AWTHORNE: BY PROFESSOR GATES OF HARVARD. Copyright, 1 ~ I ‘When a reader turns back to Hawthorne from our modern romances one of the first impressions is of the distinction of Haw- thorne's work. Our modern romances are nolsy; they have a theatrical glare and clatter; they lack subtlety and depth of experience and wisdom and poetry. They seem the clever but shallow work of me- chanical artists. Their authors know the | tricks of their trade; they are lavish of local color; they deck out their heroes and heroines wisely with virtues and foibles in due proportion, and lead them skillfully through many hairbreadth escapes to a happy issue out of their infirmities. But when all is said and done, these romances are only books for a diy, and they leave us where they found us, unless perhaps they have teased us out of a headache. To read one of Hawthorne's great ro- mances slowly and appreciatively, sub- jecting one’s self thoroughly to its influ- ence, is to temper one’s seif more finely for all time. Hawthorne was in art an aristocrat, and his stories, long or short, are delicately exclusive in style and tone and subject matter. Everything takes on quality that es through Hawthorne's mind and into his prose. Read the “House | of the Seven Gables” and then go to Salem and look at the unredeemed facts of Salem | streets and _life. Or read the ‘‘Mosses From an Old Manse” and then consider at Concord the actual, pathetic, weather- | beaten structure. Out of harsh or trivial faets Hawthorne has in each case wrought a counterfeit presentment that is full of tender human interest, of pathos, of hu- mor, of wise suggestion as regards the eaning and the value of our wayward life on this parti-colored earth ball—full of picturesque light and shade and dreamy beauty. These instances are characteristic | of his entire treatment of the world of fact. The fineness and distinction of Ha thorne's temperament, the serene wisdom of his interpretation , of human nature, | most fantastic and | types, and the power of his style as a transfiguring medium to ive a lucent charm to whatever it brings efore the reader are too often forgotten in_these days of universal scribbling. Hawthorne has been sketched by his bi- | ographer as often skating “‘until midnight, | all alone, upon Sebago Lake, with the deep | shadows of the hills on’ either hand.” This picture may well symbolize (the word is a favorite one with Hawthorne) the | novelist’s remoteness from ordinary life. | There used to be a legend that while at Salem Hawthorne ‘‘never saw the sun.” Though this legend is false, true it is that { he rarely stirred out until after nightfall | then_he took long, solitary walks through the deserted streets and by the sea. There was something of the night In his disposi- | “he was fonder,” as Mr. James has 'of being absent than of being pres- ent.”* And the worlds he creates or reveals | in his novels—these, too, like Hawthorne | himself, are shadowed and full of elusive- | ness; the characters “drop from the clouds’'; they come vaguely out of a half- | suspected past: they are just real enough to make us much of the time forget their | symbolic suggestions; and yet they speed- ily startle us again into a shivering sense of their other-worldliness, of their dubious | | origin and their mysterious mission: they | are creatures set apart; they beckon us to strangeknowledge: we cateh from them | then a glance full of meanin will not stay to be questioned but turn again to some homely or tenderly | human task. Hester Prynne, Pearl, Zeno- bia, the Faun, or Clifford and even Hilda all have this tantalizing suggestive- | ness and elusiveness. Yet these half-symbolic characters, in spite of their trick of now and then seem- | ing for a moment but ?hosl.‘. capture our | belief and lay hold of our imaginations | far more than Hawthorne's perfectly | possible characters, like Kenyon or Miles | Coverdale. They are indeed Hawthorne's most genuine creations—spirit__of his spirit and dream of his dream. ey are, moreover, the perfectly natural people to find dwelling in those twilight cham- bers, or moving along these dimly out- lined streets. or flitting somewhat inex- plicably through those country lanes and forest depths that Hawthorne's imagin- | ation loved to describe—regions where the homeliest objects flash out sudden glimpses of an inner spiritual meaning. In the “House of the Seven Gabl Hawthorne somewhere speaks with de- lightfully characteristic patronage of “the big. heavy. solid unrealitles ch as gold | Janded estate. offices of and emol { ument and public honors.” ‘‘What. then, are the realities?” one can fancy a. mod- ern stock broker asking. Hawthorne's | | | answered us, “do not swerve aside R e OW— RaL e S o B o g 900, by Seymour Eaton. 1, = LITERARY TALKS AND REMINISCENCES. series of romances may be taken ag merely an artfully coptrived answer ta some such question. In to sum- marize this answer one can nndlx'avold using the old-fashioned, trite words love, poetry, human sympathy, beauty, sin, ex- fation, reverence, worstip and ‘the like, or though Hawthorne can see in the dark and luxuriates im x::sstsry he has none of the modern de nt’ disdain for whatever is norm: His ro- mances, as he himself has substantially from He is as the truth of the human heart.” @+ ot s eteieseieirg HAWTHORNE. Qs siraisiesedete® R R R R R R S R S R S S R far as possible from being a mere fancy monger or purveyor of artificial strange dreams. His Puritan ancestors rule him from their graves, and throughout his writings there runs the spiritual intensity of Puritanism—its visionary faith in the unseen—freed from that pedantic religi- osity of phrase and thought, that rigidit> and ascerbity of temper and that distrust of whatever pleases the senses that in the case of the Puritans themselves caused the disguise of their essentially poetic fervor behind so crusty an exterior It may, of course, be urged, and i* must indeed be admitted, that Hawthorne has in_various ways paid the penalty his inherited spirituafity and of his morbidly sensitive nerves. He is afraid of actusd life; he knows nothing and suggests noth- ing of its acrid, primal joys: I* he is an aristocrat, he IS also an absentes, He has the dreamer’s dim eye for the immediata The minute detalls of conventional scape him. The subtleties of mane ner and thought in human (ntercoursa that a highly developed civillzation gen- erates have in his writings found no rec- ord. He simplifies life into its element: and even among them he chooses o those that are the most rarefled, and in working them into his art he still further refines them. His Faun, doubtless, used ivory-handied brushes and Lubin‘s pomades. We can hardly faney Haw- thorne caring for Mulvaney or Ortheris Yet, with all his refinement and with all his vislonariness, how little affecta- tion there is in him and what a large store of genial humanity. Conjurer he may be. but you would never suspect it from his manner and his dress. He affects no solemn frown, he utters no hollow- sounding rhodomontade: there is no flour- ishing of a wizard's wand. In that mem- orable and, when one considers it, aston- ishingly artificial chapter that describes Judge Pyncheon sitting dead. the night through. in Hepazibah's parlor, the tons of the narrative is from first to last col- loquial and fronical. merely the somewhat idealized tone of daily speech. There is no trace of a sepulchral. melodramatic intonation. Our nerves may now and then crisp as we follow Hawthorne through the shadowed regions of his stories, and we may feel as we look back on them that life is not often so persistently sin- haunted as he depicts it. Yet even through the most- melancholy his narrative there breathes the fragrancs that the human affections disseminate: there are winds that move to and fro with nealing in their wings: the heavens are never brazen; the air is never sullen or tainted with hopelessness. Hawthorne was a loyal. if remote. lover of his fel- lows, and his love of them and faith in them have given to all he has written a prevailing tone of sweet and tender hu- manity . LEWIS E. GATES.
