That was 24 years ago. Today, the religious animosities that have already warped the past and present of one-fifth of humanity seem to have become permanent. Not only do Hindu and Moslem troops of the two countries clash at the borders, but Hindu and Moslem civilians also frequently tear at one another in cities and towns. In West Pakistan, communal troubles are rare only because very few Hindus hung on after partition. But in East Pakistan, Moslem oppression had caused a steady Hindu migration to India even before the current troubles began. Now that light-skinned Pathan and Punjabi...
...anachronism in which Eliot called for "a closed carriage" in 1922; the carriage promptly became a "closed car at four." W.H. Auden once observed that Eliot was part church warden, part twelve-year-old boy. Pound was on the side of the boy. His objections to Eliot's frequent use of "may" and "perhaps" ("Perhaps be damned") rise to pique when Eliot's narrator of the moment, the blind seer Tiresias, who by definition knows the past and the future, suggests that a half-formed thought "may" pass through the mind of a young woman after adultery...

Ben Shahn and Charles Sheeler are more frequently categorized and recognized as painters. Sheeler's "Geranium Plant," a frequent model for his paintings, appears here in double imagery as physical object and as mottled dises of shadow on a wall. The light coming through a window streaks across the wall--reminiscent of his precise and geometrical paintings of abstract light patterns. "Pennsylvania Barn" also maintains the geometric quality--horizontal fences, wooden...
