A British writer offers the follow
ing comment and review of the late
August Strindberg's book, entitled
Zones of the Spirit" "The last and
perhaps the greatest Of strinberg's
books IL the one which closes and
epitomizes the vast literary record
Of lbs life, Zones Of the Spirit COM
pilation from the book of personal ex-
reriences which he kept (Das Blau
Buch). Here Strinberg ia once
more discovered as Christian. His
third marriage has failed, being dis
solved by mutual consent, but his bit
terness against woman has disappear
ed. He writes Of marriage and Of love
with deep and passionate under
standing Of the delicacy and beauty
of perfect devotion. He defines true
marriage as perhaps no other Scan
dinavian has done, and his exaction
from ideal marriage is the exaction of
the ultra-moderns. Woman must under
stand mans state Of soul; life must
to her be musical instrument upon
which she executes a superb harmony;
she must enter into the holy of holies
| Of life, regenerated, TRANSPORTED, a
soul loving another soul as it is in
heaven Strindberg advises you to
read Swedenborg with your Emerson
In one hand. This advice will also
hold for Strindberg. Also, it Is best
to read Strindberg backwards, for
only by the knowledge of the man
will you understand the lonely boy OF
The Son Of Servant The summa
summarum If strindberg's faith after
all seems to be: Pray, but work;
suffer, but hope: keeping both the
earth and the stars in view. Do not
try and settle permanently, for it is
a place Of pilgrimage; not a home, but
a hating place. Seek truth, for it ia
to be found, but only in one place
with Him who Himself is the Way
the Truth and the Life"
