...people then. Last week Johnson, the 36th President of the U.S., took his own leave of a nation disenchanted with a far-off war and deeply perturbed by its myriad problems at home. His apologia was not abject like Grant's, but his peroration contained a latter-day echo of it. "I hope it may be said a hundred years from now," Johnson told the Congress, "that by working together we helped to make our country more just. That's what I hope.

Consciously poetic, nostalgic, and detached, his most recent poems in the New Yorker echo the simplicity and sensitivity of the poems for which he won the Pulitzer Prize in 1957, and the National Book Award for Things of This World. The quiet titles of the New Yorker poems. "In the Field" and "in a Churchyard," recall two other poems from 1947, "In a Bird Sanctuary" and "A Dutch Courtyard...
