The Yale Literary Magazine (Vol. LXXXVIII, No. 2, November 1922)

The succession of numberless years and the very flight of time have left that monument still higher than the pyramids of kings, for it was a good thing, and he knew it, and we to-day know it. Perhaps it is well for us to stop a moment and wonder a little just what we are leaving, which after two thousand years, will stand so, firm-fixed, splendidly living. We look at this century of ours, we try to see it as might a future historian, and find a surprising hodge-podge. Fully judge it without the future, we cannot, yet, because everything is moving at such a terrific rate, these days, the present and the future are almost one, and we are thus enabled to pass partial judgment at least. Partial judgmentand on what? A world disillusioned, its ideals smashed, or, more tragic even, forgot; in the field of its arts, new music, new poetry, new painting; and over and above all, Science triumphant. We need say nothing about the world in generalit is out of place here, and we all know too much of wars and rumors of wars, and the rest. So let us consider a moment then, the arts.Such new arts they are, too, and like most youngsters, so very self-assertive! Their Muses are flapper-muses, and, like their[40] physical prototypes, cause havoc enough. We have with us the arts, though unimagined, yet to be of Shelleys prophecy, and, to Shelley, who loved Beauty and knew her, they would indeed be unimaginable! Poetry, unformed and unthought; great loose-joined masses of prose called novels; canvases, inch-deep with modelled paint; statues of featureless faces, or rectangular muscles; and music, uninspired, discordant aggregations of notes. We grant these illegitimate members of the progeny immortal of painting, sculpture, and rapt poesy do fall, under our very eyes, prostrate along the path to lasting fame, with that goal still not even in sight, nevertheless, men and women are gulled by them, look, and admire even, in their breathless attempt to be astride the times. Therein lies the tragedythat they are accepted. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
