His Father Taught: RIDERS TO THE SEA, by John Milling- j ton Synge, is the most nearly perfect trapf!- * in one act in modern literature. The very sir pie plot is based not on the traditional confi:: of human wills but on the hopeless struggle.: man against the impersonal but relentless cruei; of the sea. It has taken from Maurya fouroi her six sons, their father, and their father's father.
Photography is a marvellous discovery, a science that has attracted the greatest intellects, an art that excites the most astute minds—and one that can be practiced by any imbecile. . . . Photographic theory can be taught in an hour, the basic technique in a day. But what cannot be taught is the feeling for light. ... It is how light lies on the face that you as artist must capture. Nor can one be taught how to grasp the personality of the sitter. To produce an intimate likeness rather than a banal portrait, the result of mere chance, you must put yourself at once in communion with the sitter, size up his thoughts and his very character.
HARDY, Thomas (1840-1928), English novelist, who portrayed rural life in the fictional locale of "Wessex" in southwestern England. His novels treat country people with respect and humor, and they comment on the human lot with a kind of religious feeling modified by agnostic reasoning. Hardy abandoned fiction in 1896 to publish eight volumes of poetry in addition to The Dynasts, an epic-drama of the Napoleonic Wars, in three parts, 19 acts, and 130 scenes.
Formative Years. Hardy was born in Higher Bockhampton, 2% miles from Dorchester, on June 2, 1840. He was the son of a mason also named Thomas Hardy. When "Tommy" was four, his father taught him to play the violin, and throughout Hardy's boyhood father and son fiddled for country dances.
