The world has never seen an age In
which there was more excuse for Ques-

folly to expect posterity to authenti-
cate the vaporings of an appreciation
which in shifting its stress from the
universal to the personnel has changed
from criticism into colloquy, from elm

less than a truism that the experience
of the artist In allxages, according to
the verdict of histofy, is identical with
