Final Word

This week's Final Word comes from a pre-war high-flier with a mystical streak:

"Only the Spirit, breathing upon the clay, can create Man."

Entries should be submitted to Final Word, The ThEs, Admiral House, 66-68 East Smithfield, London E1 9XY, faxed to 0171-782 3300 or emailed to theschat@timsup2.demon.co.uk.

The winner receives a Pounds 20 book token and the closing date is May 2.

The winner of last week's competition, who correctly identified George Eliot's Middlemarch, is B. McMullen of Oxford.
