His ideas are the ideological Christian-pacifist of the early 1900s. Women and the "savage peoples" are the idyll of nature. I felt most of the poems about "savage peoples" were patronizing.

I come to you penniless and afoot, to bring a message. I am starting a new religious idea. The idea does not say "no" to any creed that you have heard. . . . After this, let the denomination to which you now belong be called in your heart "the church of beauty" or "the church of the open sky." . . . The church of beauty has two sides: the love of beauty and the love of God. -- from Vachel Lindsay's GOSPEL OF BEAUTY (jacketless library hardcover) No library descriptions found. |
