...Assumptionist Fathers swore to combat irreligion in Europe, to missionize in the East. From the Balkans to the Dead Sea they established their posts. Shrewd, they learned Oriental languages, heard confessions in German, Greek, Turkish. Some-times they adopted and altered slightly alien rituals to make their gospel first familiar, then embraced. In Jerusalem they erected the Hôtelrie de Notre Dame de France. Here in 1893 was held a Eucharistic Congress. In 1900, republican France accused the Assumptionist Fathers of royalist intrigues. Their schools were closed, their activities halted. They fled to Italy, Belgium. England...
...that suddenly what with the spring and all there flashed into his mind-one of those inspirations for which the Vagabond is famous-a line of what might, with judicious help of the riming dictionary, be a poem: "If April comes can May be far behind." It had a familiar ring; the vibration, he thought which shivers through all great poetry. But no, its ring was too familiar; he had heard something very much like it before. And then he remembered-and both his poem and the beauty of the day were blown away in a particularly nauseous blast form...
...interesting revelation of the early history of the College. There was a happy mixture of graceful good rumor mingled with the more serious matter of Mr. Quincy's essay and a general smile lit up the countenances of the audience to whom bequests of thousands of dollars were familiar, to hear him read records of donations to the College of an iron spoon and pewter cup, or similar articles. Most or the ladies rushed from the house to see the procession move to the Pavilion, a few, perhaps half a dozen, were detained accidentally in the gallery, and formation...
...that even Printer Cuneo could have cut this copy into "takes"* that intelligent compositors could not have recognized as Coolidge biography, the story teller, in my judgment, was trying to put something over- and not very cleverly. For there is little if any of the text that is not familiar to cover-to-cover TIME readers. Which leads me to suspect that either Editor Long or one of his boys wrote the copy of this "great mystery" captioned "On Entering and Leaving the Presidency" and, like so many "autobiographies" appearing in the popular magazines, that it was okayed...
Irish painting is far less famed than Irish literature. But anyone who recalls the longing of Poet William Butler Yeats for "the bee-loud glade" or the poignant desolation of Novelist George Moore's The Unfilled Field, or any of the more familiar expressions of Celtic lyricism and melancholia, will easily imagine the similar lilt and dolour of Irish painting. Thus when an exhibition of contemporary Irish art opened, last week, at the Helen Hackett Galleries in Manhattan, few were surprised at the nature of the paintings.* Irishmen like Paul Henry see landscapes of mist-laden perfection and paint...
