...time he well understood that it was the sine qua non of a great critic to have a definite point of view. He chose a text and threw a strong and steady light upon it. His horizon was wider even than that of St. Beuve's. Yet he sometimes fell into ambiguities, and was often led astray by his fondness for phrases. Arnold will always live, nevertheless, as the greatest English critic of the nineteenth century. Arnold's poetry is largely introspective.

But the Harvard team rallied, and forced Yale back rapidly, and at 2.43 she was forced to a safety touchdown. Score, Harvard 2, Yale 0. This seemed...
...found in Hannibal Rivers, the senator, a role peculiarly adapted to his talents, and his success in it may safely be said to be greater than in any role he has previously essayed. His reception last night, from the time he first entered the stage until the curtain fell on the last act, was a perfect ovation. He was ably supported by a company which is strong at every joint. Miss Barrymore, as the dashing widow, was irresistible. 22 Second Floor...
