And there shall be another tale to tell.”
Robinson so expresses “Modernity”—quietly enough, yet with a challenge. Whether we have our darkness, whether we are encountering the intangible—and it is not intangible in this instance—we must at least see that another and more splendid tale shall be told by the next generation, and, meeting the challenge of the present in the name of the Future, vanquish, if it is in us.
ROBERT C. BATES.
More Modern Love
My destiny is less secure than lust
Which claims but earth,
Of less enduring worth,
Than dreams.... The iron reaches with its rust
Into my soul; the maggots of the clay
