Scope and content

Tallboys, Abinger Hammer. - Very glad to have Trevy's poems ["Aftermath"], and has read them with great pleasure; his appreciation and depiction of the 'quiet, intimate & tender beauty of English country' is very appealing, and she brackets him with Wordsworth in this respect. Also admires the way he writes about sleep and dreams, and his 'unquenchable youthfulness of... spirit'. Comments on various poems. [Goldsworthy] Lowes Dickinson [to whom a poem is addressed], 'must have been a great man'; wishes she had known him. The poem to B.B. [Bernard Berenson] is also lovely; does want Berenson to see it. Simon [her husband] is also looking forward to reading them. Invites him to visit with Bessie as soon as is possible, and if he can to get Lady Allen to bring them. This 'roaring lion of an East wind' is hard on the buds and blossoms; 'only the dandelions like it'.
