Much verse is produced which might be placed with last year's store lists — you know where ; some is distinctly good , but it is soon lost in the raging sea of poetic dialect , and hackneyed naïveté .

And unto him that understandeth at last do I deliver the secrets of truth in such wise that the least of the little children of the light may run to the knees of the mother and be brought to understand.
