...know that the linear pursuit of ego-goals is a closed circle wherein getting there is none of the fun. Except for the sketchiest of suggestions that require a dedicated between-the-lines reading. DeRopp helps us but little in acting on that knowledge. He verbalizes many of our sickest foibles and follows with a rejoinder like "On the other hand, the student of Creative Psychology (capital C. capital P) approaches the problem from a much healthier premise." After a while, the reader half expects to come across an application black to fill out and send away for your free...
Scenes inside buildings are introduced by camera investigations of the buildings: a wedding, by pans up and down the outside was of the church, only then cutting inside to show the people involved; a house wherein a shooting has just occurred is introduced by a track into the front door. This prominence that Renoir gives to the land--both dramatically (opening and closing scenes with shots of the land) and visually (making human figures a part of the total land-patten)--establishes the land as constant through his characters' changes, the factor determining their actions...

"I liken the process," he says, "to sending a telegram wherein you use the fewest, most precise words for the meaning of the message...
Last week Wilbur recounted what he had been told as a grad student at Harvard, wherein we are told: "Show, don't tell." Then he read a long narrative poem in blank verse which first appeared in the New Yorker last year, and which I remember was about someone telling an insomniac how to get to sleep. What I had not remembered was that the poem explained much more, was a defining of perception and a sad discussion of his art. "What you must manage is to bring to life/ A landscape not worth looking at." "Nor must you dream...
