A DETAILED REVIEW 

Mr. Andrew Lang's version of a deli; cate old French love story has been rightly called by Waltef^Pftter "a poet's JtranBlation." Continuing Mr. Pater has said: "What lives is the touch of poet­ry, of longing, 'of tender heart. •* * * ft lives and alw-ays must live, while the nature of .man is the same." And these, words have iorced themselves into my mind at the present moment, for I have just read a poem in the May issue of the University ofy Texas Literary Mag­
-azine which hag^ftppteaJed to me as wor­thy no less of the praise of Mr. Pater thai}, of the pen of Mr. Lang. It is a poem entitled "Where Have "You Been So Long," made tip of three stanzas,of three verses each and containilig all the elements of real poe.tiy. It is, indeed, "* poet's translation" of one of the simplest and,at the sfinie'time one of the tfyst beautiful pages in the great book ,of life. It is written byta man wholongrago ha.a proven himself to. jbe 
"the superior of all poets in the Univer­sity of Texa? past, present,'and,foi-all time to coifle. -It is a poem that ,can not be* criticised froawJthe standpoint of rules' and, usages that have been set as criterions by material minded-critic* and English Scholars, who" were possessed of more book learning than real*genius. Indeed, it is presnmpti'ous for a. Uni­versity stuc&nt to take the liberty to pass judgment upon this pciem; and con; s'equfiitly l=dnn't intend to assume the privilege. 1 merely say: "Read'it, and however old you. are, however , sour and pessimistic and' doubtful you are, it will fall.on the fevered spirit with a touch of infinite calm, and perhapsryou may find solfice and consolation in its lines." Perhaps the refrain: "And the years go by with"never a song Where have you been so long?" wtH can td mind the rnforgetable-re­
.frain of a bad, *&d, glad, mad old French poet who once exclaimed: "Where are the snows of yesteryear?,' 
But .what matter? It may serve to enable you to appreciate genius and i? 
is all-1 have to 'say. I dare hot-assume the power to criticise this beautiful lit­tle-gem: I have only, tried to give, you a vague and hazy notion of its.beauty and wonderful picture of itj< ''pathos and longing and tender heart," that seem shadowy and unreal awl yet true, "like tho^ellow sunshine, and the woods t>f that autumn day when a man learnei 
at hi. f^nli Trr'r rlrnrl 

An old habit that I formed years ago has" clung to me <with bull dog tpnapity. I always read all the poetry .in every magazine whose contents I peruse before I read one line of prose. So I turn to page-320 of the Magazine and there I find a Lullaby (After Fields), by Miss Bess B. Brown. And here I lb)d myself up:against it again, this little Lullaby is dainty, and fresh, and simple.' We know that tin? simple outpouring of pas-sion is apt to become tiresome to many of us, bgt it is -hardly true that such 
lines as 
"Sleeps my "liftle pui^ile violet,'. '! 


Little nestling, sweet-breathed dream," will ever, 'fail to delight us while Our better selves can:Still appreciate the 'simpler beauties-of Nature. Such lines 
as ... • "ThbU; -my dew-drop; thou,-my snow­
flake, •'— Thou, my-little tired sun-beam," are poetry—poetry.and naught.-else ;"and 
no less pan be said of them. " 
Now when Hearst's Idyll, appears 1 feel moref like I' am old company and breathe.a little freer, 'i'his poem i.^,good, but -it 'can not compare with the two preceding?"ones. It is worthy a place in the Magazine all rights and .the meter 
-and-thought and diction is good.^ But it 
[bears the marks of having been worked over and powdered and painted and .the last stanza caU^es us to inwardly won­der if. it has not accidentally strayed out of a Hymnal. ' 
"To• the Poet" is a rehashing in words somewhat different of an idea and a fact that have been admitted for lo! these many centuries; and yet somebody arises every fifteen minutes with a flour­ish of trumpets to. yell it again. Per-. ^®P®. the existence of. BUch, a condition argues the • world's increased morality and appreciation of/what is truth. How­ever this may be the point is not' to be addressed -to him, and cease to suffer 
from insomnia in ,the realization-of-"the 
fact that he is appreciated. ' terhaps he 
may. like the analysis and 	ponderous 
reasoning about "fame's deathless lamp" 
burning for him, 	-­
Until the -fabric of his thought shall 
J-^ seem, 

Reality, in some diviner day." '. 
For .myself -who am only a 	believer in 
the truth and not the advisability, of 
such things I take issue. I 	don't care 
what a poet is going to be two thousand 
years from now, for other _things_will^ 
be of more interest , to me then. If i 
can know him and love him now and be
.... ^ 


helped by'him I don't care whether he wins out in the long run or whether the brick' and mortar of Athens or the rail­way bridge constructed by some engi­neer who appreciated poetry like a swine appreciates pearls stands the. test, of time. Moreqyer, I like analysis only in the laboratory and then 1 think it should be eonfiiied to chemical compounds. Poets are not to-be analyzed; they are to be enjoyed; they are not fo be studied, but to be loved; they are not for knowledge. but for culture—to enhance our appre­ciation of life and our mastery over its elements. : New I may be wrong in this, but it a in ~ Substance jr.St what John Burroughs thinks about the matter and 111.admit that my opinion'is largely in­fluenced and molded by his thought. But bear in mind that this, is only one per­son's-opinidn of the poem under dis­cussion and' don't be so foolish as to .allow-what~-ia said heTe to influence 
your opinion one bit. 

The, last poem ifi the Magazine un­doubtedly owes its existence to the beauty of soiiie fair lady. !We can p&r­doji Hill when we consider "that, even so greftt a man as Poe once went into eestacies, because he saw a beautiful woman in ft garden of. roses when. the moon was full—and ma.vbe Poe was too. As a matter of fact if we will pause to 
tcoi* 

most •beautiful poetry the world has ever 
known was inspired by a woman Have 
you ever read fiurns's To Mary In 
Heaven? But-Hill's Sonne,t is all right. 
It is fourteen lines long, contains the 
required number of inches, feet, yards, 
rods, and miles, is faultfess 	in diction, 
artistically,.conceived, and polished to 
perfectiolflffn'd wlffct mcirc can you ask 
in a sonnet ? Moreover, "there are some 
exceptionally good lines in thjs sonffet. 
For example: 	• 
^^Ti^trunient can "imitate' t'He""(low . 
Of spirit melodies that interlace 
The rising and the falling of her voice," 
and again ' . . .. . ...j,.... "•Drea^-.ofr-oltl--Edenbttng#r:jn:iheK-:MMU And bea-uty haiints ter yoiing lips, red 
and-warm.".. -.—.. . 
In this issue-of the Mii^azine. the edi­
"iglit together six short-stories, one essay on Janl Austen .And Her "Work, ^ ah accounF cf A TurkislT Wedding, a good editorial, a German translation,' and the' Exchange Depart­ment is up to its usual standard of ex­
cejlence. . " 	. 

Miss Stedman's -story—The Reaily Worth While—is about her best con­tribution to the Magazine this year. She possesses a style that is always pleas­ing-and her plots are always well worked °11^. M\ss Stedman has contributed mora^to thei-. Magazine tltis year perhaps than any other mfimber lof the editorial board. Her stories'* are clever and ths 
tiers it .even more enjoyable than {he 
previous ones. 

' "The linp And The Tnger' by Misa Greer is one of the most artistic short stories that has ever (.appeared in' the Magazine. The plot is uirique and origi­iiul and huii^led in a mnst praiseworthy manner.'.-It is just such stories, clever/ artisticj.a,nd exceedingly ..pleasant jead­ing that go so far toward raising the standard of our Maga^inn in.the opinion .of outsiders and. at the same time 'stamp the author as a-possessor of real literary 
talent. 

A Turkish Wedding is a good de­scription of a1-wedding among the Turk­isli nobility. At least,!assume it is. As-a matter .of plain, fact I don't know anything about it, for I've never been there, and I-suppose there .are many others just like me. .-I experience the same feeling that-comes over me \yhen I read "Snowbound. It may be a good translation for all I kno\v,-but ainee I don't, know anytHing about'ifc I'll let it go at that. Therefore* "A Turkish Wed-, 
ding" is a „J1 i Sradr-irue -de-
