"Charles Divine, the poet laureate of the
Twenty-seventh Division, is now on his
way to Europe, there to gather material
for short stories and other salable writings.
It must be a noble sensation, that of casting
off for foreign shores on such a quest.
Just what, we wonder, is the procedure?
Does one haunt queer out-of-the-way cafes
(one should, it would seem), or is one led
by more experienced persons along the
path where may be encountered the colorful
and the moving things of life. Some
day, when we have gathered enough money
to pay our passage, we will go off on such a
search—and care not a whit whether we
find material or not. So much adventure is
promised in the purpose that accomplishment
or failure cannot matter greatly."
