Nev ertheless, he soon married Mary Godwin, and with her and their children went to Italy. He had been deprived of the children of his first wife because of his athe ism. While in Italy, Shelley was as sociated whh Leigh Hunt and Byron, and while there he produc ed some of his best works. During the remainder of his life he lived in Italy, writing exquisite letters and composing, immortal poetry. The truth of Shelley’s character ization becomes clean to anyone who reads his longer poems. The first of these, “Queen Mab,” is a work of impassioned reason and passionate rhetoric. The second, “Spirit of Solitude,” shows him to be a master artist. The third, “The Revolt of Islam,” showed how spensarian stanza should be writ ten, while Chide Harold should not. ‘Julian and Maddalo’ pictures Lord Byron and Venice fji existence. “Prcmetrens Unbound,” probably his greatest poems, can’ hardly be compared with anything outside of Shakespeare or the Bible. The “Cenci” is a noble and terrible tragedy, “Adonais,” written on the death of Keats, is one of the greatest poems of its type in Eng land. Shelley is best known, how ever, for his short poems, which Swinburne calls scraps of heaven and shreds of paradise. Among his short poems are: “Ode to the West Windf’ “The Cloud, to a Skylark,” “the Letter to Maria Gisborne,” the “Hymn to Hermes,” “The Witch of Atlas, “The Ode to Lib erty,” “The Ode to Naples,” and “The Senstive Plant.” “To a Sky lark” is perhaps the best, as it is certainly the best known of Shel ley’s poems. Charming personifi cations abound in his poetry, for nature always appeared to him as the symbol of his own models and emotions . All in all, Shelley ranks as. one of the foremost English ly ric poets; perhaps when at his best, no one ever surpassed him. The following quotations are extracts from his poetry: The thunder and the hiss of Homeless streams. “The Spirit of Solitude.” -Three thousand years of sleep. Unsheltered hours. “Prome-1 thens Unbound.” And the gloom divine is all around, And underneath is the mossy ground, Life, like a dome of many—col ored glass. Stains the while radiance of eternity. Until death tramples it to frag ments. “Most Wretched Men.” Are cradled into poatry by wrong, They learn in suffering what They teach in song. “Julian and Maddalo.” O Wind, if winter comes, can spring be Far behind? “Ode to the West Wind.” That Orhed Maiden, with white fire laden, whom Mortals call the moon. “The Cloud.” Hail to thee, blithe spirit!

E. B. MR. BARFIELD SPEAKS TO THE STUDENTS APRIL 16. Mr. Barfield gave a very appro priate talk in chapel; it applied especially to the seniors. He read some verses of scripture about the three men that were given differ ent numbers of talents by their lord. The first two used their talents, but as the other was afraid he would lose his he hid it in the earth. When the lord call ed for his talents those of the first two men had been doubled; they had used them and therefore received their reward. The other had buried his. The lord ordered him to be bound and cast into out er darkness. School will be out soon, there are questions that sohuld come to us (especially seniors). What shall I do with my talents? Shall I use thfem or hide them? After seniors have graduated, what w r ill they do? We must answer these questions ourselves. We_can use our talents in school and after we have finish ed school. P. W. 8A CLASS GIVES PROGRAM. The 8A class had charge of the program given in chapel on Thurs day, April 17. The first number was a reading, “Daddy Doc,” by Kathryn Brown. We were next en tertained with a piano solo, by Hel en Crawford. The last number was a one act play, “Business Be fore Pleasure.” The characters, Jewel Patterson and Paula Vaugh an, acted their parts well. The scene- of the play was laid in a jealous woman’s bedroom. She was jealous because her husband paid more attention to. business than he did to her. It seemed at first that the unhappy couple would part, but when the wife thought that her husband was trying to get rid of her, she would not leave. The play ended with the two furious characters happily reunited. PIG’S PEN (By Mabel Lyon) Small Boy: “Dad, I saved ten cents today.
