Your "Old Poets" in the November Number of the North American Review, I read with
much pleasure & interest, particularly the last expanded thought from the
paragraph "grand as to–day's accumulation find of poetry is, &c" to the
end of the
sketch.
It seems to me that the poetry of the future should include the ideas of the
brotherhood of man—(your solidarity, is it not?)—& the fatherhood of
God & charity is (unselfishness) (love) to
all on Faith & happiness (perfect) in re-union with our fellow-man
in
Heaven—our Father's house for all time, (Eternity). With the central idea
running through it all of the redemption of men (humanity) by this Elder Brother,
the Christ.
Pardon my sending you my thoughts, which, judging from the tone of your article I feel sure
you will understand
I beg leave to sign myself,
One of your admirers William F. Jackson Newark, N.J. November Ninth.Why should not the poem that is to last be written by an American? Do not all nations meet & blend in America?
