...seasoned stone of the buildings, bridges and docks, and the "spire-shattered" sky. But frequently he seems to have been too busy being an imagist to be a poet as well. I do not mean to disparage imagism save when it becomes a conscious pose. Then it goes in search of the strange angle of vision, the unheard-of adjective, the interpretation of sounds in the terms of sight, of color in the terms of feeling and so forth.

One has only to search the columns of any daily paper to find the variety of predigested information furnished in the city, much of it on Sunday. Ford Hall meetings, Tremont Temple addresses, public library meetings, Lowell lectures and Faneuil Hall meetings, not to mention special lectures, crowd into view.
