...just a little thing in a muslin dress, lisping "Rock of Ages" in a Tennessee Mountain Church. They confined their attentions to the voice which Grace Moore, 27, used to sing Mimi in the special performance of La Boheme which served for her debut. They stamped it as fresh, smooth and appealing, but small, often insecure, often unfaithful to pitch. Her acting, utterly uninspired, was satisfactory by reason of its simplicity...
...Lifting one foot slowly above the other, lungs suffocating, nothing but the marble precipice below and the sky-light above. Past niches cut in the smooth marble as if for statues. No statues there! They were carved by explorers who had died in the Child Memorial climb, cremated themselves, and placed their ashes here, to be blown to the four winds of heaven.

But such roughnesses leave tiny shadows against each other; for the eye, this is the only evidence of their presence. These tiny shadows are duplicated...
