Excerpt from Depreciations I do not imagine that I have cut in pieces either the one or the other. This book is a sword-thrust that may, indeed, be no more than a pen-prick. Moore, Yeats, Bennett, Wells, Chesterton and the rest remain impos ing, and so I recognize them; marriage, reli gion, the effort at fundamentalities and finali ties, these too remain important to humanity. I have merely given expression to my present personal reaction to them; I may feel differ ently in a year - and then there may be another book for you to read.
