.The book Is a summing-up, a condensa

beauty that has almost a folk quality.
Picture follows picture and fate, moves
on resistlossly. Unquestioned. unex.

about thla book Is that there Is not a
trace of STUklneM in it. It. is clear and
fine. The suffering and wrong and sor

perate shifts.. Yet what Is most marked
Is purity that I not destroyed under the
