CONDENSED CLASSICS QUO VADIS By HENRY 8IRNXISWICI CxtKMtar k fW WlH- Wer Sij Henry ' Blenkle win, to great a name In Poland that he baa born coupled with Co pernicus and Km eluaako aa tht I h r a Polea to whom Americana an moat Indebted, waa born In Opre-i ya In Russian Po-1 land In Hit. He studied phlloaophy J at Waraaw unl veralty and aoon 1 llirwi rda, In company with Helen Uodjeeka and other radical Polee. catabllahed a socialistic com munity In Cali fornia. It waa somewhat like the earlier Brook Farm experiment made by Hawthorne and hla friends. It w no more successful and Slenklewlca re. turned to Poland where he wrote a series of article (or a Waraaw news pnper about his American experiences. Then he turned to novel writing He wrote brilliantly and rapidly, turning with the utmost ease from realistic ploturee of contemporary life to stories of romance and to historical hovela. "Children of the Boll." which he called hla best bonk, la a almpl atory of Polish life which won more favor with hie own countrymen than It did abroad. In the 80s he completed hla tremen dous trilogy. "With Fire and 8word." The Deluge and "Pan Michael." There was an epic quality about these historical novels that made many peO' pie In many lands hall him aa a new Scott or a new Dumae. Hla International reputation, how ever, came with "Quo VadTe," his mas terplece of ancient Roman Ufa. It waa M.-klv translated Into Knailsh and In to nearly every tonitue. Then It passed to the stage, not only In America and England, but also In France and Oer many. Since that success Blenklewlrs had traveled widely, visiting England. France, Italy, Spain, Greece, Africa and the Far East He received the Nobel prist for literature in 1906. From the outbreak of the war to hla death In November, lilt, he devoted himself to the relief of Polish war victims. i (((TDO not know of cer tainty ner name even Lygla or Callloa? They call her Lygla In the house, for she cornea of . the Lyglan nation ; but she has her i own barbarian name Calllna. It Is j a wonderful house that of those Plau- tlusfs. There are many people In It: but It Is as quiet there as In the groves j of Sublacum. For a number of days I did not know that a divinity dwelt In the house. Onee about daybreak I nw her bathing In the garden foun tnln ; and I swear to thee by that foam from which Aphrodite rose, that the rnys of dawn pussed right through her body. I thought that when the sun rose she would vanish before 'me In !he light, as the twilight of morning does. Since then I have seen her twice ; and since then, too, I know not what rest is, I know not what .other desires are, I have no wish to know what the city can give me. I want not women, nor gold, nor Corinthian bronze, nor amber, nor pearls, nor wine, nor feasts j I want only Lygla.'" Thus did Vlniclus, young Roman patrician of the time of Nero, an nounce his love for Lygla, daughter of a king, beautiful hostage from her nation, forgotten In the turmoil of the world empire and brought up as ft Roman girl. Vlniclus was speaking to his uncle Petronlun, known to his own time as Arbiter Elegantlarum, trained In all the art and beauty of Greece, wise, witty, and learned, gayly staking his life In his dally battle of wits with Tlgellinus, who provided for the gross er desires of the tyrant Nero as Pe tronius did for his finer and more artistic ones. It was a time when the conflicting tides of a pagan age, sadly degenerate from the sturdy days of pristine Roman virtues, mingled with those of a new era in the world, only recently herald ed from Judea. In the complicated Ihrrads of the picture of Rome, cap ital of the world, appear the figures of Peter and Paul on their mission of spreading the new religion of Christ; I'oppaea, wife of Nero, beautiful as a dream, but wicked as a nightmare; Eunice, the charming slave of Petro nlus; Chllo, wily Greek who can be Christian or pagan as profit leads him ; Ursus, prodigious In his strength, Blm pie as a child In his faith In Christ and his devotion to Lygla (from whom ). B. S. may have drawn a sugges tion In "Androcles and the Lion"), and many minor folk who help to make the story stand out as unusually human among the numerous tales of Greco toman times. , When Vlniclus told his uncle Petro nlus of his passion for Lygla, the lat ter thought nothing was easier than to provide his nephew with what he regarded as a new plaything; a word to Nero, who as emperor had all hos tages In his care summon the maiden to the palace, hand her over to the young patrician as her guardian what more could be needed to satisfy any one's desires, especially as the maiden manifestly was pleased with Vlniclus? But Pctronlus and his nephew reck oned without a new force that had en tered into this Roman world. They could not iumIitxIiuhI a cjrl who flitl from Norn's court snd all Its niuciiHI feno, tied even from the luvvr whom lie loved. Hut "llnnlly he understood this, which he and Prlronlus hud n.it understood. Hint I he new n lllon, i n grafted Into the amil aoiiiotlilns un known to that world In which hp lived, and that Lygla, even If she lovi d hint, would nut MicrlBce any of her Chrla tlnn truths for his sake, and that, If pleasure rxliled for her, It wus pleasure different altogether from Urn! which he and IVIMiilim and Caesar's court, and all Homo were pursuing Kvery other woman whom he knew might become his mistress, but that Christian, would only become hla vic tim. And when he thought uf this, he felt W'gcr and burning pain, for he felt lliat his anger wis powerless. To carry off Lyglu seemed to him pos.l He; he was even ure that he could do so, but he was equally Mire, that, In view of her religion, ko himself, with his bravery, was nothing, Unit hla pow er "lis nnthlug, and that throiiiili It ho could effect noihlni!. That Hoinau mjlltury tribune, convinced that the power of tht sword mid Hie list, which hail conquered the world, would com mand It forever, suld for the Brat time In his life that bryoud that power there might be something elae; hence he asked himself with anmaement what It was." It Is a definite and concrete way that the author has chosen to show the power of the new religion over human lives. Struggle as he would, backed by blrili, by wealth mid all lb beauty, chnriii mid allurements Hint wealth could bring, by the Ingenuity ami wit of Petrmiliia, by Ibe strong-arm meth ods of Croton, champion hrulser of bis time, even by the force of the known world In Nero's sway, Vlniclus could accomplish nothing If all he could win to himself was mere un willing body, while soul mid spirit were beyond his grasp. Ami Ibe mad dening part to him was that he owed all his troubles to the teachings of I parcel of Jewish fishermen or their likes, or slaves or humble folk who bad never before entered Into Rprlnus consideration In the thoughts of pa trician like himself. II was a long strnteli) wlih him, and lis Ibe nnder follows the various people of the atorj through their purl In the action, he gets an admirable plclure. of Home Nero, tyrant, actor and artist, with all his mntiilrWnre and nil his debauch eries; the poor and humble In their crowded quarters of the great, city; the delight of nil the "ensea in .the life led by I'eimnlus; the lawless streets of Koine by night ; the pursuit of Lygla by Vlniclus and his hirelings result ing In the death of his professional bruiser Croton at the hunds of the faithful I'rsus, and the disaster to Vlniclus which led to his nursing hack to health by the Christinas; his meet ing wllh I'eter and Paul; tht gradual opening of his eyes, physical and spir itual; his discovery of Christians everywhere, among the people, among his own slaves, among soldiers and offi cers, even In the very court of Nm ml th .
