Coloured Glass

IN the St. John's Wood studio of Mr. Bainbridge Copnall, the artist, the first decorations to be set up in the new Cunarder the Queen Elizabeth were recently completed.

They are the wood carvings and sand-blasted glass panels which, except for a tapestry woven on a seagod- dess theme, will be the only adornments of the first class restaurant.

Mr. Copmall's three assistants-two young men and a girl- recently put the last touches with delicate chisels to the surface of a large carving of the Queen's arms with the three lions and three archers' bows of the Bowes-Lyons.

Poet's Progress, from Hardy to Day Lewis

To make an orderly anthology of modern poetry is about as difficult as writing a history of the past three decades, Rather more difficult, because the poets who distil our ex- perience into their poems lend lives which are highly individual; one keeps his eyes fixed doggedly on the country, another turns to the town, a third to religion, and the result is a muddle which is not made clearer by the roundabout way in which they in- fluence one another.

Robert Lynd's "Anthology of Modern Poetry," which begins with Ilardy and enda with Auden, Day Lewis, Spender and MacNelce, Is a record of this sort.
