...first thing they uncovered was the vivid and reassuring eye of the original horse, "so different from the dull look of the repaint" as to establish at once that they had made a find.

I love opera and follow the rising school of painters and writers around Boston . . . You know, the people who get exhibited on Newbury Street . . . I have a farm in Vermont. What else? Well," and then Howard Mumford Jones leans back in his chair and unconsciously sums up his influence in American letters, "Well," he says, "I have a clear, loud voice...
