22 A HOLIDAY ON OLYMPUS. The Call is pleased to print another chapter of gossip that floats from the summit of Olympus. Beneath spreading branches there was congregated a company of friends. How they talked and what they said has been set aown for the entertainment of the outside world. That they are not unanimous in wisdom may be gathered from the fact that they are not unanimous in anything.

That they are earnest is. evidenced by the im- petuous manner in which they fight for their opinions. DRAMATIS The William Keith. Karl Howard. lna D.

Second Charles A.Keeler. Mrs. Edna Snell Poulson. The Adeline Knapp. The Scribe Mrs.

Schermerhorn. Kenneth Charles Edwin Markham. Charles Warren Stoddard was the guest of the holiday-maters on Olympus at their last assembling. "You won't miss me," The Artist had written from the mountains, whither he had traveled in search of the ever-elusive "picy." "You will have Charlie Stoddard and you'll never miss me." But we did miss him, sorely. Hygeia and The Dilettante, too, were absent in the Yosemite, whence both sent greetings.

"You will have all the more poetry because I am not there," was cruel Hygeia's closine sentence in her letter. "Please tell them all how much I regret that I am so far away," The Dilettante wrote. "I don't know what I should say, were I there, of the influence of poetry on life. My whirligig life is just now the sort of poem that Chimmie Fadden would call a perpetual 'song and But to be serious. Poetry has been and is the vehicle in which most of us ascend the heights.

More than any other influence it inspires our li7es with love for nature, for our country and our for beauty and truth, and for art itself. By instinct and by reason we love and hate, like the-beasts, those things that are eood or bad for our safety, but as human beings it becomes a part of our happiness to praise what we think is good, or damn what we know is bad. We want to sing the good, to build it, to paint it, to sculpture it, and "make us music that shall all express it," and to be told of it in words so pat that they will make the feeling come when we read. It is the office of poetry to carry us above our instincts, our reason, into a realm where our thoughts, our impulses, our actions are cruided and prompted from a higher source than these. Under the influence of ooetry 3 make for better thin es, always, and always shall so long as we have our Donatellas, our Malcolms, our Runnymedes.

It was handsome of The Dilettante to remember us for so long a time amid the beauties of Yosemite. Apropos of those same beauties, The Scribe told a capital one on John Muir. The hero of the glaciers had stopped for a night at Macauley's famous tavern on Glacier Point. In the early morning he arose and wandered off up the point. He stood gazing out across the valley, drinking in, as only a man like himself could, the majesty of that marvelous vista of all creation and the kingdoms thereof, when Macauley himself came up behind him.

Every one who has been in the Yosemite will recall Macauiay and the peculiarly rich character of his Scotch. He clapped the scientist on the shoulder. "Ah, now, Misther Muir," he said what'll ye be thinkin' o' that sight now? Ain't that rustic?" But if The Artist, Hygeia and The Dilettante were away, others of our summer flitters had winged their way back. Heterodoxia had returned to make things lively for us in her usual inspiring fashion, and The Babes-in-the-Woods were back from the Redwoods, full of enthusiasm and of plans for a cottage in the Berkeley hills, whence in due time we shall have more rare poems and beautiful pictures from these rarely gifted souls. We were a confiding group.

The balmy air, the glorious view, the mellow Califofnian sunlight sifting down through the leaves, the melodious murmur of the little Btream running among the willows, all THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JULY 28, 1895. these conspired to fill our souls with peace, with love for ourselves and all mankind. Who would have dreamed that Runnymede, the gentle, would be the one to explode a bomb in this peaceful retreat? But he did it with a lightness that showed the cruelty to be premeditated. "We have been talking about poetry," said he. "I am going to suggest that we each tell we mean by poetry.

Donatella, what is your definition of poetry?" A shiver ran through the group, but Donatella answered with awe-inspiring ease. Poetry to me is the language of the gods, translated for man. Runnymede And your deiinition, Heterodox ia? Heterodoxia The emotions of the soul, rhythmically expressed. Let us hear what the First Babe-in-the- Woods has to say. First Babe-in-the-Woods 1 would say that poetry is the highest expression of man in his objective and subjective nature, in emotional, artistic and rhythmical language.

The Scribe (sotto Out of the mouths of babes. Well, Chiel, what do you think about it? The protest. The wise man phuns definitions. They are not to be given out of hand. I object to definitions.

If you ask me about the poetic form I would say that it is the natural expression of the primitive man; that it is the language of the higher emotions of primitive peoples, and belongs to the youth of the world. That is of the poetic form of matter. Taking what we understand as poetry in the universal sense, I should say it is the harmonious utterance of the spirit in i its higher relations to the universe, whether expressed in prose or verse, or in painting, music or sculpture. But I cannot give you a definition. Donatella No one ever did give a definition of poetry.

The think Runnymede should give us his definition. Runnymede Oh I am waiting to be heard last. Donatella Yes; so that he can come forth in glory and shine, after putting us all on this rack. disclaims the insinuation and appeals to Kenneth Kenneth think poetry is too elusive a thing to be accurately defined. Oh, you were prompted by The Chiel Kenneth Malcolm (disdaining to notice the interruption) But as these men of earth like definitions and must have them, I would say that, looked at from the modern standpoint, poetry ia the rhythmical expression of beauty.

I say rhythmical. I doubt if any prose can be called poetry. You can say it is poetical, but not that it is poetry. Runnymede You are growing didactical. Kenneth Malcolm Looked at from its purpose I should say that it is the interi pretation of life, just as all art is an interi pretation of life.

On the other hand it has been called the impassioned expression in the face of all science. I might say that my idea of poetry lies within these three definitions. Runnymede And now for what the Second Babe-in-the-Woods thinks. Second Babe-in-the-Woods I ohould say that poetry is the concrete expression, in rhythmical form, of the ideal. Runnymede What has our Charles to say on this great subject Whatever touches the heart most deeply that is poetry but, really, Runnymede, you must give us your idea.

was' a general call for Runnymede's Runnymede Poetry, to me, is the song of the soul. It is not necessarily denned in words, nor is it confined to the human mind, except in its interpretations. The sea, yonder, is an everlasting poem. Second May I ask a question? You consider that poetry is an art, do you not? lt is both an art, and something greater than what we technically call art. Second But you consider poetry different from any other art different from paiifting, for instance? Runnymede It includes all artistic forms of expression.

The painter is a poet. The sculptor is a poet. Music is the expression of certain emotions in the soul. We considering now the influence of poetry on life. First The ages of power in the world have been the ages of idealism.

The poet is the prophet and sees in life the one whose office it is to lead us to the highest idealism. lf I may speak from my own experience, so far as my observation has gone, I am unable to see that poetry has the slightest effect upon the lives of the poets themselves. Look at Verlaine. Watson. Poe, Byron, Swinburne and a dozen others whose expression of themselves by their lives has been nothing like what JEtunnymede calls the song of their Who knows what their lives might have been but for their poetry? We can only judge them by what chey are, and their moral range is certainly lower than that of the average man.

But look at Browning, at at all the great names in poetry. cannot see that poetry had any particular influence upon their lives as we know them by general report. Do you mean that as a positive statement, or do you simply interpose it as a suggestion that poets may fail as well as others? mean that there is no salvation in poetry itself. The poetical diathesis, so to speak, seems to have no connection with ethical standards. At the same time, I will admit that if you ask what ts the influence of poetry in my life, I must say that I get from it an uplift.

I have received consolation, courage, reconciliation from reading the poets. I can meet any emergency of life better through having fortified myself with the poets. Second lt is interesting to me to note who have been and are most influenced by poetry. The minstrels, for instance, seemed to take it home to themselves more than any other people have ever done since history began. In childhood we are most deeply affected by poetry.

The more natural and childlike the nature is the more it enjoys poetry, and the more cultured and refined we are the less we are affected by it. May we never outgrow our childhood, then! First l. thinK the poet must be uplifted by the poetry as he writes. It seems to me that the poet has an integer emotional nature than any other man; it oftener runs away with him, and he is oftener led astray by it. But take Shelley and they must surely haye been uplifted by their poetry.

The think it is not so much that the poet has an intenser emotional nature than his fellow, but his is a moro primitive order of mind. The immediate necessity of expression is greater with him and he takes the more primitive form for his expression. If he writes he writes poetry. In his life he is apt to run into excesses that the more contained soul avoids. Poets are always eccentric.

They are always young. Their art is much less "subtle than the art of prose. It belongs to the childhood of the race. I do not know but that I am of the opinion that we have passed the stage of racial development when anything can be said in verse that cannot be better said in prose." A general "Oh, Chiel! Chiel!" Kenneth The heretics we have always with us. The do not deny that poetry has had its essential place in the past, nor that the poetry of the past has its essential place in the present, out the world is outgrowing the poetic form of expression.

Our younger poets to-day are driven to dire straits to produce their verses. Most of our poetry is a mere straining after effect. Kenneth Malcolm And it gets it, too. The Our poets strive after the weird, the grotesque, the uncouth in their agonies at what they are wont to call their self-revelations, but which are rarely more than painful exposures of their cranial caverns. I believe that the great poems have all been written that the poetic form of expression belonged to a less highly specialized period of tne world's history.

by The Scribe: A great howl of protest here arose, all talked at once, and The Chiel was suppressed, although Runnymede, with studied politeness, asked her if she had anything further to The have not said all I started to say, although I perceive that I have reached the limit of this assembly's tolerance. But look over the field of modern poetry and say what sane man can tell what our poets are driving at. They talk about "lewd stars" and ''mounting waves." They tear the language limb from limb in their efforts to express that which is inexpressible, unexistent. They give us words, words, words, wrenched from their natural meanings, and arranged in all sorts of unnatural forms. The poetical words have all been said, and we are coming tipon a time when the.

world wants thoughts instead of fancies, and at this period of our intellectual development the natural vehicle of our intellectual expression is prose. Malcolm (who has been with difficulty restrained during these remarks by The have the distinction to disagree with nearly everything The Chiel has said. First of all, it is not true, in my judgment, that all the great poems have been written. Poetry will exist so long as the world exists. Science itself cannot destroy poetry.

Science only removes one veil of mystery to reveal another. Prose cannot express all that there is to be expressed. We need poetry to express that fleeting, elusive song of life that is as real as anything in life. Anything that can be as well expressed in prose as in Verse, I will agree witn The Chiel, is no proper theme for a poem. I doubt, for instance, whether Pope's Essay on Man could be called a poem.

lt is prose. Now take such a thing as Shelley's Prometheus; take such delicate imagining as hia Skylark, or Keat's Ode to a Grecian Urn, and no prose could express their delicious beauty. Poetic beauty demands both the music and the art that are granted to the poet, but not to the prose writer. The must disagree with my worthy neighbor in his denial of music and art to the prose writer. But my, strictures are against the poete of the day.

They still serenade Shelley's Skylark, and know not that Prometheus Is unbound, once and for all. Second Babe-in-the- Woods I want both to agree and to disagree with The Chiel. I strongly dissent from the idea that the great poetry has all been written. But on the other hand I think poetry is, and should be, the expression of a childish mind. That is, it should be frank and genuine.

Not an undeveloped mind, but childish in the sense of directness. I agree with The Chiel, too, that our modern poets are wont to give more attention to expression than to thought; to art for art's sake, rather than to art aa the interpretation of life. If poetry does not express a vital idea it is not poetry. But when It does express such an idea it is the most potent influence we have in life. Poetry, in the sense ox all spiritual aspiration, all uplifting tendency and ideal desires on the part of man, is the thing above all else worth living for.

Science teaches us that which is, but poetry points us to that which should be. Ability is not one of the most essential functions of life. The greatest thine to have is a desire for the and that is what real poetry gives us. It inspires us with a wholesome discontent that is good for us. It shows us a vista beyond.

It is the concentrated essence of the desire for the ideal. Among the great poets there is one I love the best of all. His life was a pdem and his poetry is full of life itself. Good people understand it and are better for it, and bad people misunderstand it and are the worse for their failure to comprehend. His influence has been limited, thus far, but I believe it is bound to increase, and that it will tell for power in the years to come.

I mean Walt Whitman. Donatella We shall never be able to live without poetry. Its influence is distinctly ennobling and purifying more so, even, than that of music, which is transitory. Poetry we take into our hearts and lives and it sings itself to us always. Poetry is the supreme influence in human life.

It is a matter of regret only that poets themselves enjoy possibly as a permanency less of the abiding fruits of their own works than others. But as a compensation the power which enables a human mind to create has in it a joy, a passionate joy, which in itself has a tendency to disturb the mental equilibrium, but yields a pleasure so exalted, so intense, that to feel it once is worth a life of suffering. The prose writer has no conception at all of the creative faculty which belongs to the poetic genius. The prose writer deals generally with the seamy side of life. The poet has the power to create a world of his own and to introduce into that world all the sympathies that he has created.

God is the central idea of all forms that have life or can live. He speaks to us in poetry. The base materialist, like The Chiel, cannot read his message, but it is there for all who can read it. All history shows us that poetry is the mainspring of the influence under which great national movements are brought to their completion, and, as the Second Babein-the-Woods very properly put it. the only thing in life worth living for is the ideal.

The real amounts to nothing. There is nothing in the real life that is not common to the beasts of the field. It is the ideal that gives happiness, and the ideal is simply poetry. If our minds cannot be lifted "above the dull reality of the daily life, for myself I should pray mother earth to oren her arms and take me, bury me out of sight, for aside from the ideal and the poetical, which mean the same thing, there is nothing in life. The Despite my heresies, I can assent to that last.

I would, however, differentiate between the ideal, the poetic, which are the loftiest influences in life, but which I still contend are not limited to the set form of art which we call poetry, and the poetic form of expression itself. That, I contend, is a lower form of art than prose, and one which will not continue to prove adequate to express the intellectual life of so highly specialized a creature as the nineteenth century man. With races, as with individuals, we are religious, poetic, mystical in childhood, metaphysical in youth and scientific in maturity. We are entering upon the scientific ape of our racial existence, and verse is not the expression of science. Malcolm Religion has had an immense influence upon the human race, and yet the highest religious ideas are poems.

In fact, religion in the youth of the world descended to the poets in the morning of time. The vision of God is the creative man, the idea of heaven and the idea of responsibility. All these came as revelations to the primitive poets. Aristotle tells us that poetry possesses a higher truth and a higher seriousness than history. From peasant to ting it moves and appeals to every heart along the whole gamut of life.

The influence of poetry is largely an unconscious one, but day by day and year by year it leaves an impress on our thoughts. Like some airy and invisible architect, it shapes character. Many of the opinions of the world have been formed by the poets. The editor strengthens his argument from Shakespeare; the lawyer, the orator, all turn to them for confirmation. The poet in his highest aspect may be considered a seer.

His face is to the future, and from his high place he forecasts the moral grandeur of the race. like that remark of Aristotle's, that poetry possesses a higher seriousness than history. I have just come from an intellectual center in this State where they hardly consider poetry as serious, but look upon it more as a sort of literary bric-a-brac. I met there a noted English woman of letters who told me she finds that there is no hope for poetry in California, nor any hope that there will ever be any poets in the State. Kenneth Malcolm Why, this is delightful.

Your English woman of letters is perspicacious beyond her kind. Did she give any- reason for her opinion? Oh, yes, it was that the landscape does not lend itself to poetry. It is too vast and expansive to furnish material for poetry. She claimed that poetry requires nesting-places, glades and cozy nooss, "such as we have iv England." The Ah, yes, and Byron's Dally tea is ready, Snug coterie, and literary lady! Which very apt quotation, Chiel, reminds us of the flight of time. It was, indeed, time that something reminded the Olympians of mundane affairs, of trains to get and of duties to perform in the busy world below.

One may not linger always among the beneficent hills, but, fortified by poetry, as Heterodox ia had expressed it, we separated, Runnymede reminding each that our next assemblage would be within the borders of Bohemia.
