ART AND LETTERS
T HE production of a new Review at the present time seems to call for a word of explanation, though not for apology. An illustrated monthly on the lines of ART AND LETTERS had been planned by the editors so far back as the spring of 1914, and arrangements had been made for its publication in the autumn of that year.
Though scotched by the outbreak of the European war, the project has never been killed in the minds of the editors, who, rather than face indefinite postponement, have chosen to give birth to the venture in the modified form of a quarterly.
Objections on the score of scarcity of paper and shortage of labour may surely be overruled when we remember the reams of paper wasted weekly and the hundreds of compositors daily misemployed on periodicals which give vulgar and illiterate expression to the most vile and debasing sentiments. Friends serving at the Frontsome of whom contribute to this first issueremind us that there are educated men in the Army who would gladly welcome an addition to the small number of publications which appeal to them. Engaged, as their duty bids, on harrowing work of destruction, they exhort their elders at home never to lose sight of the supreme importance of creative art.
Little would it profit this nation, one writes, if we achieve complete victory only to repeat the tragic error of Germany, which has become a plague to civilisation by falsely seeing greatness in Moltke and Bismarck rather than in Goethe and Beethoven.
It is no mean or unworthy task to uphold the highest standards in all the arts, paying no respect to popular sentiment and ephemeral reputations, and making no concession to commercial opportunities. This is the aim of ART AND LETTERS, and it is in the firm and deep conviction that what they have to do is worth doing that the editors now go forward.
I.CURFEW.
L IKE a faun my head uplifted
In delicate mists:
And breaking on my soul
The tremulous waves that beat and cling
To yellow leaves and dark green hills:
Bells in the Autumn evening.
II.THE POND.
Shrill green weeds
Float on the black pond:
A rising fish
Ripples the still water:
And disturbs my soul.
HERBERT READ.
