BERRYMAN's MOST recent book does not possess the unity necessary for comparision with a work of the magnitude of Dream Songs. At least one of the poems included in Delusions, Etc., "Scholars at the Orchid Pavilon," was begun over 20 years ago.

Almost every institution in Spain-from the army to the church and even Opus Dei itself-is divided between conservative and moderately progressive wings, and on how to deal with increasing signs of unrest. In recent weeks there have been clashes between police and unemployed workers in the poor barrios of Madrid, and demonstrations against rising prices (Spain's inflation rate is 7.8%). Campus...
