...gift from Artist Renoir's sons. It contains tortured Goyas, and stark El Grecos; bold, eye-shaking Manets, Monets, Picassos, Soutines, Matisses, Van Goghs.

The tilt at the Pocket Oxford Dictionary, by Mr. Abbott, begins with a gloriously mixed metaphor and goes right on being funny. It is pleasant to read The Man with a Briar again. He was another of my classmates, at college...
