Hitler is curious to watch. He is dressed in black, which emphasizes his
slimness; he dances backward and forward; he bows and leans sideways with
grace; he moves his arms like a ballerina; he is indeed a master of
deprtment [sic]- almost, one would say, a dancing master. He is on tiptoe;
his knees are bent; his foot flashes as he takes a step and then another
step. As for his face, it is strangely mobile; there is scorn about the
mouth, there is strength in that sudden setting of the jaw; the eyes,
which turn up frequently and show their whites, are rather dull in
repose, but they convey humour, indignation, and aspiration by
thier [sic] rolling.
And his voice is excellent; it is deep and rich and changing; it is
mostly grave, sometimes raucous, now and again shrill; it takes on
all inflections...
In Catholic Wolrd [sic] May 1939 -
Nova et Vetera - from "In my time" by sisley Huddleston.
