The “My Window.” - And if you: have seen me when I slept, ~ "Book Rives (West-Running Brook, by Robert Frost, Henry Holt & Co,) As a rule, modern poets do not grow old gracefully, They exhaust themselves published “early work” appears side by side with new poems which bear the marks of effort rather than: inspiration. They try very hard to see things.as they used to see‘ them; and the result is as pamful as a fixed gmile on a sad face, In West-Running Brook Robert. Frost has somehow avoided these pitfalls, Per- haps he wouldn’t even like it said, that he|’ was growing old gracefully.. Yet the fact pte oe -widor and tensity Of his” egtlier work] that he is no longer capable of long passages of sustained power, such as “Home-Burial” or “A Servant to Seérv- ants” in North of Boston. Nor has he shrunk from publishing poems left over from earlier periods. He frankly gives the dates, as if willing. to admit that he has arrived at the age of reminiscence. From this ‘it follows- that the book is a collection of scattered thoughts, the unity of North, of Boston or Moun- tain Interval, If his. strength has failed him, Mr. Frost has lost none of his charm. Instead of straining fof the old effects that made him a name, the -poet actépts his milder best section of the book ‘is called “Fiat Nox” and is introduced by this couplet : “Let the night be too dark fér me to. see _ Into the future, Let ‘what will bé be.” If the poems “which toilow are the. saddest in the collection as well as the finest, let it not be thought that Mr. Frost. has turned pessimist. He is too much a lover of nature to hate life. His’ attitude is one of acceptance, in which there is joy and faith as well as sadness. Turning his back on the human psy- chology which was the essence of North of Boston, Frost has become ‘more of a natural psychologist than ever, ‘A tree to him has'as much character as a man, if not more; and it is not only for their form and color that he is fascinated by4 woodsy things. I. like best of all the poems in this book one called “Tree at It looks. in at him, and he looks out at it: : “But, tree, I have’ seen you taken and tossed, You have seen me when I was taken and swept And all but lost.” Echoes of all Mr. Frost’s past work, however,. may still be found in West- Running Brook. “Over Back,” a series of four poems, recalls the keen New Eng- land studies -of Mountain Interval; the title poem is a development of the kind of metaphysical fantasy that was given free rein in the collection called New Hampshire;: and there are even faint echoes of the poet’s early er in San Francisco, where : : “All the dust the wind blew ‘higlf © But I was one of the’ children told Some of the dust was really gold,” The poet has never before touched on. this period in his work...Amy Lowell suggested that_his.mind was receptive to one’ kind of impressions only; the kind he could’get in New England.

Delegate from Denmark Elected President McCracken having welcomed the Assembly to Vassar very: graciously, the President of the Council opened the proceedings. The Assembly then elected Mr. Ralph Seward, head of the delega- tion from Denmark (or New York’ Uni- versity): as its President. The choice, fortunately agreed upon ‘n advance, proved excellent.

The: Assembly started its business promptly with a resolution brought in by the head of the delegation from the Netherlands (Mr. John’, Rockefeller, ‘of Princeton) that the international character of, the |, Secretariat should be _ strictly preserved and high ‘offices more evenly distributed among the Powers. At present there are five chief*officegrheld by the Great Pow- ers, thus tending to make the Secretariat ‘a center of. political influence. _ Miss Gell- horn, representing Italy,*’at once’ took the floor to defend the wielding of politi- cal influence : Italy is, a, Jarge.t nation with vital “ime: cc... hoeterisive’ duties ; *shet” needs influence and will use it for her own national good; this was the -burden of Miss Gellhorn’s remarks, forcefully put and forcefully expressed. No one agreed excep# a few minor Powers like, Chile and- New Zealand, but* everyone applauded. The ‘only cloud arose from Miss Gellhorn’s quoting the old maxim that “God helps those that help. them- selves.” We heard that phrase thrown back at us again and again, but only once with effect. A delegate from the Netherlands (that is, Princeton) | in- quired: ““To° what dées Italy Wish. to help herself?” Twice again, Italy, in the persons of Miss Gellhorn and Miss Fain rose to defend het ungrateful but em- phatic position, and was each time gladly hailed.
