By picturing him at evening in the Mer maid Tavern In tiualnt converse with Shakespeare and lien Johnson, Ma caulay mi;;ht have made his picture fairly complete! It was a wonderful era. and per haps only in that "purple, rich. Eliza bethan time," as Vachel Lindsay rails it, could so full and colorful a life have been lived even by a Walter Raleish. Through him our North Carolina history Is linked, as the his tory of no other State Is linked, with the age of chivalry, the days when knighthood was in flower the days, too, of explorers and adventurers and sea-rovers, when "the world's preat age began anew" as all Europe went aflame with Interest in the new-found world beyond the seas, and ncrei.ted with almost equal credence the stories j of the real Virginia and the fabled El Dorado, the real Eather of Wa-1 ters and the imaginary Fountain of! Youth. Into all this in'oxicatins eniliisl- asm, Raleigh entered fully, ai d his i zeal for his North Carolina folony, it! is interesting to remember, was ;it its! height when Zueehcro's painting vn3 tiiiide. and the prospects for the suc r.'ts of that colony were then at their brightest. Four years previously his; ni-.t expedition had landed nt Rna-j nn!;e Island and b'lt a few months! previously, the first Anglo-American had been born in the little colony on the No'-th Carolina coast Virginia Dare, the wee, mystery-shrouded fore runner of till the millions who have since spoken the tongue of Shakes peare niul Milton on this continent, r.nd of all who are to come after us. This tercentenary reminds us. too. or Raleigh the Dreamer; the imui of vision and courage, the rare man "whose heart alike conceives and ; dares," the man who had the courage j to follow the gleam and gave life and ' fortune to his grer.t Idea of winning j both Americas for England and for' Enrtlsh civilization. Well does his' latest biographer declare that Queen Elizabeth's captains were greater than their seoverelgn. and that Ral-' f igh and his fellows "would have con- j quered half the Spanish world and awept the wide waters through their! length and breadth had It not been j for the vacillating and pettlcoated oc cupnnt of the throne." I We must admit, of course, (hat i many of Raleigh's greatest plans j were doomed to failure. Hut we must also say that the heroes who have dard to become failures as a result ; of aspiring too greatly, of attempting ' ine high that proved too hl;;h the heroic for earth too hard" tbey are the subllmcst fi-gures In hu man nmtory and the great world ever turns for Inspiration to their mighty ' names the martyr at the stake the' philosopher with Ms hemlock the!
