,it only takes some twenty--thirty--years or so ,to make a man1 with everything complete4 ,longer1 it is true1 than growing cabbages ,or currant bushes1 or a cow1-- ,or a fair-sized hog2 ,but not so very long1 and there's always time4 ,when breeding's good we get them fast enough4444 ,merely a matter of waiting till they grow4444 ,some food and clothes must be supplied-- ,and shelter--and all that-- ,but it's surprising 7in fact1 without statistics1 ,a person would scarcely believe it possible7 ,how very little a man can live upon ,from birth until he reaches the enlisting age4 ,for first he has to be born1 of course1 ,and that takes time1--makes us some trouble too-- ,but it's a simple matter on the whole1 ,and not expensive3 not at all expensive3 ,you see1 the women are the ones that attend to this ,and they work cheap4 ,they pour men from their bodies4 ,always pleased to undertake affairs of this sort1 ,women are1--,o1 most delighted4 ,it's their way4 ,willing and lavish3 it doesn't cost them much4 ,they only have to give some flesh and bone ,and blood2 and perhaps1 one might say1 ,a scrap of soul1 to make the creature go2 ,but these things nature furnishes2 ,they're free and plenty3 ,and after a man's once started1 he's not long growing2 ,there's always a generation on the way3 ,more than we want1 sometimes1 or there is room for4 ,lord1 how they swarm6 ,in the cities like flies4 ,if only horses were so plentiful6 ,if only horses could be foddered so lightly ,and bedded so many to a stall as men6 ,certainly1 men are less of a bother ,and also1 think what men do for you that a horse can't4 ,you cannot teach a horse to hold a gun4 ,a horse can't shoot or burn or pillage or murder well in the least4 ,and too1 a man has this convenient feature1 ,that you can make him go without whip or lash4 ,you only have to charm him the right way4 ,other animals you charm by dazzling radiance3 ,with men it's always colors and bright sounds 7,slogans and bands and banners are the best74 ,why1 you can play upon them with the beat of drums ,till they are got to an energy and fury fine as a bull's ,how they will fight for you then6 ,tigers and wolves and wild-cats 7,considering differences in weight and bulks of meat7 ,wouldn't fight fiercer or longer or more willingly4 ,you never could train a horse to be so clever4 ,and therefore it's curious1 when you think of it1 ,that horses should come so much more dear than men4 ,to be sure1 there isn't the cheap source of supply ,or the same over-stock as in the case of men3 ,a horse is harder to raise and more expense-- ,more trouble2 more of a responsibility3 ,but nevertheless1 allowing for all this1 ,it still is curious1 that difference in value4444 ,now isn't it8 ,rather8 ,art and ,anarchism ,,margaret ,c4 ,,anderson ,when 8they0 ask you what anarchism is1 and you scuffle around for the most convincing definition1 why don't you merely ask instead3 8,what is art80 ,because anarchism and art are in the world for exactly the same kind of reason4 ,an anarchist is a person who realizes the gulf that lies between government and life2 an artist is a person who realizes the gulf that lies between life and love4 ,the former knows that he can never get from the government what he really needs for life2 the latter knows that he can never get from life the love he really dreams of4 ,now there is only one class of people--among the very rich or the very poor or the very middling--that doesn't know about these things4 ,it is the uneducated class4 ,it is composed of housewives1 business men1 church-goers1 family egoists1 club women1 politicians1 detectives1 debutantes1 drummers1 ,christian ,scientists1 policemen1 demagogues1 social climbers1 ministers who recommend plays like ,experience1 etc41 etc4 ,it even includes some who may be educated--journalists1 professors1 philanthropists1 patriots1 8artistic0 people1 sentimentalists1 cowards1 and the insane4 ,it is the great middle-class mind of ,america4 ,it is the kind of mind that either doesn't think at all or that thinks like this3 8,without the violence and the plotting there would be nothing left of anarchism but a dead theory4 ,without the romance of it anarchism would be nothing but a theory which will not work and never can until nature has evolved something very different out of man4 ,it is cops and robbers1 hare and hounds1 ,ivanhoe and ,e4 ,phillips ,oppenheim all acted out in life4 ,it is not really dangerous to society1 but only to some members of it1 because unless every one is against it there is no fun in it40 ,there is no fun talking about anarchism to people who understand it4 ,but it would be great fun to make the middle-class mind understand it4 ,this is the way ,i should go about it3 99 99 99 99 99 ,what things do you need in order to live8 ,food1 clothing1 shelter4 ,what things must you have to get life out of the process of living8 ,love1 work1 recreation4 ,all right4 ,does the government give you the first three things8 ,not at all4 ,it isn't the government or law or anything of that sort that gives you food or clothes4 ,it's the efficient organization between those who produce these things and those who sell them to you4 ,and it isn't government that keeps that organization efficient4 ,it's the brains of those who work in it4 ,you will say that government exists to prevent that organization from charging you too much for food and clothes4 ,then why doesn't government do it8 ,heaven knows you've got all the government you can very well use and you pay too much for everything4 ,does the government give you a house8 ,if you happen to be an ambassador or something like that4 ,not if you happen to be a mail man4 ,maybe some one leaves you a house--which means that he once bought it or stole it or had it left to him4 ,you can do any of these three things yourself4 ,or you can go without1 as nearly every one else does4 ,sometimes the government helps you to steal one--but not you of the middle-class4 ,what ,i want to know is why you are so crazy about the government8 99 99 99 99 99 ,now1 about work4 ,what do you call work8--spending eight hours a day in an office to help make somebody's business a success1 and incidentally to earn the money for your bread and butter8 ,but that's a third of the time you're given on earth4 ,another third has to be spent in sleep1 and the last third in eating your dinner1 8spending the evening10 getting undressed1 getting dressed1 eating your breakfast1 and catching your train4 ,i call that slavery4 ,work is something over which you can toil twenty-four hours a day if you feel like it1 because if you don't your life will have no meaning4 ,it's like art4 ,what has the government to do with your work8 ,about as much as it had to do with ,marconi's brain when he was conceiving his wireless4 ,what do you call recreation8--lounging in hotel lobbies1 gossiping over tea tables1 going to the movies8 ,all right4 ,but what has the government got to do with it8 ,or do you call it walking1 riding1 reading1 lying in the sun8 ,the government doesn't give you good legs or a motor car or books or a stretch of beach to lie on4 ,but it can keep some of the best books away from you and close up the bathing beaches on the hottest ,october day4 ,maybe you call recreation what it really means3 re-creation4 ,that means the time and the leisure to invite your soul4 ,you've got government3 have you got either time or leisure8 ,and as for love4444 ,you love some one who loves you1 and the world is good4 ,or you love some one who doesn't love you and the world is hell4 ,or you love and love and can find no one to love4 ,or you love and cannot give1 or love and cannot take1 or maybe you cannot love at all4 ,and where is the government all this time8 ,the government can bring you a letter from some one you love4 ,but why must even that be done with graft8 ,some one assaults a woman in a dark alley1 you say1 and where would we be without the government8 ,what has that to do with love1 first8 ,now clear up your minds3 have you ever imagined why these things happen8 ,because some people are vicious1 you say4 ,but every one is vicious--every one who has life in him4 ,you are3 only you can take it out on your wife or on whatever prostitutes you can afford1 or in eating large dinners1 or in joy rides1 in vulgar parties1 in the movies1 in luxury1 in fads1 in art1 even in religion4 ,it just depends upon your type4 ,the point is that you have your outlets and the other wretch hasn't4 ,and second1 since these things are always happening and you have plenty of chances to see how the government deals with them1 the only sensible question left for you to ask is3 ,why aren't they dealt with8 ,you've got government and you've got crime on the increase4 ,may it be that you will ever see this3 that the thing needs treat-ment1 not govern-ment8 ,but if you're talking about love4444 ,in love you will act just like a cave man or an ,athenian or an early ,christian or an ,elizabethan or a modern1 like a satyr or a traveling salesman or an artist--it depends upon your type4 ,governments may come and go1 may change or cease to be1 and nothing remains forever except 8your type40 ,but it's just here that your government has its functions4 ,it can do various things4 ,and since the value of your life depends upon the intensity with which you love something or somebody1 you might as well recognize what your government can do for you in this regard3 ,if you think that love and freedom ought to go together the government can put you in prison4 ,if you marry out of respect for the government1 and grow to hate each other1 the government won't give you a divorce out of respect for you4 ,if you marry as a concession to the government1 because you don't want to ruin your business or have your wife insulted1 the government will divorce you--and on the concession basis3 but you pay for both the concessions4 ,if you believe that love is love1 whether it brings you children or not1 you may be happy and prosperous1 but you will not be safe4 ,the government can put your physician in prison4 ,if you're very poor or very ill1 and ought not have children1 the government can keep information for prevention away from you2 and it can put any one who tries to give you that information in prison4 ,if you should die from an abortion--and you surely will die if you contract blood-poisoning2 and you surely will do that if you must be treated in secrecy and without skill--the government can hang your physician4 99 99 99 99 99 ,why are you so crazy about the government8 ,why do you want to govern anything or anybody8--even your own temper8 ,nietzsche said not to preserve yourself but to discharge yourself6 ,why not use your temper as well as your nice moods8 ,why do you want to govern your child8 ,to give him character8 ,but who ever told you that life is for the making of character8 ,even if it were1 you can't give your child character4 ,he can get it by going through a great deal4 ,but if you govern him successfully he won't go through a great deal4 ,he will just be something that is like something else4 ,he won't be himself4 ,why do you want to govern human nature8 ,because you want people to be good instead of bad8 ,but how can you tell when they're good and when they're bad8 ,suppose you all agree that ,jean ,crones did a very bad thing8 ,if you knew ,jean ,crones you should probably all see at once that he is a very good man--if he exists at all4 ,clear up your thinking6 99 99 99 99 99 ,who ever told you that an anarchist wants to change human nature8 ,who ever told you that an anarchist's ideal could never be attained until human nature had improved8 ,human nature will never 8improve40 ,it doesn't matter much whether you have a good nature or a bad one4 ,it's your thinking that counts4 ,clean out your minds6 ,if you believe these things--no1 that is not enough3 if you live them--you are an anarchist4 ,you can be one right now4 ,you needn't wait for a change in human nature1 for the millennium1 or for the permission of your family4 ,just be one6 ,you have seen that 8the blind1 heavy1 stupid thing we call government0 can not give you a happy childhood4 ,it cannot educate you or make you an interesting person4 ,it cannot give you work1 art1 love1 or life--or death if you think it is better to die4 99 99 99 99 99 ,and finally when you see that you can never get all the love you imagined from life2 that you are trapped1 really1 and must find a way out2 when you see that here where there is nothing is the way out1 and that the wonder of life begins here--when you see all this you will be an artist1 and your love that

programme which ,m4 ,stravinsky appended to his piece1 and is an attempt to reproduce the sound and movement of the music as far as is possible in another medium4 ,vibrant ,life ,,sherwood ,,anderson ,he was a man of forty-five1 vigorous and straight of body4 ,about his jaws was a slight heaviness1 but his eyes were quiet4 ,in his young manhood he had been involved in a scandal that had made him a marked man in the community4 ,he had deserted his wife and children and had run away with a serious1 dark-skinned young girl1 the daughter of a ,methodist minister4 ,after a few years he had come back into the community and had opened a law office4 ,the social ostracism set up against him and his wife had in reality turned out to their advantage4 ,he had worked fiercely and the dark-skinned girl had worked fiercely4 ,at forty-five he had risen to wealth and to a commanding position before the bar of his state1 and his wife1 now a surgeon1 had a fast-growing reputation for ability4 ,it was night and he sat in a room with the dead body of his younger brother1 who had gone the road he had traveled in his twenties4 ,the brother1 a huge good-natured fellow1 had been caught and shot in the home of a married woman4 ,in the room with the lawyer sat a woman4 ,she was a nurse1 in charge of the children of his second wife1 a magnificent blonde creature with white teeth4 ,they sat beside a table1 spread with books and magazines4 ,the woman who sat with the lawyer in the room with the dead man1 was1 like himself1 flush with life4 ,he remembered1 with a start1 that she had been introduced into the house by the boy who was dead4 ,he began to couple them in his mind and talked about it4 8,you were in love with him1 eh80 he asked presently4 ,the woman said nothing4 ,she sat under a lamp with her legs crossed4 ,the lamplight fell upon her shapely shoulders4 ,the lawyer1 getting out of his chair1 walked up and down the room4 ,he thought of his wife1 the woman he loved1 asleep upstairs1 and of the price they had paid for their devotion to each other4 8,it is barbarous1 this old custom of sitting up with the dead10 he said1 and1 going to another part of the house1 returned with a bottle of wine and two glasses4 ,with the wine before them the lawyer and the woman sat looking at each other4 ,they stared boldly into each other's eyes1 each concerned with his own thoughts4 ,a clock ticked loudly and the woman moved uneasily4 ,by an open window the wind stirred a white curtain and tossed it back and forth above the coffin1 black and ominous4 ,he began thinking of the years of hard1 unremittent labor and of the pleasures he had missed4 ,before his eyes danced visions of white-clad dinner tables1 with men and bare-shouldered women sitting about4 ,again he walked up and down the room4 ,upon the table lay a magazine1 devoted to farm life1 and upon the cover was a scene in a barn yard4 ,a groom was leading a magnificent stallion out at the door of a red barn4 ,pointing his finger at the picture1 the lawyer began to talk4 ,a new quality came into his voice4 ,his hand played nervously up and down the table4 ,there was a gentle swishing sound of the blown curtain across the top of the coffin4 8,i saw one once when ,i was a boy10 he said1 pointing with his finger at the stallion4 ,he approached and stood over her4 8,it was a wonderful sight10 he said1 looking down at her4 8,i have never forgotten it4 ,the great animal was all life1 vibrant1 magnificent life4 ,its feet scarcely touched the ground40 8,we are like that10 he added1 leaning over her4 8,the men of our family have that vibrant1 conquering life in us40 ,the woman arose from the chair and moved toward the darkened corner where the coffin stood4 ,he followed slowly4 ,when they had gone thus across the room she put up her hand and plead with him4 8,no1 no6--,think6 ,remember60 she whispered4 ,with a low laugh he sprang at her4 ,she dodged quickly4 ,both of them had become silent4 ,among the chairs and tables they went1 swiftly1 silently1 the pursuer and the pursued4 ,into a corner of the room she got1 where she could no longer elude him4 ,near her sat the long coffin1 its ends resting on black stands made for the purpose4 ,they struggled1 and then as they stood breathless with hot startled faces1 there was a crash1 the sound of broken glass and the dead body of his brother with its staring eyes rolled1 from the fallen coffin1 out upon the floor4 ,don'ts for ,critics#b 7,apropos of recent criticisms of ,imagism1 vers libre1 and modern poetry generally47 ,,alice ,,corbin ,,henderson ,don't confuse vers libre and ,imagism4 ,the two are not identical4 ,one pertains to verse1 the other to vision4 ,don't attempt to 8place0 ,imagism until you know what it is4 ,don't substitute irritability for judgement4 ,don't attempt to establish absolutes--positive or negative--by precedents of a half or a quarter of a century1 or a mere decade ago4 ,don't be a demagogue4 ,don't try to speak the last word--you can't4 ,don't be dishonest with yourself4 ,analyze your own inhibitions4 ,don't believe that beauty is conventionality1 or that the classic poets chose only 8nice0 subjects4 ,don't forget that the age that produced the cathedrals produced also the grotesques4 ,don't be afraid to expand4 ,don't deny the poet his folly1 or expect him to appear always pompously on stilts4 ,think of the poets who have fun in their make-up1 and you think of some of the greatest--,shakespeare1 ,chaucer1 ,villon1--7by no means excepting ,lewis ,carroll1 whose ,jabberwock is almost 8pure0 poetry and the poetic prototype of much excellent modern painting47 ,don't relax your own appreciation of humor to the soft1 easy level of the newspapers4 ,don't squirm when a poet is a satirist4 ,we need the keen vision4 ,not all pessimism is unhealthy1 and not all optimism healthy4 ,don't think that ,spoon ,river is more sordid than ,athens1 ,greece1 or ,athens1 ,georgia1 than ,sparta or ,troy1 or--the ,lake ,shore ,drive4 ,don't think that the poet must always copy something or somebody1 and that something usually of a recent date4 ,correspondences1 to be valuable1 must be genuine and of the spirit1 rather than of the letter4--,when ,mr4 ,powys brackets the names of ,chaucer and ,edgar ,lee ,masters1 he is illuminating4 ,when ,mr4 ,hervey or ,mr4 ,willard-,huntington-,wright discover each a different one of ,mr4 ,masters' copybooks1 and publish their discoveries1 the absurdity is manifest4 ,picture ,mr4 ,masters sitting with ,robinson's book in one hand1 and somebody's ,small ,town in the other1 inditing ,spoon ,river with his teeth6 ,don't expect a poet to repeat himself indefinitely1 however much you may admire his earlier work4 ,you may appreciate his later work in time4 ,don't condemn the work of a man whose books you have not read4 ,unfortunately there are no civil service examinations for critics4 ,don't think that competition is unhealthy for the poet1 or that his poetry suffers thereby4 ,don't be confident1 as ,mr4 ,arthur ,j4 ,eddy said at the 8,poetry0 dinner1 that no good thing is ever lost4 ,ask ,mr4 ,eddy1 who is a lawyer1 to prove that no good thing is ever lost4 ,don't expect poets to refrain from writing about one another--even in praise4 ,if you don't enjoy the feast1 don't eat it4 ,when the poets tear one another to pieces1 don't you enjoy it8 ,but if1 like most critics of poetry1 you are a poet also1 take warning4 ,be prepared6 ,don't wait until a poet is dead before you discover him4 ,don't gnash your teeth and expect the public to take it as a sign of force and insight4 ,don't forget that prosody is derived from poetry1 not poetry from prosody4 ,don't waste your time trying to squeeze exceptions into the rule4 ,remember that exceptions in poetry1 as in music1 are the variations that give life4 ,don't measure ,english poetry by ,english poetic standards alone4 ,consider the sources of ,english poetry1 and don't begin with ,chaucer1 or stop with ,tennyson4 ,don't think that ,english or ,american poetry may not assimilate as much new beauty and richness from foreign sources in the future as it has in the past4 ,don't consider rhyme as the be-all and end-all of poetry4 ,rhyme is sometimes as beautiful as the reflection of trees in water2 it is sometimes as monotonous as a stitch in time4 ,don't substitute vituperation for the 8critique raisonn0--almost an unknown quantity in this country4 ,don't look first at the publisher's imprint4 ,don't cling to convictions that you fear to have upset4 ,don't1 because you fail to share the convictions of a fellow critic1 think that he is a bigger fool than you are--unless you can prove it4 ,don't imagine that printing a poem as prose makes it prose4 ,a musical masterpiece may be distorted by unrhythmic playing1 yet the composer's rhythm remains intact in the score4 ,don't object to conceptions in poetry that you might find striking and powerful in bronze or plaster4 8,the ,hog ,butcher of the ,world0 is one picturesque attitude of ,chicago4444 ,is the truth unbearable8 ,one may still love ,chicago in spite of its dirty face4 ,don't try to establish even a distant kinship between poetry and ethics4 ,the relation is illicit4 ,don't tell the poet what he must1 or must not1 write about--he doesn't hear you4 ,don't be tedious4 ,don't take ten times as much space as the poet to prove that he is a bad poet4 ,your sin against the public is more grievous1 and your art less1 than his4 ,don't make up your review from the publisher's advance notice4 ,the poet might like to know what you think about his work--not what he told the publisher to tell you4 ,don't expect a poet to punch a time-clock1 or record only the emotions of his fellow townspeople4 ,don't limit a poet to primary emotions1 or find decadence in a refinement that may exceed your own4 ,don't fancy that brutality is strength1 or delicacy weakness4 ,don't fancy that the poem that gives up its meaning quickest gives most1 or lives longest4 ,don't make the mistake of believing that vers libre is easier to write than rhymed metrical verse--or the reverse4 ,don't think because you say a thing1 it is so4 ,your venture is as uncertain as the poet's4 ,authority1 unless bestowed by the ,mayor1 is the gift of time2 and then not unassailable4 ,don't

is what ,jeanne d',arc did4444 ,it is what ,bill ,haywood does2 but it is not what most labor leaders do1 or what most radicals do4 ,it is not what the laborers themselves do4 ,how horrible it is to

the miracle of such poetry as ,h4 ,d's ,oread so that even those who don't 8get0 these things ought to have understood4 ,and still--what is the use8 ,i am convinced that the secret and the beauty of the ,imagists lies somehow in the look of the words1 and that if you have only a feeling for the sounds of words you will never love ,imagism4 ,witter ,bynner1 who was also there1 made an amusing little speech about how the ,imagists substitute color for sound1 sensation for emotion1 and concentrate upon technique instead of upon that for which technique is intended4 ,and then ,alice ,corbin ,henderson had the last word4 8,after all the discussion about ,imagism ,i am surprised to find that no one really seems to know what it is6444 ,when ,mrs4 ,aldis told me the title of her paper ,i said that what ,i should like would be a dispassionate inquiry4 ,she said she didn't think that possible--apparently it isn't2 but as ,i was thinking over the many heated criticisms of ,imagism and modern poetry that have appeared lately1 ,i began to make a list of ,don'ts for the critics40 7,they are printed on another page74 8,of course1 if the critics can't find out what ,imagism is there

death of his wife4 ,think of a society that dares to meddle in people's lives to the extent of making them face death rather than face a scandal4 ,think of a doctor 7the cad by the name of ,goldstine1 ,i believe7 who notifies the police as the proper agents to deal with such a tragedy4 ,think of a public which makes it a crime for these operations to be performed intelligently and without danger of blood poisoning4 ,think of physicians who will not fight for their right to do this4 ,and think of splendid ,dr4 ,haiselden6 ,margaret ,sanger has been 8forgiven0 by the government1 but the statutes

who spent a month in prison4 ,surely he was entitled to a dismissal on the same grounds--more entitled to it1 even in the eyes of the law3 he had never circulated the pamphlets or in any way agitated for birth control4 ,he is an artist1 not a propagandist4 ,but he served his sentence1 and nothing was done or is being done about it4 ,mrs4 ,sanger means to go on with her work4 ,what does the

release of the ,arch ,anarchist4 ,but ,emma ,goldman will fight her case alone1 and on its merits4 ,if she does not succeed in effecting a revision of the penal code regarding the whole matter of

church answer my charges toward the world and ,i shall stand for the charges made against me4 ,,motor ,,busses ,,on ,,chicago ,,boulevards4 ,there is really a definite plan on foot for this miracle4 ,a ,motor ,bus ,company has been formed1 and the necessary certificates from the ,state ,public ,utilities ,commission secured4 ,its plan is to operate from the south end of ,jackson ,park to the north end of the city limits4 ,people who haven't limousines1 who can't afford taxis1 and who can't possibly walk the whole distance of the parks1 will be able to drive through the beautiful parts of the city--the only beautiful parts1 it is necessary to add4 ,for ten cents they can have an astounding romance4 ,they can sit on top of an omnibus1 under the sun or the stars1 and watch ,lake ,michigan stretching out to the other side of the world4 ,that is1 they can do this if the ,park ,commissioners decide to allow them4 ,some of these commissioners raise the objection that motor busses will add seriously to the traffic congestion4 ,that is true1 but how is the thing managed in ,new ,york8 ,fifth ,avenue is narrower than ,michigan1 and it is always more crowded4 ,other commissioners object to the wear and tear on the boulevards which have not been constructed for such heavy traffic4 ,but the ,chicago ,motor ,bus ,company 8has agreed to pay the ,lincoln ,park ,commissioners #a1cjj a year for each mile of their route and the ,south ,park ,commissioners #a1jjj a year per mile40 ,the thing that really halts the plan at present is the attitude of a couple of private citizens who complain to the ,south ,park ,board that motor busses will destroy the beauty of the boulevards6 ,you know the type of mind whose thinking runs in such channels8 ,the type that doesn't give a hang who pays the taxes which maintain the boulevards2 the type that is fond of talking about democracy and what great things we do for the foreigner in ,america4 ,of the men who rhyme1 so large a number are cursed with suburban comforts4 ,a villa and books never made a poet2 they do but tend to the building up of the respectable virtues2 and for the respectable virtues poetry has but the slightest use4 ,to roam in the sun and air with vagabonds1 to haunt the strange corners of cities1 to know all the useless and improper1 and amusing people who are alone very much worth knowing2 to live1 as well as to observe life2 or1 to be shut up in hospital1 drawn out of the rapid current of life into a sordid and exasperating inaction2 to wait1 for a time1 in the ante-room of death2 it is such things as

kept dancing before my eyes4 ,misfit clothing4 ,in vain all my attempts to concentrate on the object of my visit to the ,art ,institute4 ,i sat down to search my brain for the cause of this phenomenon1 and ,i soon recalled another such visit ,i once made under similar difficulties4 ,it was at the ,san ,francisco ,exposition4 ,i discovered by chance the so-called ,annex of the ,fine ,arts ,building1 a stable-like structure in comparison to the main building4 ,it housed the ,norwegian1 ,hungarian1 and ,spanish exhibits--by the way1 almost the only ones worth seeing4 ,at that time another vision kept me from seeing the exhibit for some moments4 ,it seemed as if some short bald men danced along green velvet walls1 each one plucking his heart beats with gusto and1 after arranging them in a queer design on a crystal glass plate1 offering them to the stars and children4 ,this recollection cleared the air and ,i realized that surroundings have a strong effect on me4 ,i have come to enjoy the result of the finest faculty we possess1 our imagination4 ,i have come to admire the result of a year's work of our ,chicago ,artists4 ,three hundred and twenty-one paintings1 says my catalog2 and in order to simplify matters ,i decide to look at some of the most popular names first--names usually found on the juries4 ,artists1 according to ,rodin1 are different from other mortals because they love their work4 ,let us see3 ,adam ,emory ,albright1 ,alfred ,juergens1 ,lucie ,hartrath1 ,john ,f4 ,stacey1 and ,dahlgreen4 ,each one of them has between three and seven paintings4 ,with all that canvas they must have sailed on the most enchanting seas1 and surely have brought back a holiday for our eyes and hearts4 ,the first one ,i encounter is ,an ,october ,afternoon by ,mr4 ,alfred ,juergens2 visions of little coral trees with hanging heads against a faint green dream sky1 embroidered brown leaves in the foreground and cool blue hills like thoughtless sighs in the background1 appear on the catalog page4 ,but see what ,mr4 ,juergens has done with this subject4 ,i can scarcely believe my eyes4 ,a mushroom dog in front of some formless and lifeless trees2 amateur composition1 thoughtless technique1 and dirty color4 ,and ,mr4 ,juergens has a steady job on the jury4 ,i wonder what is his reason for painting3 he certainly does not love his work4 ,something suddenly interferes with my thoughts on this subject3 it is the jingling of coin in a visitor's pocket4 ,i look around and find number #agd by the same gentleman1 and it reminds me of a cat walking on the keyboard of a stringless piano4 ,they say this is the best exhibition of the ,chicago ,artists4 ,if it is1 ,mr4 ,juergens has done nothing to make it good4 ,he has six such things on the walls4 ,mr4 ,albright1 a painter of children playing in the open1 has seven pictures in the exhibit1 five of them on one wall4 ,one is called ,the ,barn ,yard4 ,the name reminds me of the reproduction of a painting by ,malchevski ,i saw in a ,polish library a few days ago4 ,it was called ,art in the ,back ,yard and showed a little satyr playing a flute for a little girl and a few turkeys4 ,there was romance in the fence boards1 and marvelously clean colors2 it shouted life and joy4 ,mr4 ,albright's old-maid's conception of childhood made me feel sad4 ,his shapeless hens1 his flattened children on the wall1 weak composition1 dirty colors1 and no sign of life in the whole thing1 or feeling of out-of-door air4 ,almost disgusted1 ,i look further3--,a ,summer ,dream4 ,i look for the dream and find it in the fact that the biggest of the boys has borrowed his older brother's head1 and the painting is full of some dirty yellow color4 ,a horrible dream4 ,i wish ,mr4 ,albright as well as ,mr4 ,juergens would at least clean their pallets if they can not change their conception of things4 ,next ,i visit ,sunshine ,alley1 by ,lucie ,hartrath4 ,it is the alley of poverty of ideas and bad color4 ,miss ,hartrath evidently wants to paint what she sees1 but she does not happen to see anything startling4 ,she1 too1 has six such things on the walls4 ,the mediocre work of ,john ,f4 ,stacey and ,anna ,l4 ,stacey really deserves no attention4 ,especially bad is the portrait of ,john by ,anna 7there is little love expressed in it7 and ,the ,beach ,road1 ,belvedere1 ,california1 by ,john1 takes the prize for being the poorest painting in the exhibition4 ,john ,f4 has only one painting that looks as if it were made by a man who loves his work--,the ,golden ,hills of ,california4 ,next comes a man ,i dislike to place among the lollipop venders--he being a very nice quiet and honest man2 but why does ,mr4 ,dahlgreen paint8 ,now1 when ,i come to ,messrs4 ,griffith and ,irvine1 ,i find their anaemic work quite good in comparison to the work ,i have seen until now4 ,of course1 ,i did not expect paintings with as wide a scope as the work of the ,zubiaure ,brothers1 ,zuologa1 ,edward ,munch1 ,hodler1 ,welti1 ,malchevski1 ,franz1 ,stuck1 ,fritz ,erler1 ,putz1 ,elie ,reppin1 etc41 to say nothing of the latest developments of modern art and ideals--,i mean the disciples of ,cezane1 ,matisse1 ,van ,gogh1 ,gauguin1 etc4--because ,chicago is still a frontier town4 ,all the latest improvements plus the ,art ,institute cannot change its real character3 a frontier town with frontier town ideals4 ,in this case1 all criticism being comparative1 ,i did not look for the highest standard4 ,had ,i done so1 three words might have been my comprehensive criticism4 ,as it is1 all ,i expected was clear feeling1 clean color1 good design1 and a certain amount of delicacy in handling4 ,this has been fulfilled only in a measure by ,mr4 ,bartlett1 whose strength and individuality places him at the head of the landscape painters exhibiting4 ,he reminds me very much of ,trubner1 especially his ,autumn ,afternoon4 ,i also like his daring composition in ,under ,chinese ,tower1 ,munich4 ,pauline ,palmer's work is full of broadly-painted sunshine1 though the foliage in some of her trees seems too heavy and shapeless4 ,next in merit ,i think comes ,marie ,lokke1 whose yellow sail in ,the ,old ,pier takes the wind out of many a neighbor4 ,hermann ,more's ,a ,summer ,afternoon1 is a good example of clear feeling and clean color4 ,i also like ,mr4 ,kraft's delicate ,silver ,mist and ,an ,autumn ,afternoon1 and ,mr4 ,ingerles's1 ,the ,fascinating ,ozarks4 ,there is also a class of painters who can best be described as able and honest4 ,at the head of these artists stands

followed the poetry published in ,,the ,,little ,,review with keen appreciation and a growing admiration for the poetic form known as vers libre40 ,the conditions are as follows3 ,contributions must be received by ,april #aeth4 ,they must not be longer than twenty-five lines4 ,they must be sent anonymously with stamps for return4 ,the name and address of the author must be fixed to the manuscript in a sealed envelope4 ,it should be borne in mind that free verse is wanted--verse having beauty of rhythm1 not merely prose separated into lines4 ,there will be three judges1 the appointing of whom has been left to the editor of ,,the ,,little ,,review4 7,their names will be given in the next issue1 as we are hurrying this announcement to press without having had time to consult anyone47 ,there will be two prizes of #be each4 ,they are offered not as a first and second prize1 but for 8the two best short poems in free verse form40 ,as there will probably be a large number of poems to read1 we suggest that contributors adhere closely to the conditions of the contest4 ,a4 ,neil ,lyons 7,john ,lane ,company1 ,new ,york7 ,a roomy garret with a wee dirty window in the sloping roof4 ,some trunks with old fine clothes and older musty books--books of hymns and sermons1 most of them were4 ,broken limp chairs4 ,a fire that would not 8draw40 ,bits of worn carpets on the floor4 ,a smelly oil lamp on one of the trunks4 ,such was the place of my solitary confinement1 for rebellion1 at least once a week4 ,i admit to having even deliberately whistled and danced a highland fling on dreary ,sundays in order to provoke my ,god-fearing1 ,sabbath-respecting elders to send me to the garret6 ,how could they1 unsuspecting1 unimaginative ,olympians1 know that it was one of the places where ,i had real joy8 ,in the smallest trunk there were back numbers of ,punch4 ,pencils and paper were there also4 ,when the steps sounded no more on the stairs1 and ,i had stopped my stage crying1 ,i would take out my drawing materials and an issue of ,punch and start to copy the easiest drawings ,i could find4 ,among the artists there was none that ,i liked better than ,phil ,may4 ,his sense of the comic and his economy of line appealed to me and my lack of ability to draw4 ,his ,cockney folk gave me more pleasure than any of the staid humans ,i knew4 ,he4444 ,but ,i forget myself4 ,i started out to write of ,neil ,lyons4444 ,all the words ,i have spun for the prelude are merely to say that during my re-reading of the work of ,neil ,lyons in the past few months ,i have been struck again and again by its likeness to the drawings of ,phil ,may3 the same joy1 the same delight was there in the reading as there was in the contemplation of the drawings4 ,now1 this likeness not only existed in the handling of the subject1 but also in the choice thereof4 ,the ,cockney men1 women and children that ,phil ,may has drawn ,neil ,lyons has written about4 ,the pictures of the peasantry that ,may has left are alike in line and spirit to those ,lyons has drawn verbally in ,cottage ,pie and ,moby ,lane4 ,if you know ,phil ,may's work think of one of his drawings of a fat middle-aged woman1 and then listen to this drawing of another1 by ,neil ,lyons3 8,she was forty years old at a venture4 ,she had lots of mouth and a salmon-coloured face and a pretence of a nose and small watery eyes4 ,all these amenities were built up on a triple foundation of chin1 which was matched by an exceeding amplitude of bosom and waist40 ,don't you recognize the same swift1 sure lines8 ,but ,i must get away from this parallel4 ,never at his best is the artist as great as the writer4 ,there is no line or collection of lines in ,may's work to match this in ,lyons'3 8,mrs4 ,godge1 who was lately the mother of twin babies1 is now the mother of memories40 ,that sentence is only a shadow of the quiet poignancy of the tale that follows it4 ,oh1 the wonder of the man who can see every side of the common people and set them down with such verve1 such relish1 such keen poignancy and hilarious joy6 ,let me quote from the story of blind ,unity ,pike1 8the wanton03 8,i imagine poor old ,unity at this period of her life as having been a little1 fresh1 dark-haired maiden of ,quaker habit4 ,i know she must have been beautiful because ,,all young things are beautiful4 ,i imagine this poor bound soul in the dark with its toil and its thoughts--half-formed thoughts1 half-formed memories1 half-formed wishes4 ,nothing real about her or within her save the darkness4 ,and ,i can imagine how it was1 therefore1 that---- 8,yes6 ,they found ,jack ,munsey in her cottage4 ,they found him in the night4 ,and so1 in the name of ,christ1 whose name they give to all their wickedness--that ,christ1 who forgave a woman that was not blind for sins beside which this sin of ,unity's was pure and white--in the name of this ,god1 ,i say1 they seized her sightless1 wondering soul and threw it1 a sacrifice1 to those bloody wolves they call their virtue40 ,i would fain go on quoting1 showing you the wit of this man1 gentle1 and on occasion barbed and stinging3 his humor1 kindly1 of the soil2 his great jollity and high good spirits4 ,i would indeed like to introduce you to 8,clara10 the hussy1 who is fat and motherly and with a heart and mind unbounded4 ,i would like to take you to 8,arthur's10 the midnight coffee-stall where you would meet with street-walkers and soldiers1 scavengers and tramps and hear from the lips of a gutter snipe one of the most perfect and touching love tales ever told4 ,oh1 but

,john ,lane1 he of the ,bodley ,head ,publishing ,company1 who gave the world ,the ,yellow ,book1 the works of ,anatole ,france and ,stephen ,leacock1 is the publisher4 ,i wait expectantly your showers of gratitude6 --,allan ,ross ,macdougall4 ,the ,reader ,critic ,,anarchy ,alice ,groff1 ,philadelphia3 ,anarchy is scientifically a reductio ad absurdum and those who claim to be anarchists are self-deceivers1--minds that cannot complete a circuit of reason4 ,there is no place in reason for anarchy1 hence there is not and cannot be an anarchist on a basis of reason4 ,all who call themselves so are either archists of the most rabid sort or helpless flies in the sticky syrup of laissez faire4 ,the only professed anarchists that make any impression upon the world are of three kinds3 either they are spirits of revolt of the most bitterly1 materialistically tyrannical sort2 or they are those who suffer with the oppressed and strive individually to set them free1 even to the point of self-martyrdom2 or they are sentimentalists who maunder maudlinly on about love and justice and yet do absolutely nothing to bring about the love of justice or the justice of love1 either in their preaching or their practice4 ,but none of these are really anarchists1 they are only varieties of archists who wish to impose their own social ideals upon the social order in place of those that already prevail4 ,the whole story of social evolution in a nutshell is as follows3 every phase of the social order at any stage of social evolution is maintained by a social ego or group sufficiently powerful to dominate the rest of the surrounding social body1--and this phase can be changed only by revolution--bloodless or otherwise1--on the part of a new social ego desiring this change and developing power to establish and maintain it4 ,now the only way in which such a social ego can develop such power is by obtaining control of the means of living1--food1 clothing1 shelter1 and the natural and financial resources back of these means2 and this control can be obtained only by archists1--dominationists1--organized into a social ego or group that is a unit on any special social ideal4 ,rebellions come and rebellions go1 but the only rebellion that ever reaches successful revolution is made by a social ego powerful enough to get control of the necessities of life by force1--force material1 intellectual1 or psychic4 ,this disposes forever of the professed repudiation of force by the philosophical anarchists1 so-called4 ,as for the poetic anarchists1 who draw moving pictures of the beautiful time to come1 when humanity will voluntarily organize to abolish all man-made law 7which they consider the only social evil1 not realizing that the evil is not in law1 per se1 but in the kind of law71 and who look to 8,mother ,nature0 for social guidance1--these will wait and look till the crack of doom1 in vain4 ,for 8,mother ,nature0 is an old-wife of incredible stupidity1 socially considered1 and must needs be pulled up by the hair of her head at every whip-stitch1 by her ever-evolving offspring1 in order that they may transform her social stupidity into scientific truth4 ,social evolution depends entirely upon the discovery of such scientific truth and its application to the social order1 and such application can be made only step by step through a social ego powerful enough to compel such application4 ,from this it may be seen that by whatever name we may call ourselves1--monarchists1 democrats1 anarchists1--we are really archists striving to impose our ideals as social egos upon the social order1 and succeeding--only when we can get control of the means of living--in dominating the rest of the social body with them1--until a new social ego gets the power to cry 8,the king is dead6 ,long live the king60 ,it1 of course1 goes without saying that no social dominance has ever been entirely wise or beneficent1 and that until very recently in social history there has been no knowledge of sociological scientific truth to speak of upon which to base social domination4 ,but the hope of the world lies in the ever-progressing discovery of such truth1 and in its application to the social order by ever-evolving social egos that will more and more base their social ideals upon such truth1 gradually dominating the whole social order with ideals so based4 ,anonymous3 ,after having read your 8,a ,deeper ,music0 in the ,february issue ,i wondered whether you had ever heard ,mr4 de ,pachmann play the piano4 ,there is nothing in the world like it--nothing more wonderful4 ,i am not speaking of an ebony ,mason and ,hamlin alone on a stage1 but of any piano at all1 with that madman bending his head over the keys of it4 ,i feel sure that had you heard him you would have included him in your article and would not have put words into ,bauer's mouth4 ,you would have known that it is possible to play the piano very badly and play it more beautifully than any one else2 both of these in one afternoon4 ,the design of sound6 ,but he1 too1 is becoming pass like ,paderewski4 ,but there is little likelihood of a type arising from these two4 ,do you know of any one who plays the piano as ,casals plays the 'cello8 ,have you looked at any of ,scriabine's later piano pieces8 ,i wonder if he expresses any of the moods which you prophesy will be caught by some new composer4 ,i knew a boy in ,petrograd who went to the conservatory every day with a volume of ,scriabine and one of ,bach under his arm4 ,we called him the 8,scriabine chap40 ,he probably has had thirty-second quavers punched into him by a ,german machine gun1 for ,i am sure he couldn't or didn't dare be as loyal to both ,nicholas and ,wilhelm as he was to ,scriabine and ,johann ,s4 ,b4 ,yes1 ,i have heard ,pachmann many times1 and he was always wonderful4 ,i meant1 of course1 to put him in the article1 but at the last minute he slipped my mind 444 perhaps because ,i was trying to write of a 8deeper0 music1 and since ,pachmann is 8master of the small essential thing and master of absolutely nothing else0 he doesn't quite come into the realm of the new vision of the piano4 ,isn't there a good deal of similarity between ,casals' playing of the 'cello and ,bauer's playing of the piano8 ,scriabine's later piano things have something of what ,i meant1 and do you remember the piano parts of 8,prometheus80 ,stravinsky1 too--you know how he uses the piano in 8,ptrouchka40 ,but the new vision is beyond these--something more rich and shattering4444 ,i can't say it4 ,let's just wait and see4--,the ,editor4 ,alice ,groff1 ,philadelphia3 8,spirit can do0 absolutely nothing1 without body4 ,social spirit can do absolutely nothing without the means of life for the body4 ,the social ego that would 8start the revolution0 must aim first to get control of the means of living--food1 clothing1 shelter1 and the resources1 natural and economic1 back of these4 ,revolutions succeed only when they get such control2 if they do not get it they are soap bubbles blown by a little child4 ,why waste time pelting with idle words the social egos that have such control1 instead of going to work to wrench it from them1 even with war8 ,the social ego that has such control 8can do anything40 ,it can stop war with a turn of its hand and establish in its stead world-wide service1 kindness1 brotherhood1 peace1 joy and beauty4 ,and there is nothing else in the universe that can do this4 ,it is for lack of a social ego having such control and that unity in establishing the above-mentioned principles in the social order1 alone1 that 8men continue to support institutions they no longer believe in1 that women continue to live with men they no longer love1 that youth continues to submit to age it no longer respects10 and it is the only agency that can help one to be free when one wants to be free or make one a personality instead of a nonentity4 ,all that you say about a 8deeper music0 is true1 though ,i would say a more winged music--7,i would not dare use to you the word spiritual7--or a subtler music1 or something of that sort2 but all that you deprecate in music1 by critical suggestion1 is also true and necessary1 scientifically and fundamentally1 without which your deeper or higher or subtler or more winged or more spiritual music would be nothing but soap bubbles without plenty of soapy water to make them out of4 ,i am one of those who can appreciate this deeper music--but ,i know also that it cannot be created ex-nihilo4 ,as to ,ben ,hecht1 his power of expression is wonderful4 ,his writing is literature par excellence1 but it lacks a soul4 ,if in his meticulous analyses of life he could suggest the vision of the swallowing up of the macrocosm in the macrocosm--could suggest what humanity as a whole could do to wipe out the evils that feed upon the individual--he might be god-like4 ,but like all of the rest of you he is a dead fly in the sickening syrup of laissez faire1 at the mercy of ,mother ,nature4 ,now it isn't worth while for you to resent this4 ,go to work and read what ,i have been able to get out of ,the ,egoist1

sun on sword blades---- ,do you remember ,maupassant's story3 ,an exhausted ,french regiment--ten miles to go--the men mutinous1 disgruntled2 a broken-down carriage by the road-side--horses and driver gone--a mother and her daughter forlorn in the carriage1 needing assistance to the next town4 ,the snow is deep1 their slippers are thin and they are fashionably--and uselessly--garbed4 ,the soldiers make a sedan chair of the carriage poles1 and fighting among themselves for the honor of bearing a hand at the poles they finish the march with spirit and bravado----8 ,do you remember ,whitman's 8lithe1 fierce girls80 ,such are the flame-tongues of ,revolution--the priestesses of social passion4 ,if ,woman only knew her power to work white magic with banality and stir up the hero-poet in man6 ,but we who have dragged her by the hair for ten thousand years must continue to drag her enfeebled body and spirit with us for penalty--even as we are praying her to touch us to ,fire6 ,when you say that all we need at this hour is a few great spiritual leaders--you are tremendously right4 ,and shall not one of those be some 8lithe fierce girl0 who knows how to wake the militant social troubadour
