A Metric Goad

Aman who makes his name by verse, though he takes sides, the world is worse when he begins than when he’s through.Does he write for national review or for the Nation? If he has wit he writes, and there’s an end to it. That is to say, his point of view may be too much for me or you but, acolytes to art, we bow to the high priest with the high know-how. Such is Bill von Dreele; I’d rhyme his name with the blessed ones of Time if only I could tell for real whether his name is said, “von Dreel,” or if, let’s say, I knew that really one should pronounce it “Bill von Dreely.”

If Liberals Had Feathers, Geel What a Hunter I Would Be, by W. H. von. Dreele. Illustrations by Mary Gauerke. Foreword by Wm. F. Buckley Jr. Devin-Adair, $2.75.
