The article focuses on two books "The Hunter Gracchus and Other Papers on Literature and Art" and "The Cardiff Team: Ten Stories," by Guy Davenport. On the long march through the woods of the world, humankind seeks a lamp by which it will be led. Goodly guidance, then, is a thoroughly human need and in the world of arts and letters, Davenport, poet, painter, translator, fictionist and critic, has been for decades an indispensable guide in all the darkness. As an essayist, Davenport has treated a gallimaufry of subjects in his previous collections. Davenport's genius is in charting connections the invisible contiguities between continents of human make, the family resemblances between the far-flung forces.
