Summary

Parabola's Summer 1991 issue: The Hunter We are all hunters. As human beings we are born looking for what we lack; we feel incomplete, we need "Something Else," as P. L. Travers calls it--something that would fill the void, be the blooming of possibilities which we sense vaguely as undeveloped. And whether or not we recognize our situation with any clarity, we can no more avoid a lifetime of hunting for this obscure fulfillment than the duckling can help seeking the water. --from the editorial Focus Cover: Plate with Peroz I or Kavad I hunting ibexes, Iran (Kaswin) Sasanian, fifth century The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York In this issue:
