...could make the familiar small change of language chink and chime into high melody. His verse often seemed as easy to read as McGuffey's Reader, but it contained universalities that obscure symbolists rarely attempt. In a time when despair is popular. Frost was grimly, gallantly optimistic. He saw man as a rider, "Mounted bareback on the earth ... his small fist buried in the bushy hide": But though it runs unbridled...
...Bandung conference. Nehru and China's Premier Chou En-lai embraced Panch Shila, a five-point formula for peaceful coexistence. The same Indian crowds that now shout.

Agilulf, the Nonexistent Knight, is so perfect a knight that his body has turned entirely to armor. He cannot be wounded in battle, scorns his fellow knights who must care for their flesh. But he often longs for a mortal body. His armor is "pierced through every chink by gusts of wind, flights of mosquitoes, and the rays of the moon." For other knights love is spiritual by choice; Agilulf has no choice. When a maiden he has rescued invites him to bed, poor metallic Agilulf hems and haws, makes and remakes the bed, finally finds a knightly excuse...
