On War
Symons, Arthur | June 15, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

The author focuses on the letter received from his friend Augustus John to discusses about war. John is not sure when he is coming on the leave, all is glittering in the front, amidst a great silence the guns reverberate. John praised of Constantine guys, who had done certain wonderful war drawings. They discussed about Charles Baudelaire, who, in 1863, wrote an immense essay on Guys. His prose is tremendously amusing, paradoxical, cynical, subtle and certainly much of this extravagant prose is fashioned out of Baudelaire's personality.
