The Days of a Year. By Ashley Dodd. (Elkin Mathews.

2s. 6d. net.)—Here we have in poetical prose descriptions of skies, land- scapes, atmospheres, and so forth, one for every day of the year. But the year was very different from 1907. Here is " June : Twenty-fourth." "Sky of lilac and rose hanging serene over the departing day. The woods are very quiet and night's footsteps draw nearer over the hills. The world grows dusk, but the heaven-flush lingers, blessing the earth with radiance of pink and opal—its touch of remaining glory—like the burning thought of some divine joy that has gone."
