With

,
THAYER
DARCY
.
Even
Amory
's
reading
paled
during
this
period
;
he
delved
further
into
the
misty
side
streets
of
literature
:
Huysmans
,
Walter
Pater
,
Theophile
Gautier
,
and
the
racier
sections
of
Rabelais
,
Boccaccio
,
Petronius
,
and
Suetonius
.
One
week
,
through
general
curiosity
,
he
inspected
the
private
libraries
of
his
classmates
and
found
Sloane
's
as
typical
as
any
:
sets
of
Kipling
,
O.
Henry
,
John
Fox
,
Jr.
,
and
Richard
Harding
Davis
;
"
What
Every
Middle-Aged
Woman
Ought
to
Know
,
"
"
The
Spell
of
the
Yukon
"
;
a
"
gift
"
copy
of
James
Whitcomb
Riley
,
an
assortment
of
battered
,
annotated
schoolbooks
,
and
,
finally
,
to
his
surprise
,
one
of
his
own
late
discoveries
,
the
collected
poems
of
Rupert
Brooke
.
Together
with
Tom
D'Invilliers
,
he
sought
among
the
lights
of
Princeton
for
some
one
who
might
found
the
Great
American
Poetic
Tradition
.
The
undergraduate
body
itself
was
rather
more
interesting
that
year
than
had
been
the
entirely
Philistine
Princeton
of
two
years
before
.
Things
had
livened
surprisingly
,
though
at
the
sacrifice
of
much
of
the
spontaneous
charm
of
freshman
year
.
In
the
old
Princeton
they
would
never
have
discovered
Tanaduke
Wylie
.
Tanaduke
was
a
sophomore
,
with
tremendous
ears
and
a
way
of
saying
,
"
The
earth
swirls
down
through
the
ominous
moons
of
preconsidered
generations
!
"
that
made
them
vaguely
wonder
why
it
did
not
sound
quite
clear
,
but
never
question
that
it
was
the
utterance
of
a
supersoul
.
At
least
so
Tom
and
Amory
took
him
.
They
told
him
in
all
earnestness
that
he
had
a
mind
like
Shelley
's
,
and
featured
his
ultrafree
free
verse
and
prose
poetry
in
the
Nassau
Literary
Magazine
.
But
Tanaduke
's
genius
absorbed
the
many
colors
of
the
age
,
and
he
took
to
the
Bohemian
life
,
to
their
great
disappointment
.
He
talked
of
Greenwich
Village
now
instead
of
"
noon-swirled
moons
,
"
and
met
winter
muses
,
unacademic
,
and
cloistered
by
Forty-second
Street
and
Broadway
,
instead
of
the
Shelleyan
dream-children
with
whom
he
had
regaled
their
expectant
appreciation
.
So
they
surrendered
Tanaduke
to
the
futurists
,
deciding
that
he
and
his
flaming
ties
would
do
better
there
.
Tom
gave
him
the
final
advice
that
he
should
stop
writing
for
two
years
and
read
the
complete
works
of
Alexander
Pope
four
times
,
but
on
Amory
's
suggestion
that
Pope
for
Tanaduke
was
like
foot-ease
for
stomach
trouble
,
they
withdrew
in
laughter
,
and
called
it
a
coin
's
toss
whether
this
genius
was
too
big
or
too
petty
for
them
.
Amory
rather
scornfully
avoided
the
popular
professors
who
dispensed
easy
epigrams
and
thimblefuls
of
Chartreuse
to
groups
of
admirers
every
night
.
He
was
disappointed
,
too
,
at
the
air
of
general
uncertainty
on
every
subject
that
seemed
linked
with
the
pedantic
temperament
;
his
opinions
took
shape
in
a
miniature
satire
called
"
In
a
Lecture-Room
,
"
which
he
persuaded
Tom
to
print
in
the
Nassau
Lit
.
