Better than any one else whose name comes to mind, Mr. Lucas
has mastered the difficult art of the compiler. There is more
individuality in “The Gentlest Art,” for instance, than in the
so-called original works of many an author. This happy knack of
assembling the best things in the world on a given subject is given
free play in the present book, the subject of which is the Eternal
Feminine. Here are all the best words of the poets on a theme
which surely offers scope for more variety than any other within
the view of the reader. Like others of Mr. Lucas’s books, this is
attractively bound and decorated.
