Pantheon

LUCIFER -- George Santayana -- Dunster House ($15.00). For the richest shelves of bookstores, for the glossiest library tables, for the nicest eyes and the longest thin fingers, some artisans in papers and inks and types have redecorated an older poet's younger pantheon. When the veils are drawn, there is crimson chiseling. When the angels speak, their celestial words are of the blue of Heaven. The rarified text -- five acts of lofty verse -- is for high thinkers, telling the tragedy of imperious Lucifer, who sought to sustain his soul by tugging at his spiritual bootstraps.
