POETRY ISK where yon find it! Sandhztrg found it in a copper wire and in the pzdying city of Chicago, Kilnzer, in a tree and a deli- cateften chop, Keatx in a grecian arn and in the lilting tune of a nightingale. One poet called it the ntnfic of the Joztl, another defined it as the tynthefif of hyacinths and hittztits. What it poetry? I don't think anyone can really define it hut through poetry we can vifztalize more fully the Jignijicance of the conzinonplace. For a brief nzonzent it may tahe uf soaring up in the cloztdt, or it may open our eyex to oifionx girt with wonder ,' ,foinething 106,116 loohed at for yearf yet never teen hefore. Whether the inzinortal Shahe- Jpearian :onnetx or the jolting line of Whit- inan, poetry if alive and it if good for thofe who with to he alive! PATRICIA LYNCH ON THE BRIDGE
