The Diamond Lens

The Diamond Lens, a mad journey through life under a microscope, was published in the anthology Masterpieces of Mystery: Mystic-Humorous Stories (1920), edited by Joseph Lewis French.
"It was no scientific thirst that at this time filled my mind. It was the pure enjoyment of a poet to whom a world of wonders has been disclosed."
