Excerpt from The Tempo of Modern Life Although all of the essays groupe in this volume deal with one or another aspect of the contemporary scene, it is hoped that their interest may transcend the passing moments. Every moment is compact of past and future as well as of the present, there are abiding as well as fleeting phases of all our problems, and the author has been more interested in the former than the latter. All sound criticism demands standards, and standards imply a permanent element. It is the presence or absence of this core of permanence that establishes criticism as transitory or lasting, and it is with the modest hope that these essays may belong to some extent to the more lasting sort that they have been gathered into book form. The author offers his thanks to the several magazines in winch the essays first appeared: "Harper's Monthly, " "The Atlantic Monthly, " "The Forum, " "The Saturday Review of Literature, " "Current History, " and "The Yale Review."
