Pièce 77 - Letter from G. Sidney Clive to R. C. Trevelyan

1 item

Perrystone Court, Ross, Herefordshire. - Thanks Bobby for returning the book on Harrow; is reading his book of essays ["Windfalls"] with 'great interest' though he knows very little of poetry and only tends to remember [Browning's] "Rabbi ben Ezra" and much of "Cyrano de Bergerac". Thinks rhythm plays a 'far bigger part' in his life than in Bobby's; whenever he goes up or down stairs he notes whether the number of steps fits the time in his head; there are twenty-nine in this house which suits almost every Harrow song, hymn and so on.
