Blam yourself for not ordering her copy of Lire. in advance from the n aaa ish) sis James Whitcomb Riley Me poetry is produced of which the chief end seems to be that brows shall be creased in speculation whether or not it is good poetry. A very small proportion of Jim Riley’s poems ever produced this effect except in their author. He wrinkled his brow duly in making them as good as he could, but other people have taken them easy, not bothering very critically about their merits as poetry, but liking them as one likes the notes of birds, because they gave pleasure. All the same, it has been conceded these many years that they have merits as poetry. In the high flights Riley was not as good as Wordsworth, but in the low flights he beat him. He could not have fashioned the “Ode to Duty” nor the “ Daffodils,” but “ Little Orphant Annie” navigates with great success at a level in which Words- worth was apt to flop. Riley wrote pleasant poems out of a very kindly, pleasant mind. He wrote them in the first place, much as Shake- speare wrote his plays, not to be read, but to please the ears of ausiences. That he was the most popular Amer- ican poet since Longfellow is not dis- creditable to American taste, though it argues a large popular appetite for simple things. He knew the common, familiar properties of ordinary Amer- ican childhood, and was able to bring back into thousands of minds the homely memories that were growing faint. And there was music in him, and more art, perhaps, than is realized, and always a kindly, affectionate soul that had good will to all men and the con- sideration and natural refinement that belong to that disposition.
