-GREAT IDEALISTS -
ALSO REALISTIC
“Aristopharies’ Om Omelet Vulger
‘in Detail, But Ideal
in Toto.
PLATO NOT DEAD TO US
“The terms ‘Realism’ and ‘Idealism’ are.
as vague and difficult to defme-as ‘Clas-
"said Dr. Paul
day evening, April 29. “The best writers
transcend the distinction. But one can
distinguish between a higher and lower
realism, a stronger and a weaker ideal-
ism. The higher realism concerns truth
and concreteness, the lower, insistence on
sordid details; the stronger idealism is ga
noble interpretatiion of life, the weaker
an evasion, a flight from unpleasantness.”
The first of the great writers, Homer, f
mate the union between the higher real-
ism and the stronger idealism. He. shows
us an entire civilization so clearly that
we know it better than any except our
own; not by mere enumeration of details,
but by the artistic use of them, and con-
tinuity of physical sequence.
Every gentleman has a list of things
that he never metitions. Homer’s list is
unusually long; he does not talk about
details of animal existence, the weather,
indigestion, the minor miseries of mortal
life. This is a kind of idealism that
modern writers call the “fear of fac-
ing life.” Besides this negative idealism
of omission, Homer-has a positive ideal-
ism that is seen in the whole temper and
spirit of his works. However terrible
life may be, it never loses its zest, its dig-
nity, its beauty. One finds no trace of
the low tide of sordid black dispair of
American realistic tragedies like Elmer
Gantry. .
Idealism in Lyric Poetry
Lyric poetry hardly raises the issue be-
tween realism and idealism. The Greek
lyricists dwell on food and drink, speak
fully of their feelings and passions ; they
never_let concealment prey overlong upon
them. Whatever realism they show lies
in their satirical touches.
The belief in an apsolute. beauty is
the supreme idealism, and that is Sap-
pho’s. The lyrics of Sappho are a theme
for rhapsody; not analysis.
Pindar, the lyric poet of whom we
know the most, is an idealist in two as-
pects: the grand style, and the power
of Greek literature to transfigure ex-
perience. Our chief pleasure in any ex~-
perience is in its after taste, its memories.
Since Pindar wrote there will always
be “some people whom his poems can
startle more than any \personal experi-
ence. He is also the\ unapproachable
model of the grand style.
Greek Tragedy Develops Ireal
Plato tells of Socrates saying that the
real poet could do tragedy and comedy
equally well. The Greeks could discrimi-
nate, however; they did not look for
every pleasure in tragedy. The Greek
tragedy is the development of idealism;
it stimulates actuality. Realistic detail
would have been out of keeping with its
stately conversations. Euripides, how-
ever, is praised by modern critics for add-
‘. ing bourgeois realism to a_type of work
unsuited to it. He brings common people
on the stage and uses vulgarisms and the
kind of word that the: lady could not
find in Dr. Johnson’s Dictionary.

Dr. S y Likes Bryn Mawr
“I am ftoo tired to think of anything
more to ‘say,” said Dr. Shorey, when in-
terviewed after his lecture, “except how
delighted I am to, be back again at Bryn
Mawr. I first thught here at a sensitive
period. Bryn Mawr is perhaps the only
place that has ever engaged my affections’
as a place. The welcome I received to-
night warmed the cockles of my heart.”
hen asked if Bryn Mawr seemed
the same as when he was here, Dr.
Shorey said that he really could not tell.
“How do I know what you young ladies
are thinking about now? a \

FRENCH POETRY
CHANGED BY WAR
Claudel Led - Me Movement of
“Neo Symbolists” to
Acceptance.
M. FAY HAS NEW FIELD
French poetry, according to M. Fay,
exchange professor at Columbia, who
spoke before the French Club in Taylor
Hall on Saturday evening, April 30, be-
came most original and keen as a result of.
the recent great moral crisis, the World
War. Its present tendency is towards a
technical renaissance, which will serve
as the point of departure from: which
writers of the future may learn to ex-
press, by means of new poetical instru-
ments, the more complex emotions which
man has begun to analyze. The modern
ear and intelligence are not yet ac-
customed to these theories, but, with
time, the world will come to realize that
their importance lies in the fact of their
expression of that which is most “aigu
et tendu,” and in the new creative forces
which they put to work.
The only possible way in which to
define poetry concisely is by means of
contrasting it to other forms of litera-
ture. Whereas history is concerned with
events and has a tendency toward realism,
the novel with the development of char-
acters and a plot, and the drama with
some sort of social problem, poetry must
be spontaneous, original, and concerned
with the freedom of the human soul; the
important characteristic of this last es-
sential is the way in which it varies ac-
cording to the country and the civiliza-
tion in and by which it is conceived.
French Are Intellectual
The French poetry differs materially
from the man and the Anglo-Saxon;
the latter tw@may be likened.to a kind
drunkenness, a delirious
enthusiasm expresses only the in-
dividuality o poet; it is not intelli-
gent, but, rafer, incredible. The Frerich
poetic exaltation is very different, since
in it we find a mania for thought and for
analysis; there is a combination of the
exalted sentiment with the intelligence

DANCES OF DEATH
TO BE DRAMATIZED
G. Prokosch Has Arranged a’
Series of Pantomimes on
Diverse Themes.
PEJAWAH PLAYS FLUTE
Novel dances ors mediaeval and primi-
tive themes will be presented this Friday
evening at 8 o'clock in the Cloisters by
a number of students. Miss Prokosch |
has composed and- directed this pageant.
The principle group of dance panto-
mimes is based on old wood-cuts of the
Dances of Death by Holbein. These
macabre themes have been set to modern
music. Miss Prokosch will impersonate
Death, with Alice ae in the roll of
the Gypsy.
~ Other dances are a series of the
Elements and an Indian Ritual, which is
modeled on authentic American Indian
ceremonies. It is rumored that one of
the members of the Pejawah Tribe is to
furnish the musical accompaniment on

DR. RUFUS JONES
TELLS OF INDIA
Eastern Thinkers,
Jesus, Seek in Vain for
Infinite.
MEETING WITH GANDHI
One of the most pathetic words in all
religious literature is a word in Sanscrit,
which means “the impossibility of find-
ing God,” and which occurs again and
again in all the sacred books of India.
“When the seeker of God has climbed
as far as the ladder of reason or logic
will take him, he expresses his defeat by
this one hopeless word. He uses all the
ingenuity of his intellect and draws on
all the-reason-of wisdom and insight, then
says ‘God is not there.’ ”
There is a reason for this feeling of
utter helplessness which permeates the
inhabitants of India. Dr. Rufus Jones,
speaking in Chapel Sunday evening, May.
1, gave as this reason the fact that the
people of India think of God as the ab-
solutely. perfect Infinite and_ therefore
they believe Him to be beyond, every-
thing finite and imperfect. No words can
explain his nature. He is, according to
the Ind¥an, the All Holy. Whatever the
mind attains to, God is not there, because
if the*® mind attains to it—it becomes
finite. No Babel building will ever take
us to Him. There are no finite ladders
to the Infinite.
“Seekers Return Empty-Handed
This is the sad result of thousands of
years’ search after God in India and all
the East. They go out and come back
with empty hands, saying they have seen
and felt, but cannot say what it is. In
the temple of, Isis a worshipper has writ-
ten these words expressing the impossi-
bility of the revelation of God, “I am
he that is and was and ever shall be,
and my. veil has no_ man lifted.”
The greatest religious genius in India
concluded that all finite desires and ac-
tions are futile, because they must neces-
sarily end in failure. The one consum-
mation of life worth striving for is the
revelation of God. In India one sees
men with finger nails 12 inches long,
who are thus incapacitated for doing
work. Others have held one arm up in
the air for 30 years. Thus- they believe
that by doing nothing, they will avoid
doing wrong.
_ The basis of this great difficulty in
wrong thinking is the idea of the ab-
‘stract infinijge. They believe that the in-
finite begins beyond the finite. The
problem of the ages, theri, is to discover
|the concrete infinite in which we can
{|feel at home. The Infinite is not beyond
the finite, but reveals itself throught the
finite. es

Think of Opportinities—
Not of Difficulties of Job
“You have been hearing a great deal
lately about the opportunities for women
in different fields of work,” said Mrs.
Manning, speaking in Chapel on Wednes-
day morning, April 27. “All of them
have pointed out the difficulties of getting
a job and ‘making good.’ But don’t let
that discourage you. Look at the very
people who have talked to you, most of
them alumnae of the college, and you
will realize that they have all done well .
in the fields they have chosen. Think
of the opportunities, not the difficulties,
of the profeSsion you are interested jn.”
There has been a- movement lately in
favor of much vocational advice for stu-
dents, by the theory that you can test
out people as to what they would be good
at, force them into that path and keep -
them there. By the time girls come to
college, however, most of them really
have more or less chosen; they know
what they are interested in. The re-
sponsibility really rests on the student,
Dae
not on the college. It is in-
vestigate the different kinds of ot -
tion for which we might have a gift.

couraged at the thought of difficulties,

THE REVOLT OF A RIVER
Nature, we are almost startled
to find, has not lost her tremen-
dous energy during reéent years,
in spite of the fact that the age of
mechanics has done all in its pow-
er to check her; the fact has sud-
denly hit home, and the’ United
States is realizing, if only through
_a large.drain on the national
pocketbook, that there are forces
greater, even, than that of a ‘vigor-
ous man. The present flood of the
Mississippi is a most amazing phe-
nomenon, and one that makes the
mere individual ponder a bit upon
his insignificance. Unpleasant as
the realization may seem, it takes
root, and the individual is imme-
diately fascinated by the Gargan-
tuan force which, even now, is
leaving havoc in its path.
The* flood crest, the highest
known in history, is moving down
the river at an approximate rate
of 10 miles a day, and the only
step by which the old city of New
Orleans can possibly be saved has
already been taken; the levees
farther down the river have been
blasted away, and thousands of
square miles of land, as a result,
have been inundated. The, ro-
mance of this latest engineering
feat is truly intriguing, and tales
of daring aviafors, undaunted trap-
pers of the swamps, Negro labor-
ers of the old plantations and Red
Cross workers of miracles are

being reported every day. Coast]
Guard boats and crews are being
transported from the eastern
coast, fast passenger trains are
yielding place to relief outfits, and
the water is pouring through the
man-made break in the old French
levee at Poydras at the rate of
250,000 cubic feet a second. “The
country where Laffite, the Pirate,
once had his strongholds, where
thé ‘Villers and Poydras families
made history with Jackson, and
where 10,000 people, until a few
days ago, made their homes, is
everywhere under water.” The
thrills of romance, it would seem,
are not yet dead, and the Father
of Waters has once more called |
attention to tHe wonders of itself.

. THE PASSING OF A PRIZE-
We can but feel a sense of ad-
miration and gratitude to the class
of ’27 whieh has, in our opinion,
played the “all-wise” by setting
aside with due ceremony and good
- grace, the awarding of a “Sunny

Had the prize retained its origi-
- nal qualifications of intellectuality

it d-doubtless have been less
‘open to criticism. But in the last
three or four years there has been

The greatest man in India today is

Gandhi is his marvelous triumph over

and anger. He not only talks love, but
he loves, intensely and sacrificially, His
strength is his implicit faith in the pow-

make its viewpoint so distinct;
altation .of the Anglo-Saxon schools.
Each of these poets had his Beatrice and,
though each claimed for himself an
early death, it is surprising to note how
**/imany of them were still writing at the
ripe age of 80!
Neo-Symbolists Established
Paul Claudel was the first of the school
of Neo-Symbolists, whose diction is much
like that of their predecessors; he writes
beautifully of the «spiritual life, but ie
does so from a material and _ sensual
He has written very
forcible war poems, among them “Cru-
cifie,” from which M. Fay quoted. The
war which so interested Claudel had a
tremendous influence upon all of French
poetry, as it showed that every founda-
easily be loosened. The modern inven-
tions, rather than helping humanity, had
turned against it; the war came as a
vast explosion, and caused a revolt of the
French intelligence. “The poets withdrew
from the material world, and tried to
find some “raison d'etre.” In 1924 we
find a new dualism, that of the human
soul as opposed to matter, society, and
the extérnal world in general. The ob-
ject of the poets now is‘to treat only the
essential attitudes of man, and how his
spirit may escape from this age of ma-
writings is synthetic, as opposed to the
analysis of old; it is condensed, subjec-
theory is that of the “malentendu ac-
ceptable’—all that has happened to hu-
manity in recent years proves that our
social life does not restrain men, and
that our discussions are merely a series
of misunderstandings. The poet’s lan-
guage should express “exactly what he
himself feels and it should carry just this
impression over to his reader. Of this
most modern of French schools Paul
Valery and’ Max Jacob are the outstand-
ing members.
M. Fay Has Done Research
M. Fay, himself, has led a very inter-
esting life; wounded in the war, he was
decorated by both Belgium and France.
He came to Harvard after the armistice,
in order to do research work for his de-
‘gree of “docteur des lettres,”
now a professor at the University of
Clairmont-Ferrand. His thesis was writ-
ten on the intellectual relations between
France and the United States during the
period of the American Revolution; re-
‘cently he has written several other books
upon the relations between the two .na-
tions; his field’ is comparatively new,
and M. Fay is covering it in a very in-
teresting way.

as it is described; for. the comedies rep-

is needs little adaptation to fit today. ‘The
character of Socrates is his ‘masterpiece,
the greatest “tour de, force® in literature: |.
it combines intellectual pre-eminence with"
the highest spiritual and moral sense.
“The religion of Socrates has had its
place through the ages; +tHe words of
Socrates penetrate the soul or sting it to
shame.” In the midst of a long dig-
lectic debate, Socrates’ words rise sul
, denly to- pul; shaking eloquence; _ then
you are let ‘down once more to the point
of view of a man. of the world, and
Socrates chats and jokes with his friends
on lighter matters.
The Alexandrian and Hellenistic writ-
ers, are realistic in the modern sense;
they picture life for. the first time -in
history in-darge cities. Their epigrams
are full of revelations, of modern frank-
ness.
One Alexandrian writer; Theocratus,
\ upsets the classifications more than Plato
and Aristophanes: He combines ‘ideal-
ized beauty with drastic realism; his
shepherds are not Arcadian, they are
homely and .restricted to everydayness;
but perfect idealism is expressed in his
rhapsodies ‘over nature and the beauty
