To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And now a word as to the new form : free verse and rhythmic prose. The doctrine, chacnn doit trouver en lui- 22 meme sa forme rhythmique, can be carried too far, and very minor poets take advantage of this liberty to convey their thought without regard to workmanship or inspiration; the climax is reached when we are given slipshod verse on themes such as " Chants de Five o'clock Tea " ! There is, as a matter of fact, no freedom in art ; beauty has its laws just as life has its laws, and a numbe...r of poets turned away from free verse, fearing its dangers and monotony, and preferred a kind of neo-classicalism. Great writers, such as Claudel and Verhaeren, however, have known how to com- bine the rhythmic and metrical elements in verse and give us something complete, and their own. Curiously enough, two of the most enthusiastic exponents of free verse, Viele-Griffin and Stuart Merrill, are French poets of American origin. * They were undoubtedly influenced by Walt Whitman, whom they greatly admired, and who has been admirably translated into French.
