...quite different sort is Ruben Dario's vividly descriptive "Sonfonia en Gris Mayor" (Symphony in Gray). In this is given a very real picture of the sea on a glassy calm day and of an old salt who sits at the sea's edge endlessly watching. Again, to show his versatile nature, Dario has written a poem called "Friso" (Frieze). Here classical images and classical scenes are handled in a manner reminiscent of Keats' "Ode on a Grecian Urn". Some of the best poems in the collection are by Ruben Dario...
Hard-shelled old conservatives glare askance at today's young left-wing novelists, grumble that these youths have sold their birthright of dreams for a mess of revolutionary economics. Left-wing critics retort that while the nightmare of the capitalist system persists, no young writer worth his salt can close his eyes to it.

MEMORIES OF MY CHILDHOOD-Selma Lagerlöf-Doubleday, Doran ($2.50). For human character, as for meat, salt preservative. Selma Lagerlöf is an old lady but she is salty.

Far enough removed from her own childhood (she is 75) to be forgivably sentimental about it, she writes with her accustomed sub-humorous kindliness of the little girl she was. Readers who missed the first volume of her reminiscences (Marbacka...
