Are you referring to
Charlie CHAPLAIN" asked one; anoth-
er one thought he meant Irving Ber-
lin, who had just returned from his
honeymoon. Bialik's name none of
them knew. Later he met a group of
intelligent Jewish girls and asked
them whether they knew that BALL;
was coming to our shores. One of
these girls thought that Bialik was a
Spanish aviator, and another took him
for Hungarian prince.
The writer visited many Jewish
places of greater New York and no.
where was Bialik's name Known; GER
tainly no mention was made of his ar
rival. In the evening the author en-
tered synagog. There were old and
middle-aged Jews who discussed fer
vently Bialiks works and recalled the
days when Bialik held sway over Jew
ish thoughts and ideals. "What l
cannot understand" said one Jew, sis
the relation of American Jewry to
Bialik; what is there in common be-
tween them?" Another jew explained
the common relation by the following
anecdote:
Once a Jewish farmer in Russia
came to Yeshivah (talmudieal col
lege) and asked the Rosh- -Hayeshivah
(dean of the college, to pick for him
a nice son-in-law. The Dean asked
him how old his daughter was and
whether she was educated, whereupon
the farmer answered that he had no
daughter.
''Why do you need son-in-law %
'Well, you see, Rabbi, am rich; l
have everything: horses, cows, dogs,
chickens, geese--so l thought it
would be nice to have, also, a nice
son-in-law around the house"
BiaIik Among Americans
The same is true of American
Jews: they are rich, they have every
thing SO they think it is also nice
to have Bialik amongst them.
This may sound like farce, but it
contains a certain truth-a psyche
logical truth, anyhow. There is
certain missing link between Amer
lean Jewry and Bialik. 1t might not
be American Jewry's fault; however,
the fact remains, Bialik has been
known very little in this country, and
is still less understood by the younger
generation of American Jewry.
We cannot measure Bialik's writ
ings with the ordinary conventional
literary yard-stick. Some of Biaik's
poems rise above the sphere of mere
literature: they belong to that rare
class of inspired utterance for which
we have as yet no adequate name.
There are at least two literary Bia-
lik's-two in one, ! mean-Bialik the
Poet and Bialik the Prophet. His
poetical works are universal in char
acter and are appreciated in any Ian
guage if properly translated. His
Prophetic works are distinct and
unique in character, and cannot be
classed as mere literature or poetry.
Poetry and Prophecy

sublime sentiment that delights the
spirit, and is usually classified among

ed to adorn, so to speak, the prose of
our existence. A great many of Bia

the best of his poems transcend all
these qualities and functions. These
