The Angle
In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay's first paragraph.
"The innocent, naive, child-like enthusiastic love play sounds of Charlie Hoxie' s horn which, in the underplay of saying little, said so much, mingled with the four-to-a-bar, tinny piano sounds emanating from the catsup-red and egg stain-yellow frontage of a brick building, billeted, in purple letters, with the notice "Jesus Saves". The two sounds fled from opposite sides of Lenox Avenue and, in their mad anxiety to proclaim to the world their respective messages, met and destroyed each other, their energies dropping in a death heap on the scattered …

"Throughout the works of literature, there constantly appear certain characters who, although merely products of an author's imaginative pen, make such a profound impression at first meeting that they live on further within the mind of the reader. They are those who are deliberately molded in such a way as to emphasize either main, or lesser, themes of a work solely by their own motivations and actions, as if divorced from all other activity. In this way, the theme itself, personified in the character, becomes an unforgettable rondo, …

The Earthly Inferno Of Graham Greene, J. W. Miller
The Earthly Inferno Of Graham Greene, J. W. Miller
The Angle
In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay's first paragraph.
"It has been said that the history of man could be written as a history of the alienation of man. What cloudy, disturbing vision lies at the back of our minds that tells of a better world, a primeval paradise from which we have all been separated? Graham Greene realizes, perhaps more intensely than any other contemporary novelist, that man, made for a more perfect world, is born with a constitutional dissatisfaction for this one. The characters in his novels are always isolated, bewildered by the immense complexity of …

The Angle
In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay's first paragraph.
"In a wry moment Wordsworth remarked that "the child is father to the man." The insight which he meant to convey was that by some undesired mental growth we have the nasty habit of losing our youthful joy, acceptance and wonder. The process of maturation jades our vision; the awful sense of loneliness, of isolation from our environment, enters and warps all hope, banishes all our better dreams. In this era, "of new inventions, for killing bodies and for saving souls, all propagated with best intentions," we find it …

"Unable to find the freedom of spirit which of needs must cohabit with the mind of a genius, finding the parochialism and the wide gap between myth and reality in his native land paradoxically too constricting, James Joyce at an early age, left Ireland and made the world his home. Residing in Trieste, Paris, Zurich and Vienna, he taught language and attempted to fill his insatiable thirst for symbols of thought by imprinting on his mind the words of all men. The juxtaposition of sounds and their meanings were …

Rebel With The Highest Cause, John Porter
The Angle
In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay's first paragraph.
"Leon Bloy doesn't write-he cries out in personal agony. He doesn't set down principles, he wrenches his principles from an early breast-beating Christianity. There is no compromise. Virtue doesn't ride the middle course but sings and wheels its way helter-skelter in the channel of its own absolute rightness. Grays are foul anJ detestable. Vice is not to be avoided but destroyed. There is no such thing as passive resistance."
Unus Multitudinis, James Bond

"The citizens of Concord, Massachusetts, whose ancestors "fired the shot heard 'round the world," have mustered to defend one of the most famed cultural shrines in our nation. Nothing less than the woodland site of Henry David Thoreau's cabin on Walden Pond is being threatened with mutilation by bulldozer and power-saw."

"It began and ended with a flash. His hands moved swiftly, grabbing at the drunken levers, and all at once he was out. Tearing, smashing through the solid air, the noise resounding in his ears, he sped earthward. His body moved quickly, the flashing clouds and dancing sun weaving a kaleidoscopic pattern on his aching eyes. Even now the fear was in his throat, and the wind ripped away his scream. With a jarring shock the parachute opened. His bouncing, spinning body came to rest. Down was restored and …

In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay's first paragraph.
"The office of Rickwell, Syngayte and Burnn always surprised any visitor who knew how long the young agency had been in existence. The unexpected plushness could be traced to Mark Rickwell, who would not allow his treasured family name to appear on an unseemly portal. He had lavished a long-term loan on his son's firm at the time that the original partnership papers had been signed. He did not feel that he had gambled with his money, however; he had, frankly, been very pleased at his son's good sense …

Some Notes On The Tragedy In William Faulkner's "The Sound And The Fury", James Bond
The Angle
In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay's first paragraph.
"Whatever else it may be, and it has run the gamut of critical evaluation, the novel "The Sound and the Fury" is a tragedy. Whether or not it is a tragedy. Whether or not it is a tragedy in the dynamic tradition of Sophocles and Shakespeare or Whether it is so lacking in moral resonance as to be merely an agglomeration of perverted and questionable ideas remains to be seen, but by a complex interweaving of incident and character, the personages in the novel are destined to doom, and …

In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay's first paragraph.
"When the first vague drumbeats of a new musical idiom rumbled out of the dark corners of the South, Mencken's 'Sahara of the Bozart' was no more. In the rhythms of jazz the cacophony that is the modern industrial city found its artistic spokesman. At first this errant child of music was forced to take refuge in the dance halls and smoky dubs like a yelling, mewing. newborn child, and it was several years before the jazz artists were able to attract the serious attention of the cultural custodians …
