Author Description

Excerpt from Greek Gestures If Walt Whitman were at my elbow he would, I believe, call these verses autochthonous, in the sense, however, of their being as indigenous to the Americas, or to Western Europe, the Antipodes, or wheresoever, as to Hellas. In other words, the beating heart and starry spirit of mankind are copartners in the busi ness of making life a great enterprise, regardless of time and place, working to a cosmic purpose, under the direction of something that the Greeks divined and left us to question.
