vented this suggestion from being put into

We have always had a hankering to
grow a beard ourself. It would bo wedge
rhaped, like thnre of the Assyrian kings, it
would bo crinkly and of a resounding honey
color. It lsi vain to say that a good chin
needs no beard. The world must be made
safe for beards.

dnltiied fiom the truth about his life He
was .I lambling, wai in-hearted garrulous
fellow, inlliiltely liileiested in liutnin 1 1 f " .
a passionate lnv ir of America (never having
betn anywheie else): a close , accuiate eeh
r.erver of nature It was not" in him to
concentrate on one poem long enough to
cH.ilill Ins murlngs into erystallino beauty
and rnmpaetncss any more than It was in
h!m to linger long at one Job ot in me
place. He had in high dcgiee the com
monest and least divine gift, th it of un
ending elabniation He gossiped all mound
bis thcnip, thinking that If he made his
catalogues nf places unci tiades long
enough he wuuld esprcss all Ameiica. "I
claie not shnl' an part of invself," ho
cried. If ho only had!
Ills gieatcst poems, of course, lllto till
gieat poems, wete tboie in which ho io
slsted his temptation to monologue: com
pressed and focused his thought, sharpened
its edfo and let his native music ipeak it
self in fimplo bievity.
(ffluttnnous of tho glory and fascination
of life, he tiled to tell it all. Hut poetry
comes only In thin, thin bliccs.
He describes one of hH poems as "a ruds,
brief recitative." He was frequently rude,
but lately brief. What ho humorously
called Ills leaves of grass were more often
haystacks.
It is bocauso we lovo and atfmlro Walt
Whitman so whole-heartedly for what was
rich and fine in his broad-chested humanity
I that we take pains on a watnwlay a whole
year ahead to commemorate his centennial.
. . .
What is not sufficiently recognUvl is that
he was a monstrous fine purveyor of prose.

Every lov'cr of Whitman knows his pas
sion for ferries. He used to cross and re
cross tho Dclavvaie from Philadelphia tn
Camden, sometimes for several hours to
gether. And our own suggestion for the
centennial is that the Pennsylvania Itall
load, the ne.t time It builds a new Dela
ware ferryboat, should christen it tho Walt
Whitman, C. D. SI.
