People may laugh at M. Marinetti; but if they will take the trouble to consider his theories without prejudice – it is very stupid to have literary [360] prejudices – they might profit; and the beginning of the poetic art that is to fit in with the future mind, modified by machinery, might be made. Without going so far as M. Marinetti, we may ask ourselves what is the use, for instance, of logical syntax in poetry? Why we should have so absolute a respect for the integrity of words? Whether poetry will not finally develop into a series of emotional ejaculations, cunningly modulated, and coloured by a swift play of subtle and far-reaching analogies? Are we not really spellbound by the past, and is the Georgian Anthology really an expression of this age? I doubt it. I doubt whether English poets are really alive to what is around them. And, to betray myself completely, whether, perhaps, it is worth while being so alive. It is a question to consider and thresh out. There are so many old emotions to which we cling that it is legitimate to pause before we set out to transform ourselves into the fiends M. Marinetti would have us be, although it may be admirable to be a fiend.

 

*       *       *       *       *

 

But the French poet most confident of the future is M. Henri-Martin Barzun, the editor of Poème et Drame, in the May number of which he has published an art poétique d'un idéal nouveau. He is not, he says, founding a new school, but is formulating the æsthetic of a new era, the "era of drama." According to M. Barzun, the lineal, monodic, consecutive poetry of the past is doomed. It is impotent to express the multifarious life of our globe, and, whether neo-classic or vers libriste, its form is effete and inadequate. To take its place, M. Barzun has invented the simultaneous dramatic poem. The vers libre was a reform in length; the simultaneous poem will be a reform in depth. Like the chords in music, the voices of the world heard by the poet all around him and combined by poetic inspiration will be harmonised on a scale of verbal tones; the effects of rhyme, assonance, alliteration, echo, and other embellishments used in the symbolist æsthetic, will be heard and felt up and down the scale during the progress of the poem; and as the trained listener hears a symphony and disengages the different instruments and motives, so the voices in the simultaneous poem will be heard together as harmony and understood separately as sense; the listener must train himself to this; the printed poem will have the same value as the musical score. The whole poem will be a dramatic expression of the life of this planet, quintessentialised by the genius of the poet. Such, it seems to me, is the main outline of what M. Barzun proposes to do; but [361] until he has published his new book, L'Universel Poème, orphéide, en VII épisodes (voix, rythmes, et chants simultanés), it will be impossible to say how far he can carry his ideas into practice. If their realisation is possible, then poetry will become an art as rich as music, and still more complex, since, in addition to sound and emotion, it will deal with thought. It will also become, like music, an art requiring performers, or, for private enjoyment, a gramophone record: few will ever, I imagine, learn to read and enjoy the "score." But for a complete statement of M. Barzun's æsthetic, you must consult his essay, which, though confused and turbulent, is full of ingenious remarks.
