...wanderings as in dreams-the meditation of old times resumed - their loves, joys, persons, voyages. . . Now finale to the shore, Now land and life finale and farewell. The music, dictated by Delius note by note to his young friend Eric Fenby, was accepted by Britishers as a worthy epilog to a quiet, distinguished musical career. Fifty years ago Delius' parents did all they could to thwart their musical son. They wanted him for the stuff & yarn trade. When he refused they sent him to Florida to tend an orange grove. Thereafter Delius spent little time in England. He studied...

Georgie is pathetic but repulsive; Purfleet is a cad; Geoffrey a fool; all the rest run the gamut of knavery and oafishness.

When he arrived, he found the free bridge al ready open. He closed it for five minutes and then officially reopened it in the name of Oklahoma. After drilling his army of 32 guardsmen, posing for photographs, eating a salt pork...
...biographies are as searching as this one; few biographers would have gone on such a search. John Middleton Murry and the late David Herbert Lawrence were once friends; now Murry has written a book to tell the world why Lawrence was a false prophet. His half-apologetic epilog is addressed to the dead man: "The evil that you did, is done; and it is evil. You muddied the spring of living water that flowed in you more richly than in any man of your time. . . . You bewildered men who might have learned from you. betrayed men who would have followed...
