New Age, The, 10/29/1908 "It is very good. It is inimitable. It is sheer genius. One cannot reasonably find fault with its amazing finesse. But then one is so damnably UNreasonable! One had expected...something with a more soaring flight, something more passionate, something a little less gently 'tired' in its attitude towards the criminal frailties of mankind!...[When] an Anatole France grows wearily indulgent before the spectacle of life, one is inclined to wake him by throwing 'Leaves of Grass' or 'Ecce Homo' (Nietzsche's) at his head. For my part, I am ready to hazard that what is wrong with Anatole France is just spiritual anaemia." -- Arnold Bennett
