all about tn women who grow up in If,

In reading the finely conceived and
l. written book on Anatole France by
Lewis Piaget Shanks suddenly recalled
that some years ago, while roofing around
in ancient schisms and sects, l had run
across the Fathers of the Church Of Ana
tole. Anatole France and Thomas Hardy
remain the two Titans left on the Olympus
of Literature. The slopes below have
long waiting list, but on those heights
few are chosen and none is called.
The Fathers of the Church of Anatole
were called the Acataleptics, sect from
wayback opposed to the Gnosties, who
were the mystical prohibitionists OF their
day and knew it all. The doctrine Of the
Acataleptics was the doctrine of the in
comprehensibility of all things. Life pass
eth tile understanding. Pyrrho is the su-
preme Acataleptic among the ancients.
Anatole France is the supreme Acatalep-
tic among the ultra-moderns. Between
stands the great figure of Michel de Mon
taigne, on whose tomb is craven that
profoundly religious question, "What Do
l Known
If eatalepsy is q possession" Acata-
lepsy is state Of ultimate freedom. "The
story Of an intellectual odyssey MIR.
Shanks beautifully calls the career of
Anatole France from the publication of
Alfred de Vigny, Stude (1S6S} to What
Oar Dead Sag (1915). Odyssey, indeed!
for the adventures of Ulysses Anatole on
the way were worth the recording, and
the destination is of no Importance. Ana
tole France is the Ulysses of literature, as
Victor Hugo was the Homer of creeds.
