...certain sureness and aptness in dealing with a topic not too macabre to lie within the writer's power. Of the two offerings in vers libre, one, the anonymous "Hermes," falls clearly below the average in leaving one uncertain whether it is seriously or humorously modelled upon the accepted pattern of the imagists.
