Novalis, who in reality died of sheer nostalgia because he was not born a Greek, has been said to have been the victim of a mal de siecle, and the four undergraduates in question, who probably...

Shirley Challoner, a blessing, would never have writ ten this book. Authoress Colby is sometimes tiresome, sometimes embarrassing, yet she created Shirley Challoner and the "green forest." The whole point of the book is to delight people who can understand that "Debussy is the wettest music ?passion done in silver point," and similar subtle apperceptions. Yet between subtlety and forced fancy even "understanding" readers will detect many a disheartening difference. The girl's face "banged...
