Struggle OF cyclists.

1t is reported that d'Annunzio and
Duse have again met and patched up
their quarrel. The almost superhuman
cruelty and egoiSm Of d'Annunzio in his
ferocious literary account OF his rela -
tions win Duse is to be remembered.
II is saiu that as a result of the desic-
eating d'Annunzio episode Duse lost, at
any rate temporarily, her talent and her
vitality; that he acted on her nature as
an eNcoriating flame.
That may very well be the case, for Ii
is likely that the poet is stronger than
the actress. They both have all the
egoism and individuality" which are so
often associated with genius of an ar
tStic kind. They met, and they de-
lighted not only in the rich companion
ship which their talent and tempera-
ment assured for one another, but ego
tiStically they enjoyed the fierce at
tempt to take the other at a disadvant-
age, to establish over the other the
slavery of love; for with such colossal
CYCLISTS love has no altruiStic or merely
affectiOnate element
