Solomon's Temple. Many a commentator on the Jew-Arab crisis of last week loosely assumed that the "Wailing Wall," where all the trouble started, is part of the famed Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem, built by the Louis XIV of Jewry circa 1000 B.C. and today utterly in ruins though the outlines of the Temple remain.

It is a tolerably good answer to those who wail about modern literature (and who don't read it). Most of these authors should be collected in their original bindings and the lady will, of course, have to do over her library. There will be many cloth books in bright colors and paper labels and the decorator will have to use uncommon skill. Somehow I cannot see Barbellion in calf...
