amenities. (with lack of clarity as to what facilities
would be included for what amount); the S.P.A.R.A.

‘I think that at the least this is, if

mistake, I think, in that there is
here a tendency to ignore the
probability that all good writing
has a greater or lesser degree of
inspiration in it. Further, it would
seem that there is inspiration
inherent in all creative work, at
least any which. adds to
mankind’s store of beauty and
which helps to stimulate him and
raise him above the materialism

Another manifestation of this is
spoken of as ‘‘vision’”’. We think of
