Excerpt from Luther's Correspondence and Other Contemporary Letters, Vol. 2: 1521-1530 That much talked of literary ideal, the slice of life, is, perhaps, better realized in a book of letters than elsewhere. In a more formal treatise the multi-colored threads of which his tory is woven are neatly assorted into bundles, and each bundle dealt with separately. But in a collection of letters, as in life, all the various interests develop synchronously. The whole effect is that of a rope twisted of many strands, in which now one strand and now another comes to view, and all are inextricably intertwined. By way of preface it may not be amiss to point out some of the major interests represented in the period here treated, to pick out, if I may vary the meta phor, the principal leitmotivs of the whole symphony.
