Better than collecting stamps. Cubist, futurist, expressionist. Ever see the damn things? I gobble them up. I guess because they're cheap. Here he is the young fellow with the soft face." Meredith rose and jubilantly waved a napkin. A stocky man in loose clothes nodded at him and approached. "Not Mrs. Erik Dorn," he repeated. Anna nodded.
"Do you consider that Browning and Carlyle were influenced by the Cubist School? Cite passages not discussed in class to support your view. "Trace the effects of the Norman strain in England in the works of Tolstoi, Cervantes, and Tagore." "Write a biography of your own life, bringing out distinctly reasons pro and con. Outline form."
The cubist method, with its repetition and sharp distinction of planes, expresses this sense of mechanical process better than any other way of representation. Perhaps it came into being to express the modern sense of process as the ultimate reality of all things, even of life and growth.
But she's very amusing, isn't she? She enjoys life so furiously." "I think Bailey will find her rather a handful. Does she ever sit still, by the way? If she is going to act right along as she did to-day this portrait will look like that cubist picture of the 'Dance at the Spring'."

Jo proved to be a singularly tactful hostess and put them at their ease immediately. The tea was perfect. "Where on earth do you get it?" asked Mrs. Brown as she accepted a second cup. "Smuggle it," responded Jo.
Cubist art is a lineal descendant of Egyptian art, and so closely resembles its far-off ancestry as to seem to have bridged the centuries and connected us as if by telephone with the days of ancient civilization. Our drama and our popular songs have responded to the Egyptian thought-wave.
So fragmentary and confused are the events of that day that a cubist literature were necessary to convey the impressions left upon me. I had something of the feeling of a recruit who for the first time is taking part in a brilliant and complicated manoeuvre.
