Think of one blind and deaf from early childhood who finds the world "alive, ruddy, and satisfying.” That is Helen Keller’s own expression; and certainly it is a unique and important human document which is promised in her essays on “Sense and Sensibility,” the first to appear in the February Century. Here she. tells, to the world for the first time, how she “sees” and “hears." "How can the world be shriveled when this most profound, emotional sense, touch, Is faithful to its service? I am sure that if a fairy bade me choose between the sense of sight and that of touch, I would not part with the warm, endearing contact of human hands or the wealth of form, the nobility and fullness that press into my palms.”
