...gardens of Dedham. Mass., lay under eight inches of snow last week, and tillers of the soil in Lake Forest, 111., boarded their commuter trains in a below-zero blast off Lake Michigan. From South Carolina to Northern California, flowerbeds were bare, ruined choirs, strawberry patches frozen stiff as a Birds Eye package. But beside a million open fires and upturned thermostats roses bloomed, shrubs sprang into leaf, fruit trees and tomato vines burgeoned with succulence. It is Catalogue Time...

His language is bare, strong, lucid, manly: perhaps the most intensely concentrated prose ever written in English. In energy he is the last Elizabethan; not even Shakespeare's Lear surpasses the vigor of Swift's invective or the reach of his rage. In conscience he is the first Victorian; not until Dickens...
