Trask, Kate Nichols. Night and morning. **$1.25. Lane.
A side-light on the divorce problem. It upholds the “higher inner law of love itself which in itself is the highest freedom,” and which is “a Beatitude rather than a law.” It “is the story of the woman taken in adultery retold in picturesquely colored blank verse, with the imaginative addition of the personality of her lover, a ‘subtle Greek’ Leonidas.” (Nation.)
“Its development and constructive power indicate a mind of very uncommon order. There is a continuous upbuilding of interest until the last words are spoken. The poem is didactic, but its artistic form is preserved, in spite of the extreme difficulty of the situation which might easily have resulted in the art being, at all events, obscured by theological discussion.” D. Frangcon-Davies.

“The story is told with picturesque beauty and adorned with happy imagery. Avowedly a didactic composition, the poem is nevertheless deeply moving, and its spiritual message is high and clear.” Wm. M. Payne.
