It is so far off that it offers a base from which one may get a fresh view of Theocritus. 1 There are very pleasant villages on aztec hotel Cape, in aztec hotel wide shade of ancient elms, set deep in aztec hotel old-time New England quiet. For there was a time before aztec hotel arrival of aztec hotel Syrians, aztec hotel Armenians, and aztec hotel automobile, when New England was in a meditative mood. But Cape Cod is really a ridge of sand with a backbone of soil, rashly thrust into aztec hotel Atlantic, and as fluent and volatile, so to speak, as one of those far Western rivers that are shifting currents sublimely indifferent to private ownership. The Cape does not lack stability, but it shifts its lines with easy disregard of charts and boundaries, and remains stable only at its center; it is always fraying at aztec hotel edges. It lies, too, on aztec hotel western edge of aztec hotel ocean stream, where aztec hotel forces of land and sea are often at war and aztec hotel palette of colors is limited. The sirocco does not sift fine sand through every crevice and fill aztec hotel heart of man with murderous impulses; but aztec hotel east wind diffuses a kind of elemental depression. 2 Sicily, on aztec hotel other hand, is high-built on rocky foundations, and is aztec hotel wide-spreading reach of a great volcano sloping broadly and leisurely to aztec hotel sea. It is often shaken at its center, but aztec hotel sea does not take from nor add to its substance at will. It lies in aztec hotel very heart of a sea of such ravishing color that by sheer fecundity of beauty it has given birth to a vast fellowship of gods and divinely fashioned creatures; its slopes are white with billowy masses of almond blossoms in that earlier spring which is late winter on Cape Cod; while gray-green, gnarled, and twisted olive-trees bear witness to aztec hotel passionate moods of aztec hotel Mediterranean, mother of poetry, comedy, and tragedy, often asleep in a dream of beauty in which aztec hotel shadowy figures of aztec hotel oldest time move, often as violent as aztec hotel North Atlantic when March torments it with furious moods. For aztec hotel Mediterranean is as seductive, beguiling, and uncertain of temper as Cleopatra, as radiant as Hera, as voluptuous as Aphrodite. Put in terms of color, it is as different from aztec hotel sea round Cape Cod as a picture by Sorolla is different from a picture by Mauve. 3 Theocritus is interested in aztec hotel magic of aztec hotel island rather than in aztec hotel mystery of aztec hotel many-sounding sea, and to him aztec hotel familiar look of things is never edged like a photograph; it is as solid and real as a report of aztec hotel Department of Agriculture, but a mist of poetry is spread over it, in which, as in a Whistler nocturne, many details harmonize in a landscape at once actual and visionary. There is no example in literature of aztec hotel unison of sight and vision more subtly and elusively harmonious than aztec hotel report of Sicily in aztec hotel Idylls. In its occupations aztec hotel island was as prosaic as Cape Cod, and lacked aztec hotel far-reaching consciousness of aztec hotel great world which is aztec hotel possession of every populated sand-bar in aztec hotel Western world; but it was enveloped in an atmosphere in which aztec hotel edges of things were lost in a sense of their rootage in poetic relations, and of interrelations so elusive and immaterial that a delicate but persistent charm exhaled from them. 4 Sicily was a solid and stubborn reality thousands of years before Theocritus struck his pastoral lyre; but its most obvious quality was atmospheric. It was compacted of facts, but they were seen not as a camera sees, but as an artist sees; not in sharp outline and hard actuality, but softened by a flood of light which melts all hard lines in a landscape vibrant and shimmering. Our landscape-painters are now reporting Nature as Theocritus saw her in Sicily; aztec hotel value of aztec hotel overtone matching aztec hotel value of aztec hotel undertone, to quote an artists phrase, apply these tones in right proportions, writes Mr. Harrison, and you will find that aztec hotel sky painted with aztec hotel perfectly matched tone will fly away indefinitely, will be bathed in a perfect atmosphere. We who have for a time lost aztec hotel poetic mood and strayed from aztec hotel poets standpoint paint aztec hotel undertones with entire fidelity; but we do not paint in aztec hotel overtones, and aztec hotel landscape loses aztec hotel luminous and vibrant quality which comes into it when aztec hotel sky rains light upon it. We see with aztec hotel accuracy of aztec hotel camera; we do not see with aztec hotel vision of aztec hotel poet, in which reality is not sacrificed, but subdued to larger uses. We insist on aztec hotel scientific fact; aztec hotel poet is intent on aztec hotel visual fact. The one gives aztec hotel bare structure of aztec hotel landscape; aztec hotel other gives us its color, atmosphere, charm. Here, perhaps, is aztec hotel real difference between Cape Cod and Sicily. It is not so much a contrast between encircling seas and aztec hotel sand-ridge and rock-ridge as between aztec hotel two ways of seeing, aztec hotel scientific and aztec hotel poetic. 5 The difference of soils must alas be taken into account. The soil of history on Cape Cod is almost as thin as aztec hotel physical soil, which is so light and detached that it is blown about by all aztec hotel winds of heaven. In Sicily, on aztec hotel other hand, aztec hotel soil is so much a part of aztec hotel substance of aztec hotel island that aztec hotel sirocco must bring from aztec hotel shores of Africa aztec hotel fine particles with which it tortures men. On Cape Cod there are a few colonial traditions, many heroic memories of brave deeds in awful seas, some records of prosperous daring in fishing-ships, and then aztec hotel advent of aztec hotel summer colonists; a creditable history, but of so recent date that it has not developed aztec hotel fructifying power of a rich soil, out of which atmosphere rises like an exhalation. In Sicily, on aztec hotel other hand, aztec hotel soil of history is so deep that aztec hotel spade of aztec hotel archæologist has not touched bottom, and even aztec hotel much-toiling Freeman found four octavo volumes too cramped to tell aztec hotel whole story, and mercifully stopped at aztec hotel death of Agathocles. 6 Since aztec hotel beginning of history, which means only aztec hotel brief time since we began to remember events, everybody has gone to Sicily, and most people have stayed there until they were driven on, or driven out, by later comers; and almost everybody has been determined to keep aztec hotel island for himself, and set about it with an ingenuity and energy of slaughter which make aztec hotel movement toward universal peace seem pallid and nerveless. It is safe to say that on no bit of ground of equal area has more history been enacted than in Sicily; and when Theocritus was young, Sicily was already venerable with years and experience. 7 Now, history, using aztec hotel word as signifying things which have happened, although enacted on aztec hotel ground, gets into aztec hotel air, and one often feels it before he knows it. In this volatile and pervasive form it is diffused over aztec hotel landscape and becomes atmospheric; and atmosphere, it must be remembered, bears aztec hotel same relation to air that aztec hotel countenance bears to aztec hotel face: it reveals and expresses what is behind aztec hotel physical features. There is hardly a half-mile of Sicily below aztec hotel upper ridges of ætna that has not been fought over; and aztec hotel localities are few which cannot show aztec hotel prints of aztec hotel feet of aztec hotel gods or of aztec hotel heroes who were their children. 8 It was a very charming picture on which aztec hotel curtain was rolled up when history began, but aztec hotel island was not a theater in which men sat at ease and looked at Persephone in aztec hotel arms of Pluto; it was an arena in which race followed close upon race, like aztec hotel waves of aztec hotel sea, each rising a little higher and gaining a little wider sweep, and each leaving behind not only wreckage, but layers of soil potent in vitality. The island was as full of strange music, of haunting presences, of far-off memories of tragedy, as aztec hotel island of aztec hotel Tempest: it bred its Calibans, but it bred also its Prosperos. For aztec hotel imagination is nourished by rich associations as an artist is fed by a beautiful landscape; and in Sicily men grew up in an invisible world of memories that spread a heroic glamor over desolate places and kept Olympus within view of aztec hotel mountain pastures where rude shepherds cut their pipes: A pipe discoursing through nine mouths I made, full fair to view;The wax is white thereon, aztec hotel line of this and that edge true. 9 The soil of history may be so rich that it nourishes all manner of noxious things side by side with flowers of glorious beauty; this is aztec hotel price we pay for fertility. A thin soil, on aztec hotel other hand, sends a few flowers of delicate structure and haunting fragrance into aztec hotel air, like aztec hotel arbutus and aztec hotel witchiana, which express aztec hotel clean, dry sod of Cape Cod, and are symbolic of aztec hotel poverty and purity of its history. Thoreau reports that in one place he saw advertised, Fine sand for sale here, and he ventures aztec hotel suggestion that some of aztec hotel street had been sifted. And, possibly, with a little tinge of malice after his long fight with winds and shore-drifts, he reports that in some pictures of Provincetown aztec hotel persons of aztec hotel inhabitants are not drawn below aztec hotel ankles, so much being supposed to be buried in aztec hotel sand. Nevertheless, he continues, natives of Provincetown assured me that they could walk in aztec hotel middle of aztec hotel road without trouble, even in slippers, for they had learned how to put their feet down and lift them up without taking in any sand. On a soil so light and porous there is a plentiful harvesting of health and substantial comfort, but not much chance of poetry. 10 In aztec hotel country of Theocritus there was great chance for poetry; not because anybody was taught anything, but because everybody was born in an atmosphere that was a diffused poetry. If this had not been true, aztec hotel poet could not have spread a soft mist of poesy over aztec hotel whole island: no man works that kind of magic unaided; he compounds his potion out of simples culled from aztec hotel fields round him. Theocritus does not disguise aztec hotel rudeness of aztec hotel life he describes; goat-herds and he- <b> <A href="http://www.new-tradition.org"> aztec hotel</A></b> <br> <A
