There are five poems: a "Villanelle," by C. E. Whitmore, which has the usual characteristics of a villanelle; "Illusion" by J. H. Wheelock, which gives one the impression of having appeared in the Monthly at intervals for years; "I Craved for that Lost Twilght by the Sea," by W. H. Wright, the unreality of which keeps it from being as mysterious and improper as one fears it was meant to be; "A Lover to his Too Docile Lady," three neatly turned stanzas on a conventional theme; and, finally, the somewhat ambitious "Sea Lovers" of H. Hagedorn, Jr. This last piece...
...Henshaw, a burlesque, "The Chambers Maid"; Mr. Mclntyre, a story, "Her House out of Order"; Mr. Stoddard, an essay, "The American Snob"; and Mr. Walsh, a poem, "The Explorer." "Dead Man's Pine," a story, by Mr. K. B. Townsend '08, "Sea-Vision," a poem, by Mr. J. H. Wheelock 08, and two editorials complete the list...
Most difficult of all to estimate is Mr. Wheelock's achievement in "Sea-Visions." The irregular metre and occasional faulty rhymes ("moan" and "gone," "saw" and "door") are disturbing. The overlapping phrases in the first line of each stanza, on the other hand, and the insistent refrain, "O thalassa, thalassa," are decidedly effective, and only fail to be completely successful, perhaps, from the fact that they seem a bit too consciously employed. These, however, are minor faults in a poem which, as a successful attempt to treat a great theme worthily, is decidedly unusual in undergraduate verse...
...noteworthy also that this sonnet should be the work of Percy Mackaye '97, who delighted all of us who heard the play with his strong musical verse in "Jeanne d'Arc." "Villanelle," by W. H. Wright Sp., and "The Descent of Istar into Hades" by J. H. Wheelock '08 enshrine some of the tricks and a little of the fascination of the school of Rossetti. Both show imagination, the second especially has some excellent lines. "The Song of the Revolutionist" by A. Davis '07 has a good galloping rhythm, and "O I'll be there at the Merrymaking...
