In endless variations on this theme, Perse evokes man's grandest and loneliest moments, his immemorial past, his intimations of a nobler future. With its Invocation. Strophe, Chorus and Dedication-and its sensuous neopagan salute to raw nature-Seamarks reads a little like a drama put on for the approval of the gods on Olympus. A long section symbolizing union with the sea might pass for impassioned love poetry. The final evocation is one of renascence: "The javelins of Noon quiver in the gates...

Wrote Critic Harold Clurman: "The qualities these dancers possess are those we [Americans] like to claim as our own when we feel ourselves to be at our best...
...answer: nothing. His suicide will seem improbable only to grownups who have forgotten the questionings of their own youth. ¶In The Climate of the Lost, a 14-year-old daughter of divorced parents falls victim to the selfish misunderstanding of her mother. Unfolded in a sensuous South of France setting, it is a harrowing case history in which innocent young love is turned into a crushing, puzzling sin by adults whose sensual greeds have corrupted them to the point of monstrousness...
