Scope and content
40 Stephensonstraat, Den Haag. - Des not know how long ago Trevelyan sent him his Bride of Dionysus, but knows he has taken a long time to acknowledge the 'friendly gift'. Hopes to write a short notice in the Dutch fortnightly periodical in which he wrote about a former work of Trevelyan's.
Read Trevelyan's most recent volume 'with much pleasure and interest': the title poem 'contains many fine parts'; thinks he likes The Rooks, The Thrush's Song, Dirge II best among the shorter poems, and especially the translation of Catullus' Attis [Carmina 63], 'in which the ring of the original is repeatedly felt and heard'. Also appreciated the translations of Alcman and Lucretius, both of whom he also has attempted to translate.
Hopes Trevelyan's wife is well.
