The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-11-19
By Upton Sinclair

pa lady Brahmin of New England.
Now let US see what they mean to
a woman Socialist.
The sharpened steel whips round, the
black guns blaze,
Waste are the harvests, mute the
songs of birds.
Out there in ice and mud the lowly
herds
Of peasant-folk in pitiful amaze
Take their dire portion of the grief
and want
Of this red cataclysm that has come
Upon the world. Colossal is the sum
Of bodies in that field the buzzards
haunt.
So, all forgot is Reasons high estate!
Where Man once climbed and vision
ed Love and God
He grovels now in primal Night.
Aye, men
Of mind are but as mindless brutes
again:
The clod, through evolution, to the
clod
Has travelled back-to feed, to breed,
to hate!
Amy Lowell had a garden. 1t was
a great and costly garden, with rare
plants from all over the world,
forest of trees to hide the poet from
strangers, and lighthouses providing
orchids and exotic blooms to stimu-
late her imagination. This garden
had been made by heE~ancestors, and
her mill-slaves paid for the labor of
many men to tend it. During the
world war she entered this garden
at night, and was unhappy, and she
tells you about it on two pages of
this same volume of Pictures"
First she lists the roses and the
phlox and the heliothrope and the
night-scented stocks and the folded
peoples and the fireflies and. the
sweet alyssum and the SNOWFALL
bush and the ladies' delight; then
she reveals her grief, and we discover
that it is not the red cataclysm that
has come upon the world, but the
thwarting of the dynastic impulses
Of Amy Lowell.
All, Beloved, do you see those orange
lilies?
They knew my mother,
But who belonging to me will they
know
When | am gone.
Also NJ. c. S. had a garden: made
with her husbands help, as respite
from the labor of editing Socialist
magazine. She had planted cuttings
got from the worling-class neigh
bors, and tended them with her own
hands, watering and working them
in the hot sun of Southern California.
Like Amy, the owner of this garden
went into it at night, and failed to
be completely happy-but for a
somewhat different reason.
! feel the terror in the world tonight
Unbridled lust of power, and bridled
lust
More cold but no less merciless. The
dust
Of persisted legions drifts upon the
bright
And tender winds of spring, a seal,
blood-red,
Upon mans last insanity. Surcease
Of war? All, so they thought! To
purchase peace
For aye, with their young blood! All,
so they said!
But peace is not upon the winds of
spring.
The nostrils of new wars flare wide,
and sniff
The dust Of heroes greedily, and fling
An evil breath upon the world-and
if
| chance to laugh because the spring
is here,
Pain stabs my heart and binds the
wound with fear!
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-11-19

) Search the books OF the lady
Cham of New England, and amid all
the lapidary work and bric-a-brac,
the rugs and tapestries and mosaics,
the furniture and jewels and cera-
mics, the carvings and ornaments
and clocks, the sword-blades and
poppy-seeds and fir-flower tablets,
the yuccas confiding in passion
vines and the turkey buzzards chatt-
ing with the condors, the Indians
climbing to the sky and the foxes
trying to rape the moon-amid all
this junk you will find here and
there one human note, and that is
when the poet admits that she is a
lonely and beaten woman. For exam
pie, in what she calls ga Fairy Tale"
we hear cry:
Along the parching highroad of the
world
No other soul shall bear mine COM
pany.
Always shall l be leased by SEM
blances,
With cruel impostures, which l trust
awhile
Then dash to pieces, as a careless
! boy
filings a kaleidoscope, which shatter-
ing
Strews all the ground about with
colored shreds.
This is reasonably good poetry;
and you will note that there is no
obscurity about it. you don't have to
puzzle over the meaning of a single
word, nor to know anything about
Japanese hokkus or fir-flower tab
lets of China. Alongside it l see that
sonnet by M. C. S. which caused
George Sterling to weep; and again
you will find that you don't have to
rack your brains. This poem bears
the title "Love," and when it first
appeared, in a Socialist magazine.
Luther Burbank called it 'the finest
thing of the sort ever born of the
human mind"
You are so good, so bountiful, and
kind;
You are the throb and sweep of
music's wings;
The heart of charity you are, and
blind
To all my weaknesses; your presence
brings
The ointment and the myrrh to salve
the thorn
Of daily fret of concourse. That YOU
live
Is like to bugles trumping Judgment
morn,
And stranger than the cry the new
i born give.
And yet, some day you will go hence.
Shall wander lonely here awhile, and
Then I; like you, shall lay me down
On, sweetheart, kiss me, kiss me
once again!
Oh, kiss me many times, and hold
me near:
For what of us, when we no mo,e
are here?
my friend Floyd Dell, whose adj
vice in matters literary is usually
excellent, tells me that l am barred
from effective discussion of this
woman poet by the fact of our rela-
tionship. Since l cannot change the
relationship, ! give the reader fair
warning, and endeavor to subdue nv
self to the role of reporter. For
whatever errors of taste of Judgment
may be found in this chapter, I am to
blame. | labored for five years be-
fore l got my wife's consent to pub
fish her sonnets; and l write this
chapter without her consent-because
/ know that if asked for it, l
wouldn't get It!

Money Writes

ZINES OF death, each nearly Thousand
miles long, to which several thousand
young men rushed each day to be
turned into rotting corpses. Four
years this continued; and never was
there such a test of woman poet.
1t is interesting to see what came
from the leisure class women, and
then what came from the rebel
women.
During the four years of the world
war, Amy Lowell was the undisputed
mistress of the poetical world of
America; and yol will find her re-
action to the war in a volume, epic
lures of the. Floating World" pub
lished in 1919. There are a total of
one hundred and seventy-four poems
in the book, and nine deal with the
war. One tells about landscape
architect who went crazy and de-
signed a garden like a fortress, and
so lost his position and committed
suicide. Another describes a cam
ouflaged battleship, as seen from a
ferry-boat in Boston Harbor. An
other describes a fort; and so that
you may know what great guns mean
to leisure-class lady, here are the
eight lines of the climax of this art
work:
Is it possible that, at night,
The little flitter-bats
Hang under the lever-wheels Of
the disappearing guns
In their low emplacements
To escape from the glare
Of the search-lights
Shooting over the grasses
To the sea?
During this same four-year period
the rebel poet was entirely unknown
to the critical world-as she is still.
Her sonnets concerning the war ap-
peared in obscure Socialist papers,
and after the war twenty-five of
them published in a little pamphlet
selling for twenty-five cents. 1t is
an iron-clad rule of the leisure-class
reviews that no book exists at less
than dollar and a half; cheaper
books can't afford to advertise, and
what are reviews for? Three dollars
is a better advertising price, while
a special numbered edition on hand
fooled Japanese paper bound in vel
lum at seven-fifty per copy is the
seal of Immortality. The "Sonnets
of NJ. c. S." have been the solace of
rebel workers in sweatshops and jails
all over the world; but the naughty
gentlemen of the capitalist critical
machine do not know them. I have
shown you what great guns mean to

I INDBERGH is being trotted around
- the country by the Guggenheims,
to boost aviation, so that in case the
Guggenheim copper mines in Brazil
are threatened by an enemy the Uni
ted States government will have
plenty of airplanes to drop bombs on
those who would slash the Guggen-
helm wallet. There is a nickel under
every heel in the capitalist world and
it is regretable that our fellow citi-
zens, male as we'll as female do not
see the mailed fist Of American i'm
perialism behind the pink face OF
Lindbergh and behind his great fly

in the same way that the British i'm
perialists use the beer-drinking,
happy-go-lucky prince Of Wales-as
an imperialist drummer.

me for my critical remarks on Lind

one of many who think Lindbergh is

devil of it, because this awfully nice,
dumb kid, who is beloved by millions

is the best possible tool in the arsenal
of the militarists to prepare the can
