Excerpt from Selected Poems and Ballads of Paul Fort Paul Fort has likened himself to Shelley. His lyrical gift is so pure and strong that the comparison seems neither arrogant nor absurd. But his difference from Shelley is more important than any kinship: he is at home not only in the world but in the universe. No essential conflicts rend the harmony or darken the lucidity of his soul. Nor has he had to win this peace. It has always been his; he has always known it, as he declares all things must be known - by heart. To Paul Fort life and the world are a beautiful and eternal pageant of rivers and stars and fields, of people and of things made with hands. And the passions that have moved this pageant are, to his vision, an integral part of it, but one that he perceives pictorially and in which he sees pictorial and poetic values wherewith to feed his unending interest in gesture and color and form. He is not oblivious of pain nor of ugliness. But he has let all things flow through his refashioning soul and found them good. He is the blithest and most limpid of poets. Yet he constantly escapes the danger of shallowness by virtue of a pagan earnestness at the root of his delight, a harmony with the great procession of appearances, a deep and instinctive union with the sun's warmth, the star's glitter, the flight of birds, the tread of wayfarers, the splendor of antique raiment. "All nature," he says, "is on the threshold of my heart." "The earth and the sun are but one fatherland." "I would caress nature with my fingers as though she were an instrument that answers to my dream." This is perhaps, as I started by saying, the central point of Paul Forts creative psychology: the universe answers his dream. Joy is his chief note. If ever he loses joy he is astonished as a child might be astonished or a faun. His habitual mood is one of a glad, swift swimmer whose strong limbs flash through the seas and rivers of the world. "Quickly the goal I'd reach, softly descend the breeze. My laughter I would teach to the Eumenides." He is indeed the "gay sprite of cosmic fire no curb restrains."
