“Du Bois is a dreamer, a rhapsodist, a sort of embodied consciousness of the doom of his race. He writes always with tragic intensity and drifts infallibly from facts and arguments to impassioned upbraidings. anathemas, panegyrics.

He strives practically and sensibly to enable that race to get as much as possible without alarming the other race.”
