'I was very sorry to hear about the death of "A Student in arms", whose book I read last holidays
as you may remember. I never met anything exactly like it before, it is wonderfully original and
beautiful.'
Century: 1900-1945 Reader/Listener/Group: Clive Staples Lewis Print: Book
'Nothing in it however, [ie "A Student in Arms"], if I remember aright, quite reaches the level
of this last article, a wise and charming piece of work - and doubly so from the exquisite
appropriateness with which it comes from the pen of a man who died a few days after writing
it. As you say, there is almost something divine about the way in which he sums up his beliefs
and his views on death, just as though he knew the end was coming and meant to finish off his
work. The substance of this paper resembles Bernard Shaw's cry, "Why not give Christianity a
trial?" - so far at least as the writing of a scholar and a gentleman can resemble that of a
Philistine.'

'I like last week's "Romance" by the Student in Arms very much - in some ways as much as the
other, tho' perhaps you will not agree with me.'
