Abstract

A Symphony of Sin
van Doren, Mark | April 16, 1924 issue

add to cart   close window

Edwin Arlington Robinson tempered himself to his, there are no obscurities in "The Man Who Died Twice." Rather, all is luminous with an other-worldly light, not the sun, but some energy of ghostlier brilliance and less warmth glitters along these lines and makes them clear. For such a reader also there is no prose within the volume. Open it at random and in ignorance and many a passage will yield no music, temper the ear, however, to the whole and the whole will sing where Robinson intended that it should sing, in depths of the brain.
