Two readers were forced to cancel at the last
minute, and yet we had eight, eager to recite. Poetry, it seems, has a firm
hold on the imagination among us, considering how much relish the readers put into
their selection and reading.

Poets in translation are not well- served usually,
and when so outstanding a poet as Kazi Nazrul Islam is displayed in mean English the pity is
even more. Yet his modernity of temper and exultant singing voice gets through.

This was the first time that Yeats was chosen for
reading in our group, and his wonderful meditation on old age and love left us
all with something to look forward to. On the other hand, Emily Dickinson was
being recited yet once more, with lovely poems representative of her strange and striking work.

Here we are, mightily refreshed after drinking deep
from the Pierian spring:—
