Re-read some of the "little" thinqs in the world of the written word and see if something in us has atrophied see if something which humanity prizes highly has been lost when we put on "the full stature of manhood" and "put away childish things." Can we re-read Morley's delightful essay on smells or Twain's discourse on foods before professional dieticians began +n vitaminize a n d t o d e -victualize them and not find our mouths water- ing and our noses twitching? Can we re-read Dyer's My Mind to Me a Kingdom Is and not feel a re-inforce- ment of our belief in the innate dignity and reasonableness of man? Or can we muse over Burns's To a Mouse and not know that there is in man a quality which allows us to call sympathetic assistance "Humane"

Psalmist's De Profundis and not know that we are something less than per- fection? O r read a Thurber sketch and know we are also a bit absurd? If we can, then the dulce in Horace's famous dictum has been swallowed up by the utile.
On the other hand, if we cannot shut out that side of ourselves which psychologists call the "aesthetic" and theologians the "spiritual," then a recent and brief book may be of in- terest to us. The subject: life. The place: India. The author: E. M. Forster. The book: The Hill of Devi.
This is not just another book on India, any more than Faust is about Germany or Don Quixote is a book
