desire t teach, but critics ha%’e as-

dilcmmn between the shadow cast by
hij own body and “the bright aura
woven by hi- dreams.” A loosely
woven fantasy makes the body of the

Then Alfgar listened to the music of
Ettarrc's passing—the music from
behind the moon, and Alfgar began
b journeying* to find Ettarre. Life
dealt him changes of seasons and
human decades. Age, that might
have been limping and joyless, was
made clad for him by the touch of
the “witch woman who had drawn
him out of the set ways of life into
the garden between dawn and sun
rise. whose magic is more great than
is the magic of time.” Beautiful in
expression, with rare words like
“famousness" the book draws the
reader into a world of dreams. Here
is the music of literature. If we
catch that, we ask not for logic or
