...mantel of age which surrounds them. Who is not stirred when looking on the gymnasium, busier in the year of the great war? Or when gazing at Boylston, which some affirm was standing when the late L. Ericsen pushed his dragon-prowed ships against the banks of the poetic Charles...
...general literary situation. I understand that it has become increasingly difficult to get good stories for the magazines, one reason being the greater profit from writing scenarios for the "movies," another the deductive attraction of vers libre.
