“One of the things called forth by the Imagist movement in poetry was neatness; and when we say keenness, we mean neatness. A knife that is keen is also a knife that cuts neatly; it isn't brutal.

“Let me make it quite clear that when Christians say the Christ-life is in them, they do not mean simply something mental or moral.
