"WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE The Personal Obscurity of the Bard of Avon .Considered Hi Bold ' ; Borrowings. . THE EMBODIMEHT OF SPONTANEITY His General ' Appreciation in America ' "Shakespearean Clubs That Have ' Wide Eeputations. rEW To Oet. 16. One of the" most extraordinary things about the most x--. 'traordinary man, William Shakespeare, is that, wonderful as his genius is, overshadowing as his reputation, we know next to nothing of him per-sonally. We are even ignorant of the date of his birth; but the tradition is that he was born on tho day of the month on which he died April 23 and that it is three hundred and twenty-si- x , years since that event.; It would not be so strange if the poet had failed of ap-preciation during his life, and his great-ness had been discovered by posterity. But he was regarded as the first drama-- tist of his own time, not by critics alone, who are generally above their contempo-raries, but by the people1 who flocked to see and enjoy his plays. Not until nearly a century after his "eath was there any regular collection or editing of his works; but since then he has been edited, corrected and inter-preted as no other mortal has ever been. That there has been anything intelligi-ble left of him is the best evidence of his marvelous power and significance. Despite almost two hundred years of in-cessant investigation of everything even remotely connected with him, the mys-tery of Shakespeare, the man, is not a whit abated. Not' a line of his manu-script is extant beyond four of his signa-tures, all of which are sacredly preserved in London, and which will bo rernem- - ' tered by most Americans of culture and travel. Even the spelling of his name is in doubt his blind signature does not remove it but he himself, as well as his friend Bon Jonson, appears to have writ-ten it Shakespeare when they printed it. In his day men wrote their names vari-ously. He sometimes wrote his surname Shakspere, und his contemporaries spelled it in a dozen different ways. What claim to be portraits of him are familiar to everybody, but the bulk of these are copies of the Chaudos picture, which, has no relation to the original. The ofily representations that can lay claim to authenticity are the well known bust at Stratford and the Droeshout en-graving. They are both very hard and ; stiff, not answering at all to our ideal of the poet, but they have a striking sim- - ilitude, which justifies their claim. They who have studied Shakespeare have a feeling and a half belief that he was singularly handsome and distinguished. :,If we'could Eee hiin as ho was in the 'flesh we should doubtless find that he ment and becoming nnrivaled Art. The thought of criticism never oc-curred to him he wrote as he felt; was completely untrammeled, undisturbed, regardless of precedents, being a prec-edent and a law to and for himself. To this peculiarity have been ascribed the grandeur and glory of his diction, full of technical faults of nearly every kind, and yet so fresh, so apt, so eloqnent, so origi- nal as to be beyond compare. He is at once unique and inimitable. Study him as you will, you cannot reproduce him. Labor at hia secret as you may, you shall never master it, or even approach it. Among the countless host of poets there is but one Shakespeare, He shines like the sun, and is the center which gives light to others, about which others revolve. Any schoolboy may point out his blemishes; the sun has its spots, but still it is the sun. I . Unlike most great authors, unlike Homer or Dante or Moliere, he is not simple. His sty le is a rich mosaic, made up of precious stones and rare fragments, gathered from every land and age, and arranged with infinite variety by his own incomprehensible cunning. He is the intellectual wizard of the world, the magician of thought, the sovereign en-chanter of expression. The fact that Shakespeare has taken almost all his plots from the sources whence he got his plays has induced many to believe him deficient in con-structive imagination. But this is an unfair inference. He was evidently dis-inclined to form a plot when he could find one ready made, just as he fre-quently adopted the exact phraseology of other authors rather than frame his own lines from his limitless equipment. He did not care to take any needless trouble; he was, again let it be said, thoroughly and continually practical in spite of hisunreckoned wealth of poetry. To put it plainly, he was bent on mak-ing money at the Blackfriars theatre, and on making it in the easiest way. He felt more concern for direct pecun-iary success than for any reputation which his writings might yield. Had , he required plot3 there is Bmall doubt that he could and would have drawn them in abundance from his inward supp-ly-" - . . But his transcendent excellence is in his Creation of character kings and clowns, philosophers and simpletons, dreamers and men of action, women devilish and angelic, courtiers and fai-ries, priests and cynics, wits and witches, beings of earth and air a numberless, crew, but all individual, distinct, defi-nite, as if evolved from nature. No other poet has revealed a tithe of his omnipotence in this respfict, and he has made every one of them memorable and unforgetable. Thousands of years hence Hamlet, Timon, Benedick, Portia, Shy-loc-k, Desdomona, Brutus, Cleopatra, Othello, Lear, Cordelia, Macbeth, Rosa-lind, Falstaff, Imogen, Cassius, Viola, Dogberry, Cressida, will be as fresh and human as they are today; as they were when the ink was not yet dry that gave them birth. One might almost say that, if this planet should b? lost, types of its inhabitants might be reproduced from Shakespeare's models. They are more human than humanity, and yet more ideal than our ideas of them. 1 The controversy still goes on over the question whether the dramatist was a man of much or little culture. He ap-pears to have known all that was worth knowing from ,opks7 and .observation and imagination, and,"above aught else, from tho clairvoyance of universal gen-ius. Is riaturo educated? sounds much like the queries concerning Shakespeare's degree of culture. , It is not strange that the obscuration of his personality should incite specula-tors to the denial of his identity, to the affirmation that he was only a name; that his play were written by another or by others. This view, instead of lessening, merely augments the mys-tery. We can understand how the mas-ter dramatist might hide his private self from the world, but that Shakespeare could be somebody else passes credence. The poet of poets is so 6inewy, so uni-versal, so ideal, so inexhaustible as to put all who understand him into closest relation with him, and make them think thai they have got at the secret of his power and influence. He is not a whit classic; heis romantic, Teutonic, Gothic, above and free from all rulo, despising ' convention, challenging precedent. To the Latin mind he makes no general ap-peal; he belongs especially to the Teu-tonic family, and is the rarest heritage of tho English speaking race, we Americans appreciating him far more, in the mass, than our British kinsmen. The Germans feel that he is especially related to them; that his genius is their property, though he chanced to be born on foreign soiL They never tire of writing about him; they are veritable Shakespeariacs. They are convinced that they have interpreted him to us; that his inmost spirit is open to them aione. Although transcendental and overdrawn they have brought limit-less learning and ingenuity to his elucida-tion, and the world of serious thought is eternally indebted to them. He antici-pated the America of today, and is in-deed more American than English in combining the highest idealism and the greatest practicability. . Iu this country we are, in a way, brought up on him, and our love of him grows with our years. First and last, he is a poet, but common sense forms his base. He is truly English in mak-ing his dramas wholly subservient to earning money. He wrote Lear, Ham-let, Henry IV, Othello, not from passion for literature, but from ineradicable de-sire to return to Stratford, to reinstate himself there, and to write "gentleman" after his name. Everlasting fame was nothing compared with his dearest wish to be, English like, respectable and com-fortable. But in range and insight he was the Jesus of the intellectual world. Junius Henri Bkownk. looked very unlike the man ought to look who bad created Hamlet, Othello, Lear. Emiiient characters very seldom bear the appearance we ascribe to them. ; Alcibiades, Aspasia, JuliuS Uirjsar, Cleo-patra must have been very different in form and feature from what we fancy them. ' The facts of Shakespeare's life are poor "and few that lio was born at Stratford; , married at 18, for urgent reasons, Anne Hathaway, eight years his senior; had ' three children, one son and two daugh-ters; that he went to London to bettor his fortunes; became an actor and a dramatist; succeeded; returned to his native place; died in a few years, and was buried there. What a meager rec- - ord this for the mighty master, whose name is immortal, whose fame, beyond that of all others, tils every part of civili-zation! As we detect almost nothing of his personality in his plays in this he was supremely dramatic so he lnan- - ' aged to hido his personality from the world. He must have considered life a drama. ' He certainly treated it object-ively. All the indications are that he had no concern for his plays after they had served him in.the theatre. There is etery reason to believe that he had no handintheirpnblication; that they often ...appeared without his consent, even with-out his knowledge. , "Yet he does not ap- - pear to have been wholly indifferent to fame, for he seems to have looked afte tho printing of "Venus and Adonis" and; VLncreco," as woll as his sonnets. Remarkable as these are, or would be were, they by anybody elso,. they are cheap and commonplace compared with liis matchless dramas. This strange apparent want' of dis-crimination,' of literary judgment, has been accounted for by his editors and commentators on the ground that during the Sixteenth and early in the Seven-teenth century plays and players were held in no esteem, while poems proper were very differently regarded. But this fact hardly explains so incompre-hensible neglect. Notwithstanding all that has been said to the contrary, geuius is, and must be, self recognizing; nnd why should the greatest genius of all time fail to appreciate work that had never, been equaled? Tho question is hard to' answer. The necessary infer-ence is that he was either consciously capabW, or?.bcliiived himself capable, of so much higher achievements that what he had achieved seemed of small conse-quence". "And this theory gives us a more exalted idea of his genius than do the imperishable monuments he has left us. It makes the rpind giddy to contemplate the possflbirities of his performance, if he felt that he could afford to forego the prodigious, deathless reputation which his dramas must certainly secure him. All that is known of Shakespeare's method of composition sustains this view. He seems to have been spontaneity itself, dashing off his marvelous lines at white heat of inspiration, which melted thought, imagination, learning and ob-servation into a stream of vital, pictur-esque, pregnant, enduring language such M never before flowed from human pen. Hs appears never to have altered, cor-rected, recast or reconsidered. His brain was a divine, exhanstless fountain, which ran with ink through his ever obedient hand into forms of poetry as alluring as indestructible., He was wholly practical, writing scenes and acts for an immediate end, to be spoken, not to be read. He borrowed boldly, defi-antly, often adopting entire passages from novels or other'plays if they saved " time or suited his convenience. Nevert-heless,- he individualized everything, made everything his own, Nature pass-ing through the akmbicof bis tempera-- i SALT LAKE CITY Sights and Scenes in and Around the Inter-Mounta- in Metropolis.
