The Literary Zoo (Continued from page 70) that so often fall upon the path of genius. I1 is befitting, it is even incumbent upon, Mr. Watson, that he once more surpass himself in song. W.T.L. Afflictions It was Goethe who said he never had an affliction that he did not turn into a poem. “How sublime!” exclaim the mem- bers of the Culture Club, in a low, yet well-bred chorus. Perhaps; but on the whole, we should prefer to call it simply “ prac- tical.” Nor did the idea originate with Goethe. To make “copy” out of one’s experience—be it sad or joyful—was the instinct of the first scribbler who scratched for a living. It is the stock in trade of every professional humor- ist. Not along the primrose path, but from the blind alleys of existence, does he emit his most cheerful chortles. It was the kinks of circumstance—more’s the pity—that made the deathless au- thor of “Fair Inez,” a comic ballad monger. And Barrie—Sentimental Jimmy—does he not possess it in its perfection?

Job, you may re- member, made poetry out of his boils— surely the most unpromising of sub- jects. But Job, it will be recalled, had greater afflictions. The drawback seems to be that too many poets—espe- * cially the lady poets—mistake a tight shoe for anguish of the soul. We have no particular objection to the poets tell- ing us their troubles, provided they exercise a nice sense of discrimination in their diagnoses. Otherwise the poem ] itself is an affliction and might fay bet- ter have been told to a policeman. - i WoT LL, Once Srraxcrr: Did you ever reveal your | fishing hole to a friend?
