Tomb
which she then spoils by building
three celebrating verses upon if. Some
skill and some real indication of char
acter are to be found, but they have not
yet met close enough to form STYLE in
Miss Bagnold's verse.
The same may be said of the eight
writer's who contribute to this vears
volume of "Wheels" Though thew are
beginning to show a collective indi-
viduality, which might enable any one
coming across a chance line or two bv
Mr.. Arnold James or Mr.. Sherard
Vines to say, THAT might have come
out of 'Wheels'" (they have all found
the same rhyme for tomb; they oc-
caslonally evade it by means of the
allteratlve antithesis, radle"-"cof-
fin; they all echo Mr. Aldous Huxlev,s
sigh, II desire no Paphan cloister of
pink monks'), there is about most of
them an ambiguity which gives the
old fogey pause. Does Miss Iris Tree.
who is quite plainly in earnest in her
successful genre poem, "Return," mean
US to take seriously a pseudo sonnet
beginning:
Hoac often, sohen the thouoht Of

The ghosts Of many foods oua1,-ino

Miss Edith Sitwell is the onlv one OF
these writer's who has come to nos
sess real style. She has invented
rushing couplet into which she Grams
the giddy suns Kaleidoscope" Her
verses read like a parable of some
thing seen by Beardsley and colored bv
Bauguin:
Jungle splashed u1th violent liqht.
Promenades oil hard and bright. !
When she annotates a personal ex-
perlence she can give it a general sig
and this is going a long wav
toward poetry. Thus of train Jour |
ney: though there is "Reminiscences
of Rupert Brooke in the manner of
Miss Sltwell's poem, there is more than
imitation Of him in the close:
The furry uegetation there
