Union lieutenant who felt he
had made a mess Of his life

he survived the enveloping
battle. He didn't. Others who
emerge from the hordes Of

has yet and he's been through

Within the Subtle
Natures of the Irish

T. H. White is an English
man, and Pauline Smith is q
South African. What they
have In common is q COM
pelling sense Of place and a
marvellous gift for making
you feel what you do not
always fully understand. His
book of personal sketches
about Western Ireland, THE
GOD STONE AND THE

and her short stories OF stern
Afrikaners, THE LITTLE
KAROO vanguard; $500
are both written with enor-
nous distinction.
Mr.. White, the author of
1.-THE Once and Future King"
Is so fine a writer that you
follow him word for word
even when you haven't a clue
what he is talking about.
Only a masterful man could
make you share his excite
ment about falconry, when
you don't know what a kestrel
is. 1t is his phrases, his
penetrating asides that keep
you enthralled.
Does Them Honor
These loosely connected
"reminiscences Of a hunting
fishing shooting sojourn in
remote corners Of Ireland
convey magically his en-
chantment and puzzlement.
He makes you see q lonely
peasant lad who was "a
nobleman in hated chains"
and the Archbishop of Tuan,
"a spry, noble old shepherd"
and the geese whirring over
his head who reminded him
Of the "60-year-old spinster
aunts who used to frequent
England in my youth" There
is a wonderful description of
getting up at dawn, of going
to a wake, Of a pilgrimage
up the sacred mountain of
CROUCH Patrick, of the bliss
full arranged marriage of a
60-year-old ghillie and an
18-year-old girl he never saw
