Abstract

A Revelation of Belgian Poets
Dewey, Stoddard | July 13, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on Belgian poets. When Charles van Lerberghe died in Brussels eleven years ago, it was related that he left a promising "Song of Eve." Emile Verhaeren became fairly known to all who listen for voices singing the world's joy and stress and pain. And that was practically all the ordinary poetry-reader knew of Belgian poets. In the poems of Dumont Wilden, he deprecates speaking of "Belgian literature" of French expression. In his poems of Belgians, every reader will recognize that nationality which the world is determined to save from war's extinction. The offhand phrase and jingle, crude color and rich savors, even when most reminiscent, are all their own.
