Abstract

Romantics Enthroned
Ladd, Henry | April 24, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

This article focuses on the book "Procession of Lovers," by Lloyd Morris. It is an art more limited, more precious, more rigorously poetical. It is the art of wresting from biography the form of pure narrative; of fashioning this into a metaphor for a philosophy, an attitude to life. With a single gesture each story attempts to turn tradition, fantasy, fact into one beautiful thing worth experiencing for itself; and each story falls just short of its ambitious goal. Mr. Morris, however, is at his best with "the romantics."
