...philosophie work and given it life. The theme, that there in an inner reality in an individual which can only be seen once his particular drama is recognized, is bandled with the skill befitting the work.

It tends to make the reader suspect that the author is sentimentally fond of writing, but unfortunately finds himself with nothing or little to say about people or events. Generally, although not necessarily, authors with something to say take care to say it clearly...
