ITS PLEA*
Divine Silence! Infinitely stronger
Than all Voices; Guard thou th’ insensates’
Brows, ’til an exultant Light gleams firmer
O’er the World, as true sense of Love pulsates;
And with constant Fire fuse, yet, bid it smolder,
When jangling Beat of Man’s dull groans are bolder
Lurid with a mistaken Grasp of things, t’ answer
T’ evil, when but chaste is seen to flutter!
As Heaven guards for each an ideal Sole,
So hushed, that e’en unrush of emotion
Sweet, dares to mar not its lustreful Soul:
For at the poise of potent Transition, . . .
Behold!—Th’ Idol as in a dim Twilight,
Beck’ning, to fold t’our hearts th’ Eternal Might!
Velida.
OUR ILLUSTRATIONS
THE first three Plates in this Number of CameraWork are devoted to
photography proper. The other ten plates are devoted to the cari-
catures, relative and absolute, of Marius De Zayas, a name already
familiar to the readers of this publication.
Plates I and II, “New York at Night,” by Paul B. Haviland, are photo-
graphs made directly from Mr. Haviland’s original negatives. Plate III,
“Landscape,” by Frederick H. Pratt, Worcester, Mass., is a photogravure
made directly from the original negative. This photograph was made about
fourteen years ago. In a future Number of Camera Work several more
of Mr. Pratt’s pictures will be published.
The De Zayas caricatures, a study of the motives of which is printed
elsewhere in these pages, are photogravure reproductions made from the De
Zayas charcoal originals, the sizes of which are 20 x 25 inches. The original
caricatures were on exhibition at “291” during March and April, 1913. In
the reproduction some of the quality of De Zayas’s work has been necessarily
lost, nevertheless its spirit has been fully preserved.
All the photogravures in this Number of Camera Work were made by
the Manhattan Photogravure Company, of New York.
