...considerable gift for writing light verse. His cats are delightful, and the book is in every way pleasing. His "Family Reunion," published last Spring created the nearest thing to a literary cause celebre that Harvard had seen in years. You can give it to reactionary Anglophile classicists, if you know any. . . . Mark Van Doren's "Collected Poems, 1922-1938" give a good picture of a sensitive and rather mystical mind. Mr. Van Doren's "Shakespeare" cannot be too highly recommended. An entirely fresh and illuminating critical appraisal. . . . Stephen Spender and J. L. Gilli have translated some poems of the young...

...finest craftsmen Japan has ever produced. The prints, which are being shown on the first floor of the museum, are primarily humorous and satirical renditions of the actors who lived during the time of the artist. The subject matter is handled so skillfully that it is not necessary to know anything about the characters who are portrayed; depth and interest are implicit in the technique. In certain of the pieces, for example, especially the few which represent the comedians, the systematic repetition of line motifs is exaggerated to such a marked degree that even a person who knows comparatively little...
