question. As far as I can see, there's
not much question about it.
It's
simply up to the man himself.
If he really wants to get married
under the good old system, all he
needs is some money and social posi
tion to ask for any girl's hand. That's

system, all he need is a girl, love, a
' jittle cash and plenty of guts. Either
way he'll soon find his questions
answered.

sympathy, her ambition, that stirred dreams time ago.
TN his frustration, he sank back to that attitude—an escape-—which he would not
admit as escape to himself. Why go afield
where he was not needed? It was an estab
lished fact. He was a Japanese, and his field
of practice was restricted to the Japanese
community.
His own people had no faith
in him.
He was called for measles and
diptheria, but for complicated cases like
malignant tumors and heart ailments, he
would be cast aside for the services of the
Occidental doctors.
And he had to think of Shizuka his
fiancee.
He knocked on the door of the office and
entered. ■ Dr. Thurston stood with his back
toward him, his eyes looking out into the
street. Without turning, he said, “Sit down,
Dr. Sekine.”
Tadao sat down.
Slowly, Dr.' Thurston turned round, took
a pipe out of his coat pocket, and lit it.
Then in that Scotch burr beloved of all who
came in contact with him, he said.VTve been

Has’nt it ever occurcd to
you to become a surgeon?”
Tadao did not answer.
Dr. Thurston
went on softly, “I hear that when your
interneship here is completed, you're going
to open up a practice as a physician.”
“Yes, sir.”
Son, I watched you this afternoon on
that emergency case.
Boy, you did a neat,
clean job.”
Tadao made a motion as if in protest, but
the older man went on.
“A born surgeon is rare---- you’ve the mak
ings of one, and I hate to see it wasted.
There's a position which ...”
Sir, I ve decided to go into partnership
with Dr. Matsumoto. ” Tadao flung this at
the older man, his face pale.
“Er . . . your fiancee's father, isn't it?”
There seemed a note of accusation---- or was
it contempt—in Dr. Thurston's question.
Tadao felt it.
However, he replied in the
affirmative.
After what seemed a long silence, the
specialist said, placing a hand affectionately
on Tadao’s shoulder, “Son, I was to have
performed that operation on Chiyo this
afternoon.”
All the pent-up emotion in the younger
man's heart burst forth in old wild, broken
cry.
“Then, in God’s name, why didn't you
do it?
You could have saved here . . .
and I . . . I killed here ...”
“Steady, son. She didn’t want me to.”
“Didn't want you to?” Tadao was in

“No. son.
She asked that you perform
that operation. She believed in you. son.”
“And I killed her.” His face fell into his
hands.
“Son, the depths of a woman's sacrifice,
at times, is hard to understand. I think she
knew that she was taking her life in her
hands.but she wanted it that way. She said,
'Dr. Sekine has the hands of a surgeon . . .
hands made for healing' ...”
Tadao, listening from the depth of his
heartache, suddenly saw himself as he really
was. It seemed as if the veil had been rent
from his eyes. His old mother, who used to
embarrass him at times with her child-like
faith in his slim fingers, working her own
into knots that his might be saved: Chiyo,
gambling her young life that be might keep

“Aye, that I will, lad,” said the old man

Poetry is Experience
T)OETRY, like music, like painting, like
sculpture, is experience.
Words neither
imprison nor explain it.
It is as different
from prose as singing is from talking: or
dancing from walking. It is a deep joy that
fills us with harmony. It is joy at the high
est of joy. and despair made into joy. It is
the flower and the praise of the flower, and
thankfulness to God. It is grief transmuted
into vision, where self has risen out of self.
It is the tune of birds, and the wild scent of
briar and blackberry, all put into words, all
blending in completeness. It is completeness.
It is truth springing eternal.
It is the re

Robert Nathan, said to me in an interview
only a few months ago, “After all, if poetry
cannot be learned and remembered, what
earthly good is it?
He would, he added,
rather write a stanza school children would
recite with pleasure than all the puzzling
verses the iconoclasts had produced in the
past 20 years.
Some one in a restaurant in Florence, three
years ago, quoted dreamily, from Rupert
Brooke, “If I should die, think only this of
me:” and the young Italian with whom 1
was dining, continued:
That there’s some corner of a foreign
field
That is forever England . . .
Poetry is experience for both writer and
reader. Who, having stumbled by the way
side, is not strengthened and refreshed by re
calling Browning’s nerse:
But what if I fail of my purpose here?
It is but to keep the nerves at strain.
To dry one’s eyes and laugh at a fall,
And baffled, get up and begin again . . .
During four centuries, the English-speak
ing world has enjoyed recalling, on a sum
mer's day, the words that flowered along the
shores of Avon:
I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
and in modern times the tongue has learned
to shape itself with spring to the song of Sir
William Watson:
April, April,
Laugh thy girlish laughter;
Then, the moment after,
Weep thy girlish tears!

touch!” That was in Tokyo.
“And oh. Darling, be sure to wash your
hands of that horrible hospital smell.” With
that she breezed out of the room.
Sekine gazed at Chiyo’s cold face, and in
his ears roared a torrent and he felt himself
being swept away into a labyrinth of darkness
and shadow, and felt a clutch of invisible
fingers stifling the light and the dreams that
had existed up, to a few weeks, even a few
days, even to a few short minutes ago.

God!
He hadn’t wanted to operate!
‘"Dr. Sekine, Dr. Thurston would like to
see you in his office right away,” said a
probie, popping her head in at the door.

the long corridor to the office. He would

her direct gaze, her steadfastness, her ready her through with his eyes closed—a long
sympathy, her ambition, that stirred dreams time ago.
TN his frustration, he sank back to that attitude—an escape-—which he would not
admit as escape to himself. Why go afield
where he was not needed? It was an estab
lished fact. He was a Japanese, and his field
of practice was restricted to the Japanese
community.
His own people had no faith
in him.
He was called for measles and
diptheria, but for complicated cases like
malignant tumors and heart ailments, he
would be cast aside for the services of the
Occidental doctors.
And he had to think of Shizuka his
fiancee.
He knocked on the door of the office and
entered. ■ Dr. Thurston stood with his back
toward him, his eyes looking out into the
street. Without turning, he said, “Sit down,
Dr. Sekine.”
Tadao sat down.
Slowly, Dr.' Thurston turned round, took
a pipe out of his coat pocket, and lit it.
Then in that Scotch burr beloved of all who
came in contact with him, he said.VTve been
watching you.
Has’nt it ever occurcd to
you to become a surgeon?”
Tadao did not answer.
Dr. Thurston
went on softly, “I hear that when your
interneship here is completed, you're going
to open up a practice as a physician.”
“Yes, sir.”
Son, I watched you this afternoon on
that emergency case.
Boy, you did a neat,
clean job.”
Tadao made a motion as if in protest, but
the older man went on.
“A born surgeon is rare---- you’ve the mak
ings of one, and I hate to see it wasted.
There's a position which ...”
Sir, I ve decided to go into partnership
with Dr. Matsumoto. ” Tadao flung this at
the older man, his face pale.
“Er . . . your fiancee's father, isn't it?”
There seemed a note of accusation---- or was
it contempt—in Dr. Thurston's question.
Tadao felt it.
However, he replied in the
affirmative.
After what seemed a long silence, the
specialist said, placing a hand affectionately
on Tadao’s shoulder, “Son, I was to have
performed that operation on Chiyo this
afternoon.”
All the pent-up emotion in the younger
man's heart burst forth in old wild, broken
cry.
“Then, in God’s name, why didn't you
do it?
You could have saved here . . .
and I . . . I killed here ...”
“Steady, son. She didn’t want me to.”
“Didn't want you to?” Tadao was in
credulous.
“No. son.
She asked that you perform
that operation. She believed in you. son.”
“And I killed her.” His face fell into his
hands.
“Son, the depths of a woman's sacrifice,
at times, is hard to understand. I think she
knew that she was taking her life in her
hands.but she wanted it that way. She said,
'Dr. Sekine has the hands of a surgeon . . .
hands made for healing' ...”
Tadao, listening from the depth of his
heartache, suddenly saw himself as he really
was. It seemed as if the veil had been rent
from his eyes. His old mother, who used to
embarrass him at times with her child-like
faith in his slim fingers, working her own
into knots that his might be saved: Chiyo,
gambling her young life that be might keep
his for service---- and now Dr. Thurston, too

“Aye, that I will, lad,” said the old man
gently.

Poetry is Experience
T)OETRY, like music, like painting, like
sculpture, is experience.
Words neither
imprison nor explain it.
It is as different
from prose as singing is from talking: or
dancing from walking. It is a deep joy that
fills us with harmony. It is joy at the high
est of joy. and despair made into joy. It is
the flower and the praise of the flower, and
thankfulness to God. It is grief transmuted
into vision, where self has risen out of self.
It is the tune of birds, and the wild scent of
briar and blackberry, all put into words, all
blending in completeness. It is completeness.
It is truth springing eternal.
It is the re
curring of beauty in the mind. '

Robert Nathan, said to me in an interview
only a few months ago, “After all, if poetry
cannot be learned and remembered, what
earthly good is it?
He would, he added,
rather write a stanza school children would
recite with pleasure than all the puzzling
verses the iconoclasts had produced in the
past 20 years.
Some one in a restaurant in Florence, three
years ago, quoted dreamily, from Rupert
Brooke, “If I should die, think only this of
me:” and the young Italian with whom 1
was dining, continued:
That there’s some corner of a foreign
field
That is forever England . . .
Poetry is experience for both writer and
reader. Who, having stumbled by the way
side, is not strengthened and refreshed by re
calling Browning’s nerse:
But what if I fail of my purpose here?
It is but to keep the nerves at strain.
To dry one’s eyes and laugh at a fall,
And baffled, get up and begin again . . .
During four centuries, the English-speak
ing world has enjoyed recalling, on a sum
mer's day, the words that flowered along the
shores of Avon:
I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
and in modern times the tongue has learned
to shape itself with spring to the song of Sir
William Watson:
April, April,
Laugh thy girlish laughter;
Then, the moment after,
Weep thy girlish tears!

Monitor.)
