N. C. ' ly regarded as the foremost A -1 merican poet since Walt Whit, man, Sandburg is “the poet of ■ the American dream, the mystic | lover of democracy, th® weaver lof intangible emotions into beautiful forms, and yet he was | cnce offered a career as a con -1 sr'i'ing safety engineer by Big I Business.” Lewis reveals. And to. I day Sandburg admits that it took ! scientific efficiency to go through i 2,000 source volumes and classi fy thousands up;n thousands of notes in his Harbert, Michigan, attic studio to bring about his latest literary masterpiece. “In the personality of the man Sandburg are the same contrasts seen in his writings,” Lewis says. “He has a childish love of child ish things and has written rever. entially of prayer, industry, and! obedience. He will sit with friends till dawn, spinning yarns, singing, roaring with laughter. ‘lt’s the hobo streak in me,' he will say. The next time you'see him he will be the cat that walks alone, mystic, aloft, haunted by the fate of man and the role of death and the loneliness of man no matter what may happen after the next war or revolution. “He will go white with anger ever injustice to the helpless, then, will be suddenly philoso phic enough to say, ‘Among the biographers lam a firegrate poet, and among the .poets a good biographer; among singers I’m a good collector of songs and among song collectors a nice judge of pipes.
