attempt to establish the pure Aryan race, decided
that all mentally ill, gypsies, non supporters of
Nazism, and Jews were to be eliminated from the
German population. He proceeded to reach his goal
in a systematic scheme. " One of his main
methods of " doing away" with these
" undesirable" was through the use of

Kenneth C. Mason " Buteo Regalis" is a
brief but startlingly vivid insight... an
epiphanic moment... [I]ts object is to give a
potent sense of the raw wild strength in nature.
It is just its accuracy in description which is so
impressive in this poem. Lines two and three
" What sense first warns? / The winging is
unheard, / Unseen but as distant motion made
whole... " are remarkable for their realism
and their apparent ease in handling a very
difficult perception. Lines five ...

Diane Wood Middlebrook Sexton stayed in the Boston
suburbs, where she and Maxine Kumin provided each
other with unflagging support as they built what
Kumin called their " cottage industry"
into successful careers. Of the four, Sexton was
the first to tap the constraints women felt in
conforming to prevailing feminine stereotypes,
perhaps because she was developing her art under
the psychological influence of a mother identified
not with self-sacrifice but with writing. The last
poem Se...

Robert H. Abel Ishmael Reeds poem " I Am a
Cowboy in the Boat of Ra" turns on a series
of elaborate puns and allusions that all reinforce
the central idea that the old (black) god Ra is
about to reclaim his throne and his power over
men. In addition, Reeds marriage of " popular
culture" imagery with figures from Egyptian
mythology produces an offspring with some
startling independent features. Ra, the sun god
and creator of men, was variously portrayed as a
baby who grew olde...

Quot Quot Depression Era
1,487 words
Nancy Berke Much proletarian literature of the
1930 s concerned itself with the pathetic plights
of working men. Depression-era historical
documentation and popular culture are filled with
familiar images of male figures standing on bread
lines, slouching over watery soup in church
basements, flagging down rides on desolate
highways, or fighting placement or scabs during
strikes. While Genevieve Taggard's proletarian
collection Calling Western Union contains poems
that honor working men and thei...

asserts that there is no live swan, " no
swan, / with swart blind look askance / and
gondolier ing legs, so fine" as the china one
among its finely sculptured and polished flowers
in the Louis XV candelabrum. The last half-line of
the poem reads, simply and abruptly, " The
king is dead. " A way of life that went along
with the kings life is also dead. The swan is

Thomas R. Whitaker " Portrait of a Lady,
" which is really another paradoxical
self-portrait, amusingly renders the descending
movements of that fiber of swift attention with
which Kora in Hell was primarily concerned The
descent, of course, is not merely visual. The poem
moves, through interior dialogue, from an easy
formalized tribute toward a more disturbing
contact. The witty and sentimental style of
Watteau or of Fragonard (whose " The

Grover Smith Although " The Hollow Men"
is not a mere appendage to The Waste Land, it may
most profitably be read as an extension of the
same design of quest and failure. The quest has
already failed once when the poem opens. The
history of Kurtz in " Heart of Darkness"
conforms to the general pattern. Conrad may often
be understood best through the study of primitive
rituals of succession, initiation, and fertility.
That Kurtz has been initiated into the tribe,
