THE SHADOW OF CER
VANTES, by D. B, Wyndham
Lewis, Sheed and Ward, 1962,
197 pp., $4.50.
Reviewed by Sister Mary
Thaddeus, S. S. J,
While primarily a biography
of a universally recognized
great writer, THE SHADOW
OF CERVANTES is far more
than that. It is the study of an
age,—an age. in which Spain
gave abundantly to the literary
and artistic world.
The author evokes the spirit
of Cervantes amid present day

surroundings. He gives the
reader an insight into the poli
tical, economic, and religious
aspects of Spain, traces the
emergence of Spanish drama
and poetry, describes the coun
try and its peoples, handling
this wealth of material with
his accustomed craftsmanshio.
While he gives priority to
the inimitable Don Quixote and
the other works of Cervantes,
Mr. Lewis also briefly delinea
tes such eminent Spaniards as
St. Theresa of Avila, Lope de
Vega, Catherine of Aragon, John
of the Cross, Louis de Leon and
others whose lives and works
have left their impact on the*
cultural or religious life of
their country.
To Cervantes he accords un
fathomable genius and he tran
slates the apparent absurdities
of the Don into characteristics
of compelling worth and beauty.
This work on Cervantes could
not have been written without
vast research to which the size-
Among the many receptions

Three hundred of the Spanish
sailors attended the 10 o’clock
Mass at the Cathedral of St.
John the Baptist on Sunday,
April 28th. The Mass was cele
brated by their chaplain. Fol-
able bibliography gives ample
proof. Throughout the account
the author frequently affirms
or denies past assumptions on
the subject, questions interpre
tations of critics or challenges
their views.
Written in Lewis’ s mathcless

erary value and enjoyment.
JUDGEMENT OF THE SEA,
by Gertrud von LeFort, 1962,
Regnery, 219 pp., $5.
The novelist, Gertrud von
LeFort, shares in common with
other talented German writers,
such as Elizabeth Langaesser
and Reinhold Schneider, the dis
tinction of being practically un
known and unread in America,
It is true enough that it takes
time for the genius of one nation
to make its appeal to another,
particularly when twice in half
a century they have been at
each other’s throat. Although
we have, at times, been able to
rise above the petty loyalties
of nationalism (as distinct from
patriotism) and accept the
works of Goethe, Mann, and an
occasional middle-brow play by
Schiller, relatively little Ger
man literary talent has come to
us. Only now is it beginning.
The best of the lot, by far, is
Gertrud von LeFort.
In all her works, the passe
partout of von LeFort’s suc
cess is the judicious use of
Christian symbolism. An ar
tist like Baroness von LeFort
uses poetic energy not to widen
but to lessen the gap separat
ing the realities of life and its
mysteries. The scurf sym
bolism of, say, a Tennessee
Williams, or, going back a few
years, F. Scott Fitzgerald, does
just the opposite. God and man
are thrown so far apart that
perversion and drunkeness
seem not only natural but the
inevitable. These men are good
writers but it does not follow
that they produce good litera
ture. If a novelist wishes to
use extensive symbolism, he
must recognize that the basis
of all symbolism is the Divine
symbol of man made in the
image of God. If he turns it
around and puts God in the image
of man, he drags the reader
into a pagan existentionalism
lowing the Mass, accompanied
by their own 12-piece band,
they sang the “Salve.’’
Thousands of visitors toured
the Juan Sebantian de Elcano
while it was in port, docked at
Ocean Terminal.
Huguenin Thomas, Jr., and
Mrs. Thomas along with Com
mander Harry Powers, U.S.M.,
Commander Naval Reserve
Training Center, were in charge
of all arrangements in
Savannah.
Past grand knight Chris E.
Hernandez, of Savannah Council
#631, was in charge of the
Knight’s program of entertain

which, bizarrely, reverses the
age old question; "What does
it profit a man if he gains his
soul and suffers the loss of the
whole world?’’
In a country where the Bible
continues as the national best
seller and, at the same time,
the book with the least influ
ence on the personal lives of
its readers, it is not surpris
ing that fictional literature bas
ed on Scripture ends by being
popular but ineffectual. The
Christian intellectual is inter
ested in religion but seldom in
being religious. This Janus pat
tern allows him to accept and
praise artists like von LeFort,
especially if they have a cer
tain amount of dinner jacket
value.
There are four novellas in
JUDGEMENT OF THE SEA,
The relation of the idea to the
story and not the story to the
idea is the key to understand
ing each one. As always, von
LeFort is better meditated than
read. If meditation is asking
too much, read the book twice.
That will have to do. (D, M.)

the teaching authorities in the
Church must accept this compe

joice in the opportunities for

The layman may find, Cardi
nal Cushing says, that "his new
role on occasion generates mis
understanding and even creates
new problems," but he in turn
"must strive to stimulate in his
own disposition" that "same
spirit of patience he expects
in Church authority."
As for the bishops, the Car
dinal says, they are obliged to
preserve, without change es
sential Christian doctrine,’’ but
"they must encourage pub
lic opinion, and the private judg
ment in which it originates,
within those wide boundaries
where its contribution will be
helpful to a fuller understanding
and a broader application of the
Christian message."
