Excerpt from Visions and Revisions: A Book of Literary Devotions What I aim at in this book is little more than to give complete reflection to those great figures in Literature which have so long obsessed me. This poor reflection of them passes, as they pass, image by image, eidolon by eidolon, in the flowing stream of my own consciousness. Most books of critical essays take upon themselves, in unpardonable effrontery, to weigh and judge, from their own petty suburban pedestal, the great Shadows they review. It is an insolence! How should Professor This, or Doctor That, whose furthest experiences of "dangerous living" have been squalid philanderings with their neighbours' wives, bring an Ethical Synthesis to bear that shall put Shakespeare and Hardy, Milton and Rabelais, into appropriate niches?

Visions and Revisions. A Book of Literary Devotions. By John Cowper Powys. What I aim at in this book is little more than to give complete reflection to those great figures in Literature which have so long obsessed me. This poor reflection of them passes, as they pass, image by image, eidolon by eidolon, in the flowing stream of my own consciousness. Most books of critical essays take upon themselves, in unpardonable effrontery, to weigh and judge, from their own petty suburban pedestal, the great Shadows they review. It is an insolence! How should Professor This, or Doctor That, whose furthest experiences of "dangerous living" have been squalid philanderings with their neighbours' wives, bring an Ethical Synthesis to bear that shall put Shakespeare and Hardy, Milton and Rabelais, into appropriate niches? Every critic has a right to his own Aesthetic Principles, to his own Ethical Convictions; but when it comes to applying these, in tiresome, pedantic agitation, to Edgar Allen Poe and Charles Lamb, we must beg leave to cry off! What we want is not the formulating of new Critical Standards, and the dragging in of the great masters before our last miserable Theory of Art. What we want is an honest, downright and quite personal articulation, as to how these great things in literature really hit us when they find us for the moment natural and off our guard—when they find us as men and women, and not as ethical gramaphones.

"[...]either too serious a matter to be mocked by satyr-laughter; or it is too sad and deplorable to be laughed at at all. In a few hundred years, surely, the human race will recognize its absolute right to make mock at the grotesque elements in the sex comedy, and such laughter will clear the air of much "virtue" and much "vice." Wine is his first symbol of the large, sane, generous mood he bequeaths to us—the focusing of the poetry of life, and the glow and daring of it, and its eternal youthfulness.[...]".

Wood and Stone is a fascinating novel known for its remarkable characters and incredibly vivid descriptions. It's a story of two cousins, Lacrima and Gladys. Lacrima is continuously tortured by her cousin, Gladys, who takes pleasure in teasing her to the point of terror. But when her most intense scheme to torment Lacrima turns against Gladys, she receives a massive blow to her ego. Powys presented a large and wonderfully sketched cast of characters in this work. They were loosely divided between the well-constituted and the ill constituted. The story is set in south Somerset, where John Cowper Powys was brought up, and the village of Nevilton is inspired by Montacute, where his father was vicar for several years. The descriptions of nature, the atmosphere, botanicals, and animals are captivating, and there is a constant awareness of past histories, landmarks, and industries. Powys successfully maintains a stable emotional bond with the readers throughout the story.
