High critics, however, held that the excellent quality of Dr. Bridges's verses more than com- pensated for their paucity. W. B. Yeats, the Irish poet who was awarded the Noble prize for lit- crature in 1923, some years ago characterized Dr. Bridges as the greatest of living poets, and as years passed by English authorities stood by that estimate. Another characterization described him as “England’s one classical poet.” Upholds Views Holding some opinions with re- gard to poetical forms and expres- sions that were looked upon as al most radical, Dr. Bridges had the courage to uphold his views and defend them against his critics. One habit for which he had been widely criticized was the use of Creek accents to determine the pronunciation of certain syllables in his verse. He defended this prac- tice in a note at the end of his masque, “Demeter,” saying: “I do not myself see that Eng- lish accentuation differs much from the Greek. If a consistent phonetic spelling of English were to be in- troduced, we should find that many words would be quite un- recognizable without accents, and that the Greek accents would serve us very well to express our tra ditional pronunciations.” Dr. Bridges was an ardent advo- cate of correct pronunciation and 2 modified new spelling. He main- tained that English prosody de- pends upon the number of stressed syllables in a line and not upon the number of syllables, and that poetry should follow the rules of natural speech. He was a rather inspiring example to the author who believes in himself and who is content to wait for recognition without making an effort to obtain it. For several years he published his poems in limited and semi-pri- vate editions. Gradually they gain- ed recognition among a small and| select circle, which began to widen until London newspapers took an interest in his writings. This re- sulted in his works being printed i a form that made them avail- able to the general public. Shorter Poems In addition to a number of shorter poems Dr. Bridges's early works included “The Growth of Love, Prometheus, the Fire-Giver,” which he published privately in 1883 at Oxford and which he styled “A mask in the Greek manner." ‘90 Skin Lotions Chamberlain Wildroot Silque Max Factor’s Protect Your Skin Juneau Drug Company Free Delivery Phone 33 Post Office Substation No. 1 les in The new Walk-Over Shoes have arrived.
