Under all his stories there ebbs and flows a kind of tempered melancholy, a sense of seeking and not finding.... I take the words from a little book on Joseph Conrad by Wilson Follett, privately printed, and now, I believe, out of print. They define both the mood of the stories as works of art and their burden and direction as criticisms of life. Like Dreiser, Conrad is forever fascinated by the immense indifference of things, the tragic vanity of the blind groping that we call aspiration, the profound meaninglessness of life-fascinated, and left wondering.
