...birds-tumblers, carriers, homers. Ella, a parrot, cried: "When in Childs do as the children do." Pavlova, stork, danced a jig. Socrates, cinnamon bear, ponderously spelled out proverbs with colored blocks: BE GOOD AND YOU'LL BE LONESOME. EARLY TO BED. EARLY TO RISE AND YOU'LL NEVER MEET ANY PROMINENT PEOPLE. Florenz Ziegfeld bought a white wolf, not for his daughter Patricia but to give to the Boston Zoo. A nameless, snarling Montana coyote, exhibited by its owner, Fred Smidlap of Lakewood, N.

Experimental knowledge, says he, is the most authentic, the only kind actually worth much. "Knowledge which is merely a reduplication in ideas of what exists already in the world may afford us the satisfaction of a photograph, but that is all." The vital office...
EVERY SOUL Is A CIRCUS-Vachel Lind-say-Macmillan ($2.75). "Now in the fiftieth year of my age comes my revolt. I come roaring forth with a book which is the opposite of little Rollo and little Lucy." Perhaps Poet Lindsay never said quite the same thing before, but the blatant tone of voice is unmistakably his.
