Alas, those\\neasy-going days are no more. Fame is not to be so cheaply\\nearned. Meanwhile, every writer, who is also a reader, well\\nknows that with the multiplication of books, good and bad,\\nno sane person is omnivorous nowadays, but, according to\\ntemperament and profession, more or less strictly herbivorous,\\ngranivorous or carnivorous. There must then surely be those\\namong any author s friends who desire to praise his perform-\\nance fairly to his face, or fault it candidly behind his back,\\nwithout the agonizing preparation of a personal perusal\\nthereof. Fully appreciating such friends, and eager to put\\nthem in his debt by a piece of thoughtfulness, an old-fash-\\nioned argument is painstakingly set down here.\\nARGUMENT OF A VISION OF NEW HELLAS.\\nThe poet, disgusted with the modem industrial and commercial\\ncivilization (symbolized by the city in foul weather), climbs the hill of\\nHellenic culture in hopes of seeing the eternal blue of heaven. He\\nis disappointed. Though the smoke-pall of sordidness is below him,\\nthe cloud-sky of pessimism continues overhead.\\nIn his despair, the ancient harvest-home goddess Demeter appears,\\nand explains to the poet what is really going on in the city below: a\\ndevelopment of the race by competition.

Thereupon Demeter adopts Dionysus as her son.\\nIn the joy of union between mother, daughter and son, they\\ntogether resolve to bring again to life Aphrodite, the beauty of form,\\nand Apollo, the light of the mind. Dionysus prophesies that in the\\nmodern world these shall be wedded (as they were not in Hellas), and\\nthat from them shall in time spring a new race of gods (ideals) which\\nshall mingle with mankind, and uplift them till God and men can\\nfeast together at one divine board.\\nHere the poet awakes from his vision. The prophetic storm has\\ncleared the sky. The wind has dissipated the smoke, and the city\\nstands beneath him in august beauty: the arena for the heroes of to-day.\\nThe poem concludes with an interpretation of the vision, which\\njustifies our highest hopes for the race that shall inhabit the new and\\ngreater Hellas, and shall ever lovingly worship the hero-god as the\\ngod of life and death.\\nFurthermore, dear reader, the author would fain observe\\nthat although the pedigree of the printer s dexdl is shockingly-\\nbrief, stretching back at best only to mediaeval days, this\\nmythological parvenu has intruded his obnoxious person\\ninto the hallowed precincts of our classic poem and here\\nfollows an enumeration of his unseemly pranks.\\nERRATA.\\nPage 37, verse 98: A parenthesis is missing at the end of the line.\\nPage 55, verse 293: Read Jire instead of ire.\\nPage 113, verse 914: Read Cyprus for Cypress.\\nPage 141, verse 1207, and page 155, verse 1360: Read Melpotnenos\\nfor Melphomenos.\\nPage 160: Read (in rubric) polytheism for poletheism.\\nPage 184: Read (in rubric) Eleusynian for Elusynian.\\n204", "height": "3278", "width": "2085", "jp2-path": "songsofamericand00guth_0210.jp2"}, "211": {"fulltext": "Mythoi^ogicai, Glossary.\\nIn conclusion, dear reader, lest at some remotely future\\nday he should wake up and find himself prematurely\\nfamous, and therefore desire to justify his extollers by a\\ncareful examination of this, his first mature performance, but\\nshould find himself sorely let and hindered by the then mil-\\ndewed state of his Olympian lore provident of contingen-\\ncies, your author has appended (purely for his personal\\nconvenience, be it remembered) a mythological glossary,\\nthe which Professor Frederick L,.
