GREAT POEM IS UNWRITTEN Tells Alanint of Teachers Trntnlnjr Class That Much Work Is Narrow in Its Interpretation of Nature and Is Not Unman, Speaking on tho -subject of "Symbolism In Poetry," Superintendent E. U. Graff of the public schools told tho alumnae of the teachers' training class yesterday afternoon at tho city hall that attempts to scientifically classify symbols had failed because the work assumed too much tho direction of theology. 'When literature has a book In which the symbolism of things Is scientifically opened, It will be the poem of the world," said Superintendent Graff. In criticising these attempts to "scien tifically open" tho symbolism of things, Superintendent Graff said the "theolog ical bias" fatally 'harrowed tho Inter pretation of nature and did not leave the work "universal and human." He said: "My attenton was first directed to this subject by a sentence of Emerson, In his essay on Swedenborg. He is discussing Swedenborg's doctrine of' representations ana correspondences, which is. briefly. that the physical world Is purely sym bolic of the spiritual world; that If we express a natural truth In physical terms and convert these terms Into cor responding spiritual terms, wo shall, by this means, elicit a spiritual truth. "This symbolism, Emerson states, Is implied In all poetry, In allegory, In fable. In the uso of emblems, and In the struc ture of language. The poets, lnasfar as they are poets, use ltp but it Is known to them only as the magnet was known for ages, as a toy. "And down- to this hour Utcraturo has no book In which the symbolism of things Is scientifically opened. Swenden borg's design of exhibiting such cor respondences, If adequately executed, would be the poem of the world, was nar rowed anddefeatcd by the exclusive theo logical direction which his inquiries took. His perception of nature Is not unlverslal and human, but Is mystical and He braic. His theological bias thus fatally narrowed his Interpretation of nature, and the dictionary of symbols Is yet to bo written. But the Interpreter whom mankind must still expect will find no predecessor who has approached so npar the true problem." To show tho part played by symbolism In literature, Superintendent Griff read from many poets, pointing" out that 'this method of explaining and teaching was a natural tendency. Continuing, he said of symbolism, literature, poetry, and all mental life: "Even a superficial examination re veals an extensive use of symbolism In all our thinking. The mind, penetrated with this thought, projects it outward on whatever it beholds. The lovor sees re minders of his mistress In every beauti ful object; tho saint an argument for devotion In every natural process; and the facility with which nature lends itself to the thoughts of man; the aptness with which a river, a flower, a bird, a fire, a day, or night, can express his fortunes, is as if the world were only a disguised man, and, with a change of form, ren dered to him all his experlenoe, "This necessity of thinking in comparl eons, of learning the unknown through the known, of seeing the Ideal In the real. I as pervasive of literature and poetry as it is or our mental life." KNOCKS EXPRESS AGENT DOWN: STEALS THOUSANDS FARMINGTON, III..
