...farthest in them? What territory do they cover? If each were summed up in a single volume, what would be the chapter headings of that volume? (For some of those chapter headings will be the titles of the courses you will take if you concentrate there). Above all, what sort of a "view of life" does each one take...
...program of thirteen numbers and two reminiscences proved much of the same sort as last year's. There was melodrama in "Stenka Razin", high tragedy in "The King Orders the Drums to be Beaten", sentiment in "A Winter Evening", sentimentality in "The Arrival at Bethlehem", sugar-sweet delicacy in many others, and varying degrees of piquancy, satire, burlesque, and buffoonery in the rest.

...author of The Crock of Gold and In the Land of Youth is thoroughly at home in New York City. He would be at home anywhere, in a curious, amused, detached sort of way. They tell of Irish charm. One sees it in varying quantities. James Stephens has more of it in the crook of his little finger than any other Shamrock wearer I have ever met has in his whole carcass. Small, wiry, with an effort almost of crookedness in the bend of his walk, with a face crinkled and traced by the ways of much laughter...
