Pompeii'' is good bit OF creative
writing, as is also the Imaginary
Conversation" from Slabsides with
its Whitman and Burroughs motifs.
though 1t Is questionable whether
this should have been reproduced
from the Classical Journal Of seven
years ago. And there is most in
structive chapter on Sicily, the long
est in the book, by the way. 1t is
pity in this connection that Miss
Haight, in giving her list Of refer
ences on Sicily, somehow saw fit to
omit (Goethe's "Italienische Reise."
for it remains fact that the author
of Faust" wrote what is to this day
one of the most enlightening and di-
verting- books that have ever been
written on Italy.
And even though there be space
merely to catalogue the sections
dealing with the aspirations of mod
ern Italian women, tea drinking in
Rome and Italian crowds and their
temper, this much must be done.
il only in the publishers interests.
for they could dispose of these chap
ters serially and consequently tighten
their royalty problems. Miss Haight
could find many magazine readers
eager to hear her prove that the Ital-
ians are not a heady, unbalanced
people: to hear her say that when
the modern Italian woman imagines
she is going forward she would do
well to ask herself whether she is
not really going back to the prestige
and power enjoyed. by the nsdtrone

And to read her list of italian ices

things amid statuary, to the best of
music, and adjacent to the house in
which Keats once lived.
But all this aside-the outstanding
lesson of this volume is the unceas-
ing power OF. poetry. The Rome that
Horace knew. Ovid in Sulmona, re-
reading Catullus at Sirmic, Vergil
as guide in Italy. It is on such
themes that a professor Of Latin
loves to write. But let no one even
intimate that these themes draw and
hold only the professors. Every boat
that leaves New York for Genoa or
Naples or some other italian harbor
has on it men and women who are
on their way to Italy because of
Latin literature in the Augustan age.
They may not be able to decline
columb bia or to conjugate lego. but
they want to see Italy. Had what
is now united Italy. however. never
produced poets, it would be as little
sought after as is Belfast, probably
the least poetic city in the Old
World. Miss Haight went over with
the poets as her guides. To follow
her is to follow them.

doors when it rains and of the park
benches when night comes on. And
she is truly like the little girl who
insisted on having two pages for
each day in her diary. one for events
and one for "feelin's."
Miss Haight records the events
that have made Italy the happy
travelling ground of the cultured
world. She also tells how she feels
about these stirring scenes, immor-
tai writer's, glorious places and mir
acle loving If not miraculous people.
Objectivity she relegates to Baede-
ker, where it belongs. She is sub
jective throughout. But, as profess
sor OF Latin in Vassar College, she is
sensible, Illuminating and compel
ling.
If Miss Haight is not compelling
it is when, as a woman among
women. she is misled by the sight
of troops in uniform. Her chapter

impression on the present writer
somewhat like that created by Ar
ticle x. Of the League of Nations on

Miss Haight went over to "Fiume,

firming that with "D'Annunzio no

the world are perhaps over" Well.
