ady unendurable land,
To leave the tiresome sameness of the streets, the sidewalks and the
houses,
To leave you, O you solid motionless land, and entering a ship,
To sail and sail and sail!

O to have life henceforth a poem of new joys!
To dance, clap hands, exult, shout, skip, leap, roll on, float on!
To be a sailor of the world bound for all ports,
A ship itself (see indeed these sails I spread to the sun and air),
A swift and swelling ship full of rich words, full of joys.

Atlantic Monthly Press, and Harry G. Paul, of the University of Illinois._

An anthology from the _Atlantic Monthly_, designed for colleges and senior
high schools. Here are exhilarating tales that will hold every student's
interest, essays and poems of vigor and delicacy--the whole a collection
that is "literature" in the fine old sense of the word, and "all _right_"

_An anthology of "Atlantic Monthly" articles collected and edited for

personal reactions to economic, social, educational, and religious
problems challenges attention, arouses steady interest in definite
problems, and starts young minds on their necessary quest of logical and
constructive ideas. It will make classroom discussion enthusiastic and
incisive and will keenly stimulate the student's powers in oral and
written composition.
