...that may be his lack, for in what he could understand he was struck by elements of really great drama and penetrating insight. The difficulties of language are as smoke surrounding a flame. Pirandello's thought, tinged with a profound yet tender pessimism, is in the truly grand manner. If he fails, it is only because he has attempted too much. And again his failure may be those of the translator and reviewer...
