...poems of a personal nature" as well as "poems descriptive of events in place and time . . . that seem now as dead as any other journalism." And she believes that poems written according to formal rules are "but an imitation of poetry." What, then, is left? A compact, pocket-sized jewel case of highly personal and rare poetic experiences that have less outward shine than inner glow. Poet Raine's father was a spare-time nonconformist preacher in suburban London, but there is no doubt that a Buddhist would understand better than a Christian the implications of The Sphere...
Huge and amiable, the former autocrat puffed up the gold-and-silver ladder to his jewel-encrusted throne, and just as the royal backside touched the gold-brocaded pillow waiting to receive it, thousands upon thousands of lights blazed up all over the city. Elephants with gilded toenails lumbered past the prince. Indian regimentals struggled bravely to keep their Scottish bagpipes skirling, while acrobats wheeled and tumbled. One by one Mysore's distinguished citizens approached the throne holding an offering of gold, and the maharaja, his diamond earrings ajangle, tapped the proffered coin to show that he accepted...
...those grown fond of the din, the 1956 Republican National Convention may well have seemed dull, and, compared to the Democratic meeting (or past G.O.P. conventions), it was. There were no fights, no cliff-hanging situations. With hardly a discordant tock to its tick, it ran off with multi-jewel precision.

Pastor Alexander proudly shows off the deeply carpeted little theater-in-the-round, now used by dramatic...
...Grace Kelly aboard Deo Juvante II, the virginal white 138-ft. yacht of Grace's groom-to-be, Prince Rainier III. All Monaco broke loose. Rockets zoomed, sirens screamed, dockside trolleys klaxoned, cannon fired 21-gun salutes. Ashore, the crowd-Mone-gasques, outlanders and the cream of world jewel thievery-dutifully roared. Overhead, a seaplane belonging to Sea Lord Aristotle Socrates Onassis, controlling croupier of Monte Carlo's famed Casino, bombarded Grace and His Serene Highness with 500 red and white carnations. Aboard Deo_ Juvante the lovers closed for a buss, were thwarted by a fast block thrown...
