Swifter than light the Imagination travels In an Instant of time to the outermost star of our universe and returns as quickly as It went. It defies time and annihilates space. It disregards probability and over looks all laws. it has pioneered every progress that man has made since the world began and multiplied his happiness aud his Ills alike. It Is one function which man pos sesses which he does not share with forms of life lower than himself. There are many animals who give proof of having the power of thought, even of reason. There Is not one that has ever shown the slightest evidence of be ing able to Imagine anything outside of something It has already experi enced. • • • SAT the other day In the studio of a great artist and watched him as he made ready to begin a picture. As he placed the canvas upon the easel I asked him what he was to paint. The answer that he made to me was so vivid and so strikingly told that 1 almost seemed to see upon the blank canvas the finished work. But I knew what I saw was only a dim counterpart of the thing that be saw, for In his Imagination the whole picture was as plain In Its form and as distinct In its colors. In Its then mental existence, us It was later to be to thousands of admiring eyes. • * * 1 ISCOVEUT of the fact that the word “ tragedy" Is a compound of two Greek words meaning “ goat" and "song,” and that a literal translatiou of the original term would be “ a song of the goat,” throws but little light upon the modern use of the word, until one exumtnes the custom In vogue In ancient Greece, particularly in connec tion with the production of tragedies. Here, though, we find that the goat played a central role in these entertainments. Not only was one of the animals offered as a prize for the best perform ance by the actors but, because the goat Is very partial to eat ing grape-vines, and therefore an enemy of Bacchus— the pa- gun god of w ine In whose honor the festivals were held— one of them was sacritit'ed at each pro duction of a tragedy. Further to carry out the simile, the ac tors were dressed for tlie most part In goat skins, because many of them posed as mar tyrs, u custom from which we obtain our word "satirical." The singing of a solemn, melancholic song was the signal for the sac rifice of the goat, and it is be cause of this connection that we apply the word "tragedy” to something which Is extremely sad, whether on the stnge or in everyday life. D | This world would be a sad and desolate pluc* without Imagination. Art would falter uud science would dry up and blow away. Imagination Is the real mother of accomplish ment.
