Summary
Admitting that though he has not replied to Herbert's submission to The Kenyon Review for several months, "the manuscript has been ... on this desk"; sharing that he finds the quality "both of the verse play and of the prose piece" to be "poetical and lyrical"; however, additionally noting that he cannot find the "argument" in the pieces; asking Herbert to make a "concession" and add the element of an argument to the works.
