DISAPPOINTING MR. GRAVES.
Mr. Robert Graves is joint con troller of a private hand-press at Majorca; and for the purpose of showing how finely it can produce books the verse in his To Whom | Elso "(Deya, Majorca; Selzin Press pp. 19) is, no doubt, as good as any other writing. For what else it, or moat of it, is printed is obezure,
The word "thimble" points to the From a poet with his record one fact that originally this protection keeps on looking for something was worn on the thumb to parry the memorable, and one keeps on being thrust of the needle, and not, as at denied. Five of these pages are in present, to help to push it through prose under the heading "As it The Dutch term were Poems." Most, of the verse the material, "finger-bat," or "finger-hood" be might, just as aptly be labelled "Poetry, 80 to say." "On Time" came in this country the "thum bell," from. Ita bell-like shape, and the title-piece are honourable Eventually the word was changed to exceptions. Mr. Ben Lye's cover In
silver, blue, and grey' is a delight." "thimble."
