IVEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY I 1933 ` GREAT WRITER PASSES The deatll yesterday of Mr. John Galsworthy, recent Nobel Prize winner, removes one of the most outstanding literary figures of this century. A sketch of his career is given elsewhere in this issue; but to appreciate his work apart from the theatre one must read some ol' all of the novels com- _ prised in the omnibus volumes en- _titled "Tho Forsytc Saga" and “A Modern Comedy." There we liavc the true Galsworthy, as mastarly _' a novelist as England has produced. There arc scenes and characters in these stories which indelibly im- print themselves upon the reader's memory, and if the reader happens to have an appreciation for the finer qualities of style he will go back to them time and again, and with increasing admiration. It would he rash to predict what contemporary works of literature will be acclaimed or dccriecl by P05tcrlty. Of Keats' poems a con- temporary reviewer declared indig- nantly: “This will never do!" Yet Keats’ fame survives, and we have forgotten even tho name of his eocksure critic. Few are the auth. ors of works now ranked as class- ics who have not been thus treat- ed at some time or oiller; and the converse is equally ti-ue_ Many writers who achieved unbounded P0PUlflfity in their time, and whose literary irrunortality was a foregone ~ conclusion, are now completely for- gotten, while the names of others SU1`\’iVc by reason of being embed- ded in some famed satirical compo- sitlon, such as Popes "Dunciad” or Byron`s "English Bards and Scotch Reviewers." Nevertheless, lt is safe --L0 say of the best work of Gals- | “’01'ihy that its chances-of survival .are as great RS the work of any` English writer in recent times, with the possible exceptions of Com-ad and Hardy, my iiclross THE CENTURIES An illustration in Mondays Guar- dlflll Sh0Wf,d st remarkable archaeol- °2i°81 dlwovvry-a richly sculptor- ed staircase, apparently in pc;-foot; nrvsenatlon. or one or the royal' Palaces of Darius at Pcrsepolis, in ancient Persia. It was at the battle °f A1‘l>¢1=1. in 331 B. c. that the F'°fSlBn hosts were -defeated by A1. exander the Great. Darius rica with the remnants of his army into the COUNTY of the Modes. Alexander ‘ mlrfhed on to Babylon, ancient ~ city of Hammurabi and of Nebvuch~ ‘ _' adnessar the Great which was still V- R l1I‘<>€»nel'ous and important centre. Thcncc the conqueror proceeded to Busa, the Pcrslan capital, and then on to Pcrfepolis, wherc, as the climax of a drunken carousc, he .burnt down the great palace of the ' “king of kings" as Darius styled himself. This Alexander afterwards declared was thc revenge of Gfcccc for the burning of Anthem by Xcrxes. For centuries the ruins at Pers- _ Pvolis had been forgotten, And now, after two years of excavation in the black lime soil of the country, V-l'¢h‘1€010§lsts of the University of Chicago have uncovered the re- mains of this ancient city, the grandeur of which, cvcn in its ruins, bears tcstimzny to the power and resources of its fcunders. In addi- tion to a wealth of magnificent Nllflvtllrc, rl:lt;ug back to Cyrus the Great and beloved to contain the earliest .-,pccirztlls of art ever dis- covered in A<:§a, another find, within tivo milf-s of Pcrsepalls, ls claimorl to llrlvc been made in the shape of n prinlilll'c Stone Age village nirut 5,000 years old. . While intrrcst ill these discover- 'les is chiefly ni an lltstnrical and a:'.-ll.‘.wl";?tul l;.;iu.'e. they serve also to cul_vil:r.'~.Ize the levelling effect ll of 'rims ghd the ephemeral nature of human glory. The gap between the stone Age and the luxurious civ- ilization at Persepolls is mater than that which separates us DOGBY fran the times of Darius and Alex' ander; yet the relics of both these bygone periods are d'slnt_erred sim- ultaneously and seem equally re- mote from modem aifairs and oc- cupations. This is a chronological illus ion from which philosophical writ- ers have drawn many sobering re- flections. "The iniquity of oblivlon," wrote Sir Thomas Browne, “blindly scatter-eth her poppy, and deals with the memory of men without distinction to merit of perpetulty." True, the fame of Alexander still survives, but "who knows whether the best of men be known, or whether there be not more remark- able personsforgot than any that stand remembered in the lrnovlm account of Time? . . . The greater part must be oontent to be as though they had not been; to be found in the register of God, not in the record of men _ . . For the night of time far sux-passeth the day. and who knows when was the equinox?" A RADICAL DEFEAT SP€H1¢fI18 On behalf of the defeat- ed Co-operative Commonwealth Party candidate in the recent Cal- gary Lly-election, Miss Agnes Maclghail, M. P.. is reported as hav- ing ranted about the lnoornpetency of Canada's industrial system and the hypocrisy 0! "the universities, the press, the govemments and the churches." It. ls, of course, in times of crisis and dimculty that such wiudbegs as Miss Mscphail _are most n evidence. The fact that the ln- stltutlorls and individuals against which their raucous voice is raised are struggling to maintan Canada’s courage and confidence means noth- ing to agitators of this type. They have their own political and econ- omic nostrums to verld: and since their appeal is to prejudice and ignorance they need have few scrup- les as to the statements- they make. The Calgary electors rightly de- cided that they did not want Miss Macphail’s- pet candidate in the legislature. They elected an Inde- pendent Conservative, a business man who had some stake in the community and whose judgment and experience warranted confidence. In this connection lt. is well to remem- ber, as a_ correspondent in an On- tarla exchange points out, that those who are in charge of our banks, our railways, our governments and of our multlfarious industries are where they are because of initiative. skill, and hard work. They began, many of them, as simple clerks or apprentices, passed through various grades, and finally and logically ‘large business men began in a small way with meagre capital. Most of our successful statesmen and pro- fesional men were-apparently- handicapped inaslmllar way. Their most priceless possession was char- acter. They worked, they persisted, through good’gLmes and bad, and, in the end, attained to positions of leadership and responsibility. They ‘did not and do .not believe that civ- ilizatlon can be built up by con- tinuous verbal volleylng. And from his own eicperience i_he average man knows that they are right.

Irlcidentally, France and Italy funded their debts with the United States at a later date than Great Britain and secured better terms than the more prom-pt dobtor.

But people will go on from one of Masefield’s to the next one and the next, discovering new beau- ties, relinquishing with regret old favorite lines for the iovellness of newer ones. Still even in the gar- den of enchantment which Mase- fleld has planted for our delight one must stop somewhere and say that here indeed is musle's last dy- ing fall, that the spirit can endure nothing in excess of it. So we say that thc short poem beginning: “Bc with me, beauty, for the f're is dying-” and ending: “Even the night will blossom as the rose." is lovcly enough to bring tears to the eyes and more tenderness would turn cruel.
